TL;DR · Sys/Test Validation Engineering Manager

The Manager Sys/Test Validation Eng. joins the Product Development Group to lead system test engineering efforts for next-generation accelerator products. This role involves managing and mentoring a team of system test engineers to define and execute system-level test strategies from early development through high-volume manufacturing. Key responsibilities include overseeing pre-silicon planning, post-silicon bring-up, customer sampling, and manufacturing readiness while ensuring robust coverage for functionality, compatibility, and reliability. The position requires collaborating with design, product engineering, operations, and supply chain teams to mitigate technical and schedule risks. Candidates should possess experience with GPU, accelerator, or complex SoC-based products and proficiency with Microsoft tools. The role focuses on solving validation challenges for Instinct accelerator products within a complex, geographically distributed engineering environment.

What you'll do

  • Lead and manage a team of system test engineers supporting Instinct accelerator product development.
  • Define and execute system-level test strategies from pre-silicon planning through high-volume manufacturing.
  • Drive alignment on test coverage, validation readiness, and quality metrics across lab and customer environments.
  • Oversee planning and execution for system test deliverables, schedules, and resource allocation.
  • Identify technical, schedule, and quality risks and drive mitigation plans or escalations.
  • Communicate program status, risks, and recommendations to senior and executive leadership.
  • Champion continuous improvement in test methodologies, tools, processes, and team execution.

What we're looking for

  • Lead and manage a team of system test engineers supporting Instinct accelerator product development.
  • Define and execute system-level test strategies from pre-silicon planning through high-volume manufacturing.
  • Drive alignment on test coverage, validation readiness, and quality metrics across lab, manufacturing, and customer environments.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Design, Product Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Business, and Customer Engineering teams.
  • Identify technical, schedule, and quality risks and drive mitigation plans or escalations.
  • Experience leading system test or validation teams in semiconductor product development (preferred).
  • Strong background supporting GPU, accelerator, or complex SoC-based products (preferred).
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline (preferred).
