TL;DR · Platform Validation Lead, IO Interfaces

The Platform Validation Lead - IO Interfaces joins the datacenter CPU and AI post silicon validation team to drive system validation and debug of AI GPU systems. This role involves developing and executing feature enablement and validation test plans for SoC and system-level features across server and AI products. The candidate will build post-silicon validation infrastructure, including software, hardware, and automation environments, while leveraging AI/ML technologies to enhance test automation efficiency and root-cause identification. Key responsibilities include creating test content for IO domain stress testing and collaborating with partners to resolve platform issues in datacenter environments. Required expertise includes highspeed IO such as PCIe, CXL, and RAS. Technical skills involve proficiency in Linux or Microsoft OS, programming languages like C/C++, Python, or Perl, and using tools such as Oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and JTAG based Debug Tools.

What you'll do

  • Develop and execute feature enablement and validation test plans for SoC and system-level features across Server and AI products.
  • Integrate AI/ML technologies to improve post-silicon validation, debug efficiency, and automated failure triage.
  • Create test content for focus testing, system-level stress testing, and cross-product IO domain testing.
  • Perform functional validation, regression, and debugging for Networking, IFoE, IB, UAL, Scale up, and Scale out domains.
  • Build post-silicon validation infrastructure including software, hardware, automation environments, and lab setups.
  • Provide root cause analysis for platform issues involving SoC logic, performance, and BIOS/firmware in datacenter environments.

What we're looking for

  • A Bachelor's degree in BSEE/CSE/CS with 8+ years of experience or a Master's degree in EEE/CSE/CS with 6+ years of experience.
  • Expertise in high-speed IO such as PCI Express, CXL, or RAS to drive system validation and debug for AI GPU systems.
  • Experience developing test plans, execution, and strong debug skills at the SoC and platform levels.
  • Proficiency in programming or scripting languages such as C/C++, Python, or Perl (preferred).
  • Extensive experience with board/platform-level debug including delivery, sequencing, analysis, and optimization (preferred).
  • Ability to use Oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and JTAG based Debug Tools for capturing data (preferred).
  • Knowledge of pre-silicon environments such as Verification, Emulation, or Virtual Bring-Up (preferred).
  • Proficiency with Linux or Microsoft Operating Systems (preferred).
