The Principal, Server CPU Validation Engineer provides technical leadership for the post-silicon validation of next-generation server CPU products. This role involves defining validation strategies, developing methodologies, and creating coverage plans for new CPU features. The engineer leads complex system-level debug to identify and resolve silicon issues by collaborating across hardware, firmware, BIOS, operating system, and platform teams. Key responsibilities include analyzing silicon failures, identifying validation gaps, and driving infrastructure improvements. The position requires deep knowledge of x86 architecture, Linux, and low-level system debugging. Candidates must possess experience with server technologies such as PCIe, memory, power management, RAS, virtualization, and high-speed I/O. Technical skills include programming in C/C++ and Python to support the validation of complex server platforms and silicon interactions.
