Senior System Integration and Validation Engineer
The Senior System Integration and Validation Engineer joins the Silicon Co-Design Group to lead system validation, debug, and cross-functional alignment for high-stakes silicon programs. This role focuses on identifying critical silicon and platform issues before they reach customers by shifting validation coverage left through stress testing, PVT, and feature-interaction tests. You will own end-to-end system validation for GPU, SoC, and platform programs while leading the debug of complex cross-stack issues involving logic, signal integrity, power delivery, firmware, and software interactions. Key responsibilities include developing test plans, scripts, and automation for next-generation chips and building AI-enabled validation workflows with robust guardrails. You will collaborate with global teams to resolve multi-team failures and translate technical risks into decision-ready options. Required expertise includes high-speed I/O, power delivery, thermal management, and experience with GPU or SoC architectures.
Own end-to-end system validation for GPU, SoC, and platform programs including feature checks and multi-unit fleet testing.
Lead the debug of complex cross-stack issues involving logic, signal integrity, power delivery, firmware, and software interactions.
Develop test plans, scripts, and automation to translate architecture and boot flows into executable coverage before physical builds.
Design and deploy AI-enabled debug and validation workflows with established guardrails to improve cycle time and debug velocity.
Translate complex silicon and system risks into clear, decision-ready options for technical and executive audiences.
Lead crisis-mode debug task forces to resolve program blockers and convert findings into reusable methodologies for other teams.
Partner with globally distributed engineering teams to align on hardware, firmware, and manufacturing requirements.
What we're looking for
Hold a BTech/BE or MTech/ME in Electronics, Electrical, or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience).
Have 8+ years of post-silicon validation, system integration, or platform debug experience on shipped GPU, CPU, or SoC products.
Possess hands-on debug depth across silicon, board, and software boundaries including logic design, signal integrity, power delivery, high-speed I/O, and PVT behavior.
Demonstrate strong EE fundamentals in SI/PI, power delivery, and thermal with an understanding of GPU, CPU, or SoC architecture.
Provide a specific example of taking an ambiguous, multi-team failure to root-cause closure with a productized fix.
Show a track record of leading a project team end-to-end through a crisis with owned decision points.
Demonstrate a built or scaled AI-driven validation workflow with measurable impact on debug velocity, coverage, or escape rate.
Experience in HBM, SerDes, advanced packaging, or building reusable validation methodologies (preferred).
