TL;DR · Server Platform Validation Engineer

The Server Platform Validation Engineer joins a global engineering team to deliver and support Best Known Configurations across multiple server programs. This hands-on role involves troubleshooting system-level issues, executing validation and regression testing, and ensuring timely BKC releases. The engineer will work directly with server platforms in a lab environment, focusing on x86 CPUs, GPU/accelerator integration, and hardware/software interactions. Key responsibilities include performing system setup, analyzing platform issues, and collaborating with software, firmware, and validation disciplines. Required skills include experience with server platform validation, Linux and Windows operating systems, and programming languages like Python, C/C++, or Perl. The role addresses the technical challenge of validating complex server architectures and system boot flows while utilizing AI tools to automate technical workflows and improve engineering efficiency.

What you'll do

  • Support the validation, execution, and release of Best Known Configurations (BKCs) across multiple server programs.
  • Serve as the primary North American technical point of contact for global BKC engineering stakeholders.
  • Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve system and platform issues to minimize development blockers.
  • Perform hands-on server platform validation including system setup, regression execution, and analysis in a lab environment.
  • Take ownership of assigned portions of the BKC release process and drive activities to completion.
  • Collaborate with software, firmware, and validation teams to investigate platform-level hardware and software integration issues.
  • Ensure weekly BKC releases are completed on schedule and free of significant issues before delivery.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable technical discipline (preferred).
  • Experience with server platform validation, system validation, or system engineering (preferred).
  • Experience with post-silicon validation and/or platform validation programs (preferred).
  • Understanding of modern x86 CPU and PC/server platform architecture, including system boot flow (preferred).
  • Experience with server CPU and GPU/accelerator integration or broader hardware/software system integration (preferred).
  • Working knowledge of server operating systems, particularly Linux and Windows (preferred).
  • Experience developing or executing system-level validation methodologies, test plans, regression testing, or validation infrastructure (preferred).
  • Familiarity with programming or scripting languages such as Python, C/C++, or Perl (preferred).
