TL;DR · Senior System/Test Validation Engineer

The Sr. System/Test Validation Engineer joins the Product Development Engineering team to support Data Center Accelerated Computing products. This role focuses on developing and deploying manufacturing test solutions for GPUs used in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and High-Performance Computing applications. The engineer will design scalable board and system-level hardware test solutions, develop diagnostic tools and automation using Python and other scripting languages like Bash, Perl, or Ruby, and provide Design for Testability recommendations during early development. Key responsibilities include debugging complex hardware and software issues, improving manufacturing yield, and managing validation infrastructure. Required technical competencies include proficiency in Linux environments, knowledge of IPMI, PCIe, BMC, and thermal solutions, and experience with version-control systems like Git. The role involves solving critical production efficiency problems while collaborating with distributed teams to ensure high product quality.

What you'll do

  • Develop manufacturing test strategies including the design and qualification of fixtures, equipment, and diagnostic software.
  • Define scalable board-level and system-level hardware test solutions and manufacturing processes.
  • Provide Design for Testability (DFT) recommendations during early product development stages.
  • Create test content, diagnostic tools, and automation solutions using Python and other scripting languages.
  • Debug complex hardware, software, device, and manufacturing issues during production phases.
  • Partner with stakeholders to improve manufacturing yield, reduce costs, and increase test efficiency.
  • Evaluate and implement new manufacturing test technologies and methodologies.
  • Lead the resolution of complex technical problems and provide leadership on engineering decisions.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • Experience developing and supporting manufacturing test programs for board- or system-level products.
  • Experience in data center system testing, hardware validation, and multi-domain debugging (hardware, software, device, and manufacturing).
  • Proficiency in Python programming and Bash or shell scripting.
  • Strong working knowledge of Linux or UNIX operating systems.
  • Knowledge of IPMI, PCIe, BMC, and thermal solutions.
  • Experience with version-control systems such as Git, SVN, CVS, or RCS.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with geographically distributed engineering and manufacturing teams.
