TL;DR · System Test Validation Engineer

Sys/Test Validation Eng. works within the Product Development Group to support Data Center GPU products for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and High-Performance Computing applications. The role involves developing manufacturing test strategies, diagnostic solutions, and automation infrastructure to ensure successful product introduction and high-volume production. Key responsibilities include leading system bring-up, debugging complex hardware and firmware issues, providing Design for Testability recommendations, and improving yield and quality through scalable test solutions. The candidate will utilize Python, Bash, Perl, Ruby, C, C++, C#, or Java to develop automated diagnostic content. Technical requirements include expertise in Linux environments, computer architecture, and components like motherboards, FPGAs, and PCIe. The role addresses the challenge of manufacturing and validating complex GPU-based systems while collaborating with cross-functional teams to resolve non-recurring technical problems and optimize production efficiency.

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 methodologies and manufacturing processes.
  • Lead system bring-up and debug of complex hardware, firmware, and software issues during product build phases.
  • Create automated diagnostic content and validation infrastructure using Python and other scripting languages.
  • Provide Design for Testability (DFT) recommendations during early product design reviews.
  • Identify and lead initiatives to improve test coverage, production yield, and manufacturing efficiency.
  • Investigate and implement new manufacturing technologies and tools to resolve non-recurring technical problems.
  • Support global manufacturing partners during new product introduction and high-volume production ramps.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline; master's degree preferred.
  • Experience with post-silicon system integration including test programs, content, diagnostics, and supporting collateral.
  • Expertise in system-level software and environments such as BKC, IFWI, BIOS, firmware, boot processes, MCA, and POST codes.
  • Knowledge of system hardware components including motherboards, SMCs, BMCs, voltage regulators, FPGAs, and related parts.
  • Experience with SoC and platform bring-up and debug of complex hardware, firmware, and software issues.
  • Proficiency in Python and other scripting languages like Bash, Perl, Ruby, or shell.
  • Programming experience in C, C++, C#, or Java.
  • Knowledge of Linux/Unix operating systems, computer architecture, and revision-control systems like Git or SVN.
