TL;DR · Validation Engineer, AI & Server Platforms

The Validation Engineer – AI & Server Platforms joins the datacenter CPU and AI post silicon validation team to drive system validation and debug for AI GPU systems. This role involves developing and executing feature enablement and validation test plans for SoC and system-level features across server and AI products. Key responsibilities include developing post-silicon validation infrastructure, creating test content for IO domain stress testing, and providing root cause analysis for platform, logical, performance, and BIOS issues. The position requires expertise in highspeed IO such as PCIe, CXL, and RAS. Candidates must utilize AI/ML technologies for test automation, data analytics, and failure triage. Required skills include proficiency in C/C++, Python, or Perl, along with experience using Oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and JTAG based Debug Tools.

What you'll do

  • Develop and execute feature enablement and validation test plans for SoC and system-level features.
  • Use AI/ML technologies to enhance post-silicon validation, debug, and test automation efficiency.
  • Develop test content for focus testing and system-level stress testing of IO domains.
  • Functionally validate, regress, and debug Networking, IFoE, IB, and UAL domains.
  • Develop post-silicon validation infrastructure including software, hardware, and lab setups.
  • Provide root cause analysis for platform, SoC logical, performance, and BIOS/firmware issues.
  • Perform board-level debug using oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and JTAG-based tools.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in BSEE/CSE/CS with 5+ years of experience.
  • Master's degree in MSEE/CSE/CS with 3+ years of experience.
  • Expertise in high-speed IO such as PCI Express, CXL, or RAS to drive system validation and debug of AI GPU systems.
  • Experience developing validation test plans, execution, and strong debug skills at the SoC/Platform level.
  • Experience developing post-silicon validation infrastructure including software, hardware, automation environments, and lab setups.
  • Familiarity with programming or scripting languages such as C/C++, Python, or Perl (preferred).
  • Experience handling captures using Oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and JTAG based Debug Tools (preferred).
  • Knowledge of pre-silicon environments such as Verification, Emulation, or Virtual Bring-Up (preferred).
