THE ROLE:

We are seeking an exceptional Validation Systems Design Engineer to join our Data Center GPU Systems Design and Enablement team. In this pivotal role, you will lead the charge in the AI and HPC domains, ensuring robust system-level integration and validation, particularly in the domains of Baseboard & System Management Controller, PCIe and HBM technologies by working closely with our customers. Our cutting-edge Data Center GPU solutions, encompassing APUs and GPUs, demand a proactive approach to testing, aiming not just for performance but also for identifying and mitigating potential failures.

THE PERSON:

As a Systems Design Engineer and validation visionary, your mission is to orchestrate an end-to-end system validation plan to rigorously test our products, deliberately pushing them to their limits to uncover vulnerabilities. This is a hands-on technical position that requires your expertise in systems design engineering which will be crucial for comprehensive product development, innovative validation strategies, and efficient problem-solving.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Orchestrating the development and implementation of advanced validation strategies, specifically designed to stress and break the system, thereby identifying potential product weaknesses.
• Providing pioneering technical validation initiatives, focusing on high-impact areas like PCIe, HBM and SMC/BMC firmware to identify vulnerabilities during system-level integration.
• Creating and executing validation test plans that address both functional and stress scenarios, including emulation of end-customer systems.
• Ensuring compliance with OCP standards and secure solution development, including Out of Band Management and Redfish features.
• Collaborating with multiple teams to devise and execute exhaustive validation test plans that simulate real-world stress scenarios and customer workloads.
• Championing the process of debugging, root cause analysis, and resolution of issues discovered during the validation phases of AI and HPC systems.
• Working closely with development teams to ensure all identified issues are addressed and rectified before production.
• Advancing end-to-end validation test content, utilizing creative debugging skills and innovative approaches.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Proficiency in programming/scripting languages (e.g., C/C++, Perl, Ruby, Python).
• Expertise in state-of-the-art debugging techniques and methodologies.
• Extensive experience with lab equipment such as protocol/logic analyzers and oscilloscopes.
• Deep knowledge in board/platform-level debug, including delivery, sequencing, analysis, and optimization.
• Comprehensive understanding of system architecture, with a focus on technical debug and validation strategy development.
• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with meticulous attention to detail.
• Self-driven with the ability to lead tasks independently to successful completion.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

Bachelor's degree in electrical or computer engineering
