Responsibilities
- Drive system validation strategies for AI and HPC hardware platforms, including AI accelerators, GPU clusters, and high-bandwidth memory subsystems in data center environments.
- Perform hands-on bring-up, characterization, and validation of AI server systems and associated components such as PCIe, NVLink, DRAM, and high-speed networking fabrics.
- Develop and maintain test specifications, validation procedures, and debug guides tailored to AI infrastructure NPI programs.
- Investigate and root-cause complex system failures spanning silicon, firmware, software, and hardware layers in collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams.
- Triage and track hardware and firmware defects through resolution while maintaining forward progress on NPI program milestones.
- Identify gaps in test coverage and contribute improvements to test methodologies, tooling, and automation frameworks across the NPI lifecycle.
- Partner with AI platform and capacity engineering teams to define acceptance criteria and deployment readiness standards for new AI hardware systems.
- Support data collection, analysis, and reporting efforts to surface systemic hardware quality trends.
- Communicate validation status and technical findings to internal engineering teams and external hardware vendors.
- Collaborate with firmware and software teams on hardware-software interface requirements for telemetry, diagnostics, and remote management of AI infrastructure.
Minimum Qualifications
