About the Role
Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, enabling industry-leading training and inference speeds that transform AI application user experiences and unlock real-time iteration and increased intelligence. We collaborate with leading AI organizations, including a multi-year partnership with OpenAI.
Responsibilities
- Participate in bring-up of next-generation AI hardware systems and supporting software infrastructure.
- Debug complex system-level issues spanning hardware and software interactions.
- Investigate failures occurring during system bring-up and identify root causes using logs, telemetry, and diagnostic tools.
- Build automation frameworks and internal tooling that improve system validation and debugging workflows.
- Develop software used to test, validate, and stress distributed hardware systems during development and production cycles.
- Collaborate closely with hardware engineers to isolate and resolve system integration issues.
- Improve system observability by building tools that surface failures quickly and accelerate debugging.
- Reproduce, triage, and diagnose difficult issues that arise during early hardware deployment.
- Support validation and qualification of new hardware generations as systems move toward production readiness.
- Continuously improve internal engineering workflows related to debugging, testing, and automation.
