About the Role

As a Staff Systems Bring Up Validation Engineer, you will drive multiple aspects of validation throughout the program life cycle, innovating and improving system bring-up, enablement, silicon, and system validation to deliver industry-leading technologies. Your technical leadership and validation expertise will be crucial for product development, root cause analysis, and resolution in a collaborative environment.

Responsibilities

Lead system enablement, including first silicon and firmware components, to ensure system capabilities are brought up as per plan of record and system architecture specifications.
Drive organization-wide methodology for firmware integration and best known configuration (HW/FW/SW) usage by leading the release of deployment-ready solutions.
Develop key methodologies, lab hardware, and system software capabilities, as well as system visibility and debug tools for successful system (HW/SW/FW) bring-up and validation at blade and rack level for AI compute racks.
Triage issues found during server rack validation bring-up, Post-Silicon Validation, and production phases, ensuring timely and quality issue resolution.
Develop and own test plans, and lead test case development and execution for key domains within AI compute solutions, including CPU, GPU, memory, HBM, and I/O.
Drive technical innovation to improve capabilities across system validation, including tool and script development, technical and procedural methodology enhancement, and internal/cross-functional initiatives.

Requirements

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with pronounced attention to detail.
Extensive experience in validation roles involving first silicon and system bring-up, OS, FW, Silicon, and HW.
Understanding of PC industry standard buses and their software stack, such as PCIe and CXL.
Proven experience in understanding, defining, and enabling storage and networking capabilities in a lab environment to add end-to-end validation and debug capabilities for rack and blade validation.
Strong knowledge of ARM CPU or X86 architecture, SoC design, memory, RAS & power management, and HW/SW based tools and revision control systems.
Extensive knowledge of system architecture, technical debug, and validation strategy.
Good understanding and experience in platform/system level debug, Operating System, Device Drivers, and System BIOS interactions.
Excellent communication and coordination skills.
Detail-oriented, highly organized, able to prioritize and juggle multiple workstreams to tight deadlines.
Technical leadership capable of championing new tools, methods, and capabilities to drive platform validation improvements in schedule, quality, or coverage.
Deep experience with Linux and Windows Operating Systems, Hypervisors (VMware, KVM, Hyper-V, etc.), and development and certification processes of these environments.
Experience in technical program management.
A thorough understanding of datacenter industry technologies and their software stack.
Must be a self-starter, able to independently drive tasks to completion.
