About the Role
This role is responsible for developing diagnostic software and stress tools that expose hardware failures, characterize silicon behavior, and improve platform observability throughout bring-up and validation for next-generation AI SoCs.
Responsibilities
- Learn and extend existing Arm diagnostics tools to support Graphcore’s AI platform.
- Develop specialized diagnostics and stress-testing software for CPU, memory, interconnect, PCIe, and other system components.
- Build reusable validation utilities that integrate into the existing validation framework.
- Develop tools that expose intermittent hardware failures including silent data corruption, timing-related issues, and hardware instability.
- Design configurable diagnostic applications supporting multiple silicon revisions, platforms, and execution environments.
- Develop automation for executing diagnostics across server and rack-scale validation environments.
- Design configuration-driven diagnostics supporting scalable parameterization and workload variation.
- Collaborate with hardware architects to understand new hardware capabilities and identify missing diagnostics.
- Work closely with firmware and validation teams to improve hardware observability.
- Debug low-level hardware, firmware, operating system, and driver interactions.
- Analyze diagnostic output and improve fault isolation methodologies.
- Develop software that enables engineers to reproduce and investigate difficult hardware failures.
- Contribute reusable libraries and utilities that improve engineering productivity across multiple validation teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Strong experience developing hardware diagnostics, system validation software, firmware validation tools, or low-level systems software.
- Strong software development skills in Python and C/C++.
- Strong Linux systems experience.
- Strong understanding of modern server platform architecture, including how CPU, memory, PCIe, storage, networking, firmware, operating system, and device drivers interact within a complete system.
- Experience debugging hardware/software interactions across multiple layers of the platform.
- Experience developing diagnostics, stress testing, or hardware validation software.
- Experience with server platforms, embedded systems, or SoC validation.
- Strong analytical and debugging skills.
- Experience collaborating across hardware, firmware, software, and validation teams.
- Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
