Responsibilities

As a System Level Test Engineer, you will own systemlevel test strategy, execution, and diagnostics for complex CPU, GPU, and acceleratorbased platforms across the highvolume manufacturing and datacenter deployment lifecycle. As a part of this role, you will be expected to support our team by:

• Developing system level test (SLT) platform, strategy, requirements, tools, methodologies across hardware and software. Programming (C# or Python) knowledge is a must.
• Collaborating with team members and partner teams to develop and integrate hardware, firmware, content, automation solution for SLT platform.
• Generate and leverage correlation, characterization, and performance data to optimize outgoing quality and power/performance.
• Manage high volume manufacturing on OSAT for System Level Testing (SLT). Work on improving stability, test time and yield of System Level Testing at OSAT.
• Involve in RMA (Feedback from System/Rack failures) checkout, debug and dispositioning. This includes system level failure triage and debug across silicon, hardware, software as well as identification of test coverage improvement at ATE or SLT socket to plug the RMA gap.
• Product characterization and correlation for power/performance from system to ATE.
• Define, guide, and contribute to the development of the software automation infrastructure for SLT and system to tester correlation activities.
• Management of multiple development activities across a variety of product groups.
  
  

Qualifications

Position Requirements:

• Strong technical background in HPC, AI, GPU, and CPU architectures
• Proven experience in systemlevel validation and systemscale testing
• Handson experience with highvolume manufacturing, systemlevel test, and ATEbased functional testing
• Experience with production RMA execution, failure analysis, and dispositioning
• Understanding of system bringup, power, memory, IO, interconnects, and firmware interactions
• Demonstrated ability to perform crossdomain root cause analysis and drive issues to closure
• Experience supporting datacenterclass systems or largescale deployments
