Summary ✨ AI‑Generated

A hardware test engineering role owning validation across packaged semiconductor units, accelerator boards, and complete computing systems. Responsibilities include test setup development, bring-up, functional and structural testing, system validation, and building strategies that improve coverage, yield, and throughput.

Highlights

End-to-end hardware test ownership spanning packaged units, accelerator boards, and complete systems, with direct influence over test coverage, yield, throughput, and product quality at scale.

Description

About The Role: Own the test that proves our AI accelerator hardware works — from the packaged units, to the boards they sit on, to the systems they ship in. You'll develop the test setups, test hardware, and coverage/yield/throughput that let us catch problems early and ship at volume. You'll sit at the seam between silicon/packaging and the systems our accelerators run in, and own the test strategy that spans package level, board level, and — increasingly — full system level. What You'll Do Develop and run package-level test — socket-based bring-up and validation of packaged units: power-up, interface/interconnect continuity, and functional/parametric checks against spec (board↔package interface, not ATE silicon device test)Develop and run board-level test — functional, structural (boundary scan/JTAG), in-circuit, and bring-up validation for accelerator boards and system hardwareBuild out system-level test — bring up and validate assembled accelerator systems against spec, including functional, stress, and burn-in flowsDesign and validate test hardware and fixtures — sockets, connectors, load boards, and board/system fixtures for high-speed and high-current testDrive test coverage, yield analysis, and test-time/cost reduction across the product lifecycleLead new-product test bring-up; resolve test escapes, yield excursions, and hardware failures with data-driven root causeRun characterization and correlation across levels — package ↔ board ↔ system, and bench ↔ production testDefine test specs, limits, and guardbands with design, product, packaging, and reliability engineeringTransfer and sustain test programs at OSAT/CM and manufacturing partners through ramp to high volumeUse and develop AI-assisted tool flows to accelerate test development, debug, and yield analysis What We're Looking For BS/MS in Electrical/Computer Engineering or equivalent plus 5+ years in package/board/system-level hardware test engineeringHands-on test experience across at least two of package-level, board-level, and system-level test — with the ability to own the othersPackage and board test hardware experience (sockets, connectors, load boards, fixtures) and the signal/power integrity that comes with high-speed, high-current testLab bring-up and debug skills: oscilloscopes, logic and protocol analyzers, power and thermal instrumentationData analysis and statistical skills for yield, characterization, and correlation work(Optional) High-speed I/O / SerDes, DDR/HBM, RF, or high-current/power-device test; structural test (boundary scan); scripting/automation (Python, C++); system burn-in and reliability test; OSAT/CM partner management Compensation Final offers depend on level, location, and skills relevant to the role.
