  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of validation experience
  • Strong understanding of digital design, circuit design and analysis, computer architecture, and CPU/GPU architecture
  • Validation experience with board bringup, lab debug, and lab tools such as oscilloscopes and multimeters
  • Programming skills with experience in Python or other scripting languages

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop validation plans for GPU and CPU modules and other peripheral cards
  • Debug, triage issues, perform root cause analysis, and verify fixes
  • Conduct electrical, functional, and stress testing of all interfaces
  • Track and coordinate all validation activities from bringup to production release
  • Collaborate with multi-functional teams to test and debug hardware and software product issues
  • Provide schematic and layout reviews on next generation board designs
