About the role

Hands-on system design engineer to lead bring-up of high-density AI scale-up switches for next-generation AI rack infrastructure, owning from power-on to full system qualification, collaborating with hardware, firmware, and software teams.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the system bring-up and validation of state-of-the-art AI scale-up switches from initial power-on through full system validation
  • Perform high-speed SerDes and link bring-up, including configuring and validating Auto-Negotiation/Link Training (AN/LT), tuning TX equalization, and characterizing signal integrity across 200G/400G/800G interfaces
  • Execute comprehensive link qualification testing using PRBS, Snake Traffic loopback testing, and FEC analysis to validate BER performance at scale
  • Utilize LinkCAT and Broadcom SDK tools to characterize port performance, diagnose link failures, and validate PHY configurations across large port counts
  • Integrate and validate server management infrastructure including BMC/IPMI, Redfish API, and out-of-band management workflows for automated bring-up and health monitoring
  • Develop and maintain bring-up scripts and test automation (Python) to accelerate validation coverage across chassis configurations
  • Debug complex system-level failures spanning hardware, firmware, and software including signal integrity issues, firmware crashes, and management plane anomalies and drive issues to root cause
  • Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software teams to reproduce failures, document findings, and verify fixes across platform revisions
  • Maintain detailed bring-up documentation, test reports, and issue tracking throughout the product development lifecycle

Qualifications
