About the role

We are seeking a Sr. Technical Staff to support the post-silicon validation of Cerebras Wafer Scale Engines. In this role, you will test and debug new silicon, develop automation and debug tools, support wafer bring-up and manufacturing operations, and collaborate across hardware and software engineering teams to ensure high-quality system performance.

Responsibilities

  • Perform post-silicon validation of Cerebras Wafer Scale Engines. Test and debug issues on new silicon.
  • Test, analyze, and characterize high-speed serial interfaces to verify compliance with hardware specifications, record performance data, and recommend design modifications to optimize functionality.
  • Work with the silicon and operations team to test, bring up, and run burn-in on wafer-scale systems.
  • Support manufacturing operations to utilize the wafer bring-up flow. Perform wafer bring-ups, diagnose, and debug problems encountered.
  • Develop and implement hardware to ensure compliance with design specifications.
  • Collaborate with hardware design engineers and system software engineers to review specifications and recommend changes that will improve the quality and verifiability of the hardware designs.
  • Create and maintain automated regression test scripts, using Python and/or Bash, that ensure all tests are run and pass after each change to the design, testbench, tests, or reference model.
  • Work with system team members to diagnose system-related failures. Understand the key system interfaces to FPGAs, power, and cooling, and apply that knowledge to the debug of silicon features.
  • Develop debug tools in Python to program and analyze the behavior of the Wafer Scale Engine.
  • Develop wafer bring-up flow utilizing Python and shell scripts to capture the steps required to bring up a wafer in a logical, easy-to-use flow.
