About the role

Versatile Electrical Engineer responsible for diagnosing and debugging the world’s largest AI compute systems from design through field deployment, with hands-on bench work and remote diagnostics across electrical, thermal, and mechanical domains.

Responsibilities

  • Characterize failure signatures and perform hands-on troubleshooting at the system, board, and component level.
  • Drive failure analysis to root cause—down to silicon, PCB, or external components—using structured, first-principles problem solving.
  • Remotely diagnose failures in deployed systems using Linux command-line tools, system logs, telemetry, diagnostic utilities, and remote-access workflows.
  • Analyze and document results clearly, and provide actionable recommendations to design and manufacturing teams.
  • Interface across internal groups (ASIC, systems, and manufacturing) and with external vendors to resolve issues and close corrective actions.
  • Participate in design reviews for next-generation systems, contributing recommendations spanning electrical design-for-test (DFT), mechanical, and thermal improvements.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 3-5+ years of experience in hardware bring-up, system integration, board/system debug, or failure analysis.
  • Strong analytical, diagnostic, and problem-solving skills, grounded in first principles.
  • Strong drive to self-educate and operate with autonomy in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
  • Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes and standard electrical bench instrumentation.
  • Scripting experience, preferably Python, for data analysis and automation.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to distill complex technical findings into clear, concise insights.
