About the role

Role focused on shaping AI/ML hardware acceleration through validation and bring-up of custom silicon (TPU-related). Responsible for pre- and post-silicon validation, test planning, and collaboration across cross-functional teams to enable production-grade silicon products.

Responsibilities

  • Own the bringup and New Product Introduction (NPI) phases to enable custom silicon products, validating ASIC subsystems such as boot, PCIe, memory (e.g., HBM, SRAM), compute cores, and power.
  • Design, develop, operate, and maintain detailed validation tests and test plans in coordination with cross-functional architecture, design, and software teams.
  • Perform system characterization, qualification, and debugging to root-cause failures across both pre-silicon prototyping platforms and post-silicon production.
  • Provide feedback to improve critical features like power management quality, performance, and reliability through successive generations of designs.
  • Partner with customers, systems, manufacturing, diagnostics, and vendor teams to resolve issues and eliminate failures by "shifting left" in the production and deployment lifecycle.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8 years of experience with hardware engineering, ASIC digital design, design validation, test planning, and test design.
