Sr. System/Test Validation Engineer

Job Title

Sr. System/Test Validation Engineer

Role Summary

Senior test engineer supporting Data Center Accelerated Computing products. Develop and deploy manufacturing test solutions for GPUs used in AI, ML, and HPC workloads.

Work onsite at a manufacturing facility and collaborate with product engineering, design validation, and manufacturing partners to deliver scalable test strategies, automation, validation infrastructure, and product improvements that affect quality, yield, cost, and production efficiency.

Experience Level

Senior-level (title indicates senior role; no explicit years-of-experience specified).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include design and deployment of board- and system-level manufacturing tests, automation, and validation used in production.

• Develop manufacturing test strategies and define test fixtures, equipment, and diagnostic software requirements.
• Design scalable board- and system-level hardware test solutions, methodologies, and manufacturing processes.
• Review early product designs and provide Design for Testability (DFT) recommendations.
• Create test content, diagnostic tools, and automation using Python and other scripting languages.
• Contribute to automated diagnostic generation and validation infrastructure.
• Debug complex hardware, software, device, and manufacturing issues during build and production phases.
• Partner with cross-functional teams and manufacturing partners to improve yield, reduce cost, and increase test efficiency.
• Evaluate and introduce new manufacturing test technologies and tools.
• Lead resolution of novel/non-recurring technical problems and mentor junior engineers.
• Maintain effective working relationships across geographically distributed engineering and manufacturing teams.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, practical experience, and work eligibility notes.

• Proven experience developing and supporting manufacturing test programs for board- or system-level products in production environments.
• Strong data center system-level test, hardware validation, and debug experience across hardware, software, device, and manufacturing domains.
• Proficiency with Python and shell scripting (Bash); experience with test automation and diagnostic tooling.
• Strong working knowledge of Linux/UNIX environments.
• Familiarity with IPMI, PCIe, BMC, and thermal solutions.
• Experience with test pattern/vector development, timing, and diagnostic generation for manufacturing tests.
• Experience working with manufacturing partners to drive yield, quality, cost, and test-efficiency improvements.
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical problem resolution and mentor junior engineers; effective communicator across distributed teams.
• Ability to work onsite at a manufacturing site.
• This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship; candidates must be authorized to work in the United States.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with additional scripting languages (Perl, Ruby) and programming languages (C, C++, C#, Java).
• Familiarity with version-control systems (Git, SVN, CVS) and Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban); Scrum Master or Product Owner experience is a plus.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
