Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond.

Together, we advance your career. THE ROLE: We are seeking a Senior Board Hardware Debug Engineer to join our Datacenter & AI Board Validation team.

In this role you will: Own complexboard-level debugfor high-performance

Datacenter GPUplatforms Drivehardware validationfrom prototype bring-up through production Analyze and optimizeboard signalingandsystem-level designfor next-generation GPU-based solutions Work at the intersection ofcutting-edge GPU solutions, CPUs, memory, networking, and power delivery Leadsystem-level integrationand debug across multi-board, multi-GPU datacenter platforms You will be a key technical leader ensuring our boards and systems meet performance, reliability, and quality targets in demanding Datacenter and AI environments. THE PERSON: We are looking for someone who is: Hands-on: Comfortable in the lab with scopes, analyzers, probes, and soldering tools Deeply passionate aboutDEBUG and testing: Enjoys chasing down elusive failures and intermittent issues Strong inPCB-level signal integrity: Understands high-speed serial links, impedance, terminations, and layout tradeoffs Aproblem solver: Able to isolate issues systematically across silicon, firmware, board, and system domains Creative and resourceful: Able to design experiments, work around incomplete specs, and find data-driven solutions You thrive in ambiguity, enjoy complex technical challenges, and take pride in owning issues to closure. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Leadboard- and system-level DEBUGof Datacenter GPU platforms (bring-up, stability, performance, interoperability) Develop and execute functional test plansfor new boards and system configurations Perform and guide

Board Signal Integrityvalidation: eye diagrams, jitter analysis, margins, channel characterization Lead technical validation efforts across teams, driving validation priorities and test coverage for critical features Champion root-cause analysis and cross-functional debugacross silicon design, firmware, BIOS, board design, and manufacturing Collaborate closely withhardware design, layout, SI/PI, firmware, BIOS, and system engineeringteams to resolve issues Providedesign-for-test and design-for-debugfeedback for future board and system designs Document debug findings, createreproducible test cases, and drivecorrective actionsinto design and process Supportfactory, customer, and fieldescalations requiring deep hardware debug expertise PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: Proven experience in

Datacenter board designand/or

Board Validationfor server, accelerator, or networking products Strong background insystem-level hardware validation(bring-up, qualification, reliability, and margin verification) Hands-ondebug methodologies: fault isolation,



boundary scan, probing, rework, A/B comparison.

Solid understanding ofsignal integrityconcepts and tools (e.g., high-speed Ser

Des, DDR, PCIE channel analysis) Working knowledge ofcomputer and I/O protocols, such as PCIe, CXL, DDRx, NVLink, Ethernet, I2C/SMBus, SPI, etc.

Strong grasp ofsystem architecture: CPU/GPU/memory hierarchy, power sequencing, reset schemes, clocking architectures Comfortable withlab equipment: high-speed oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, BERTs, VNAs/TDRs Willing andcomfortable travelingto support engineering builds, factory ramps, and key debug events (domestic and international, as needed) Self-directed and self-motivated: able to drive tasks with minimal supervision and manage multiple debug threads in parallel ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Bachelors or Masters in Electrical Engineering or related field.
