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-performanceDatacenter 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 guideBoard 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 inDatacenter board designand/orBoard 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 SerDes, 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, or equivalent practical experience
