AI Accelerator Module Validation Engineer

Meta; Menlo Park (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

Meta is seeking an AI Accelerator Module Validation Engineer to own validation test plans for server and AI/HPC modules, coordinating with Electrical, Thermal, and Firmware teams across EVT–PVT stages.

The role emphasizes deep expertise in electrical/thermal validation, test automation, and collaboration with ODM/JDM partners to ensure quality before mass production. Strong experience with ESS/HASS and SI/PI is required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor-level degree in a technical discipline required.
• 8+ years hardware validation/test engineering experience in data center/AI/HPC environments.
• 4+ years validating electrical, thermal and mechanical domains.
• Experience with server module architectures (DDR4/DDR5/HBM, PCIe/CXL/NVLink) and power delivery.
• 4+ years lab experience with electrical test equipment (O-scopes, logic analyzers, etc.).
• Experience with ODM/JDM partners (Asia) and industry standards (JEDEC, OCP, Intel/AMD).
• 8+ years ESS/HASS and accelerated life testing experience.
• 8+ years signal integrity and power integrity validation experience.
• Scripting for test automation and data analysis (Python, Bash).
• 5+ years ASIC/accelerator module validation experience (GPU/TPU/etc).
• Strong data analysis using statistical methods (Cpk, GR&R, Weibull).
• Experience scaling validation to high-volume manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Own and drive module-specific validation test plans across the full product lifecycle (EVT, DVT, PVT, MP).
• Execute electrical, thermal, signal integrity, and power delivery validation testing for server and AI/HPC modules.
• Advance test plans and methodologies for comprehensive functional, performance, reliability, and compliance coverage.
• Evaluate ODM/JDM partner testing plans and results to meet Meta standards.
• Allocate equipment and resources to meet testing milestones.
• Develop and maintain validation test procedures, specs, and acceptance criteria.
• Perform root cause analysis on test escapes and field returns; drive corrective actions.
• Collaborate with Mechanical, Thermal, Firmware, and Supply Chain teams for readiness.
• Define and track validation metrics and KPIs; provide updates to leadership.
• Drive test infrastructure automation and lab capabilities for scaling across programs.
• Incorporate field feedback from Data Center Site Operations and NPI teams into validation.
