AI Silicon Bringup Engineer - Systems Software

United States Digital Space LLC; United States; Remote; USD 180,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

The company’s Hardware organization develops AI-native silicon and system-level solutions for advanced AI workloads. You will drive the software bringup and validation strategy for new silicon, turning hardware specs into working, production-ready platforms and robust tests.

Working at the intersection of silicon, firmware, platform, and workloads, you will define test coverage, build automation and telemetry, and lead cross-functional bringup from first power-on through model execution in real

Qualifications

• Strong systems programming experience in C, C++, Rust, Python or similar.
• Experience bringing up or validating complex silicon, accelerators, servers, or hardware-software systems.
• Understanding of computer architecture and subsystems for compute, memory, interconnect and I/O.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the end-to-end software bringup and validation strategy for new silicon and first-party systems.
• Define software-driven test coverage across compute, memory, interconnect, I/O, and their system-level interactions.
• Build diagnostics, test automation, telemetry, and regression infrastructure that accelerate first-silicon learning and issue isolation.
• Lead bringup from initial silicon arrival through board and system integration, docking, runtime enablement, and model execution.
• Design stress tests that characterize reliability, performance, and stability across workloads and operating conditions.
• Translate architecture specifications and performance models into measurable acceptance criteria, coverage goals, and pass/fail signals.
• Debug complex hardware-software failures, drive root-cause analysis, and coordinate fixes across silicon, firmware, electrical, platform, and workload teams.
