AI Silicon Bringup Systems Engineer

OpenAI; United States; Remote; USD 180,000 - 230,000; Full time

Job summary

OpenAI is seeking a systems software engineer to drive end-to-end bringup of AI silicon and first-party systems. You will move from power-on to a fully integrated platform capable of running production-like workloads and models.

You will define software-driven test coverage, build diagnostics, telemetry, and regression infrastructure to accelerate learning and issue isolation across silicon, firmware, platform, and workloads.

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, and 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.
