Job description

We are looking for a disciplined and dynamic, Lead System Engineer – compute blade and rack Validation to join our growing compute rack validation team. As a diligent leader in Systems Engineering, you will drive multiple aspects of validation throughout the life cycle of the program. In this high visibility position, you will be part of a leading team to innovate and improve system bring-up and enablement abilities, as well as silicon and system validation to deliver the highest quality, industry leading technologies to market. Your technical leadership skills, validation and debug expertise will be necessary towards product development, definition, root cause and resolution.Your agility and collaborative approach will be essential to work within System Validation & other engineering teams (System Architects, SoC and Rack FW etc).

The technical leader will be driving key areas of system validation including leading first silicon & system bring-up (nodes and rack level systems) - rack level systems and blades will be based on ARM server architecture. Candidate will be immersed in challenging system enablement work, system validation (end-to-end) methodology, tests development and execution as well as triage/debug of critical issues to meet critical program milestones at POR quality. The candidate will also be a key contributor to state-of-the‑art HW and lab capabilities for Grapchore’s system engineering. The candidate should be able to work in a global environment while maintaining a synergetic culture.

Primary Responsibilities

• Lead the systemenablement (including first silicon and other FW components)to ensure system capabilities are brought up as per plan of record and system architecture spec.
• Drive organization wide methodology for Firmware integration and best known configuration (HW/FW/SW) usage model by leading the release of deployment ready solutions.
• Develop key methodologies, lab HW and system SW capabilitiesas well assystem visibilities and debug toolsnecessary for successful system (HW/SW/FW) bring‑up andsystem validation at blade and rack level for AI compute rack.
• Triageissues found during server rack validation bring‑up, Post‑Silicon Validation, and production phases of the program. Ensure issues are solved on time with quality.
• Develop and own test plans,lead test casedevelopmentand execution of key domains within AI computesolutions like CPU, GPU, memory, HBM, IO etc.
• Drive technical innovation to improve capabilities acrosssystem validation, includingtool, script development, technical and proceduralmethodologyenhancement, and various internal and cross‑functional technical initiatives.

Qualifications

• Strong analytical/problem‑solving skills and pronounced attention to details
• Extensiveexperience in validation roles involvingfirstsilicon and systembring up,OS, FW, Silicon, and HW
• Understanding of PC industry standardbusesand their software stack, suchasPCIe, CXL.
• Proven experience in understanding,definingand enabling storage(storage rack), networkingcapabilities(network rack,DNS, DHCPetc)in a lab environment to help add end‑to‑end validation and debug capabilitiesfor rack and blade validation.
• Strong knowledge ofARM CPU orX86 architecture, SoC design, memory, RAS & power managementas well asHW/SW based tools, and revision control systems.
• Extensive knowledge of system architecture, technical debug, and validation strategy
• Good understanding and experience in platform/ system level debug, Operating System, DeviceDriversand System BIOS interactions.
• Excellent communication and coordination skills.
• Detailed oriented, highly organized, able to prioritize, and juggle multiple workstreams to tight deadlines.
• Technical leadership: capable of championing new tools, methods, and capabilities to drive platform validation improvements in schedule, quality, or coverage.
• Deep experience with Linu
