The Datacenter Graphics and Accelerated Computing (DCGPU) organization is looking for an experienced system-level debug engineer. The candidate will be part of a team that brings up, validates, and ensures the platform is fully validated, including electrical, power, networking, and SOC. The individual will lead and document the plan for validating the system itself as well as create documentation for unique steps to enable it.

The individual must drive root-cause to closure for issues encountered and communicate with functional and IP owners for resolution.

You are a highly motivated, hands-on leader with a strong development background, problem-solving mentality, excellent communication skills, ability to prioritize tasks, and willingness to learn and adapt. Excellent teamwork skills and the ability to lead a highly technical team.

Experience in debugging of complex HW/FW issues is essential. You should understand the flow of a GPU through the different layers of a system and be able to validate items connecting to the GPU SOC (PCIe, VRs, RMs, retimers, HBM, internal networking). Communication is essential when working with different owners of the functional code stack, and you should be able to drive issues via phone, chat, or email.

Hands-on experience with hardware in a data center environment is required.

• Debug / triage engineer with understanding of industry tools for root-cause analysis of complex issues
• Understand GPU / system-level HW and SW flow
• Probe parts of a board; check electrical and power currents and validate a system
• Provide leadership for driving to root cause issues
• Communicate / document flows and methods of bring-up, boot-up, system initialization and debugging
• Lead technical presentations demonstrating understanding of application, data, infrastructure, architecture expertise and application systems design

• Collaborate with application and infrastructure architects; define-design-deliver technical architectures, patterns, technical quality, risks, fitness for purpose and operability of technical solutions
• Be a leader and mentor to the operation team; be hands-on and lead by example
• Hands-on troubleshooting and solving technical issues; own the problem and drive for resolution
• Proactively support a team culture that fosters knowledge sharing, excellence, and collaboration

• Significant experience in SoC and/or system debug of complex issues
• Develop / document debug capabilities on a given SOC and system
• Go-to person for debugging of issues for production-level platform validation
• Collaborate with internal teams on root-cause issues, finding optimum resolutions
• Hands-on experience using industry debug tools and board-level power analysis

• Proven experience…
