Microsoft Overview Microsoft  Silicon, Cloud Hardware, and Infrastructure Engineering (SCHIE) is the team behind Microsoft’s expanding Cloud Infrastructure and responsible for powering Microsoft’s “Intelligent Cloud” mission. SCHIE delivers the core infrastructure and foundational technologies for Microsoft's over 200 online businesses including Bing, MSN, Office 365, Xbox Live, Teams, One Drive, and the Microsoft Azure platform globally with our server and data center infrastructure, security and compliance, operations, globalization, and manageability solutions.

Our focus is on smart growth, high efficiency, and delivering a trusted experience to customers and partners worldwide and we are looking for a Senior SoC HW (Power & Performance) Validation Engineer to help achieve that mission.

The Compute Silicon & Manufacturing Engineering (CSME) organization within SCHIE is responsible for design, development, manufacturing and packaging of Microsoft's state-of-the-art computer chips, notably the Azure Cobalt. Our solutions provide sustainable strategic advantages to Microsoft and enable our customers to achieve more.

As Microsoft's cloud business continues to grow, the ability to deploy new offerings and hardware infrastructure on time, in high volume with high quality and lowest cost is of paramount importance. To achieve this goal, the Verification & Validation team is instrumental in defining and delivering operational measures of success for hardware manufacturing, improving the planning process, quality, delivery, scale and sustainability related to Microsoft cloud hardware.

We are looking for a Senior SoC HW (Power & Performance) Validation Engineer with a dedicated passion for customer focused solutions, insight and industry knowledge to envision and implement future technical solutions that will manage and optimize the Cloud infrastructure. We are looking for a Senior SoC HW (Power & Performance) Validation Engineer to join the team to support our mission and culture.

This key role will impact the organization by delivering an optimized and tuned system to the customer.

Responsibilities The candidate for this position will be expected and able to complete the following responsibilities:

Own the post-silicon Power & Performance validation strategy and execution, including performance, power, thermal, functional, and electrical characterization across workloads and operating conditions. Define silicon performance and power characterization methodology across PVT, voltage/frequency operating points, DVFS, power states, and representative system workloads. Develop and drive performance validation plans covering compute, memory, interconnect, I/O, power management, and system-level workload behavior. Define, guide, and contribute to silicon debug, telemetry, profiling, and analysis capabilities needed to identify performance bottlenecks, power inefficiencies, and unexpected silicon behavior.

Partner with architecture, design, firmware, OS, verification, platform, and workload teams to translate product performance and power goals into measurable post-silicon validation requirements. Analyze performance, power, and thermal data to identify bottlenecks, regressions, and optimization opportunities, driving issues from detection through root cause and resolution. Develop validation environments, automation, workloads, benchmarks, tools, scripts, and methodologies needed for efficient Power & Performance…
