Hardware Test Engineer

ITAR Notice:
This role involves access to ITAR-controlled information. Applicants must be U.S. persons (U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, asylees, or refugees) per 22 CFR 120.62.

Own the test that proves our AI accelerator hardware works - from the packaged units, to the boards they sit on, to the systems they ship in. You'll develop the test setups, test hardware, and coverage/yield/throughput that let us catch problems early and ship 'll sit at the seam between silicon/packaging and the systems our accelerators run in, and own the test strategy that spans package level, board level, and - increasingly - full system level.

• Develop and run package-level test - socket-based bring-up and validation of packaged units: power-up, interface/interconnect continuity, and functional/parametric checks against spec (board--package interface, not ATE silicon device test)
• Develop and run board-level test - functional, structural (boundary scan/JTAG), in-circuit, and bring-up validation for accelerator boards and system hardware
• Build out system-level test - bring up and validate assembled accelerator systems against spec, including functional, stress, and burn-in flows
• Design and validate test hardware and fixtures - sockets, connectors, load boards, and board/system fixtures for high-speed and high-current test
• Drive test coverage, yield analysis, and test-time/cost reduction across the product lifecycle
• Lead new-product test bring-up; resolve test escapes, yield excursions, and hardware failures with data-driven root cause
• Run characterization and correlation across levels - package -- board -- system, and bench -- production test
• Define test specs, limits, and guard bands with design, product, packaging, and reliability engineering
• Transfer and sustain test programs at OSAT/CM and manufacturing partners through ramp to high volume
• Use and develop AI-assisted tool flows to accelerate test development, debug, and yield analysis

• BS/MS in Electrical/Computer Engineering or equivalent plus 5+ years in package/board/system-level hardware test engineering
• Hands‑on test experience across at least two of package-level, board-level, and system-level test - with the ability to own the others
• Package and board test hardware experience (sockets, connectors, load boards, fixtures) and the signal/power integrity that comes with high-speed, high-current test
• Lab bring‑up and debug skills: oscilloscopes, logic and protocol analyzers, power and thermal instrumentation
• Data analysis and statistical skills for yield, characterization, and correlation work
• Optional: high-speed I/O / Ser Des, DDR/HBM, RF, or high-current/power-device test; structural test (boundary scan); scripting/automation (Python, C++); system burn‑in and reliability test; OSAT/CM partner management

Full compensation packages are based on candidate experience and relevant certifications.
