## Description

MatX is on a mission to be the compute platform for AGI. We are developing vertically integrated full-stack solutions from silicon to systems including hardware and software to train and run the largest ML workloads for AGI. MatX is seeking silicon micro-architects and design engineers to join our team as we create best-in-class silicon for high-performance and sustainable GenAI. Successful candidates for these roles will be responsible for delivering performant and functionally accurate silicon for MatX products across compute, memory management. High-speed connectivity and other key technologies., We are looking for a Diagnostic Engineer to join our Hardware System team. The successful candidate will be responsible for defining, designing, and owning the end-to-end diagnostics test suite for manufacturing, debugging and deployment of our rack-scale AI data center product. This role is crucial for collaborating with JDM to ensure high manufacturing yield and robust products from manufacturing to customer deployment.

What You'll Do Here

 * Own the end-to-end diagnostics test suite for accelerator boards and racks
 * Develop diagnostic tools covering the AI chip, PCIe, HBM, power, and thermal
 * Define test coverage and pass/fail criteria for manufacturing screening
 * Enable JDM/ODM partners with documentation, tooling, and hands-on debug support
 * Support partners technically through NPI and production ramp phases
 * Triage and root-cause manufacturing test escapes and field failures
 * Build and maintain CI/CD infrastructure for the diagnostics software stack
 * Track quality metrics - yield, test coverage, defect density - and report out
