## About the Role

* 5+ years bringing up complex digital boards - server, networking, ASIC/FPGA platforms or comparable
 * Proven first-silicon or first-board bring-up experience, start to working system
 * Strong lab skills: oscilloscopes, logic and protocol analysers, power measurement, JTAG and debug interfaces
 * Able to read schematics, layout and datasheets, and reason about what the board should be doing
 * Experience debugging across the hardware/firmware boundary, including boot and sequencing issues
 * Python scripting for test automation, instrument control and data analysis

Nice to Have:

 * High-speed interface bring-up: PCIe, DDR/LPDDR, Ethernet or SerDes link training and margining
 * BMC, firmware or embedded Linux familiarity
 * Experience with rack-scale or multi-node system integration
 * Rework and board-level repair skills
 * Exposure to automated or AI-assisted lab and test flows

## Description

What you will work on:

 * First power-on and bring-up of a multi-die AI accelerator board
 * Debug and triage across power, clocks, reset, boot, high-speed interfaces and firmware
 * Lab infrastructure: test benches, instrumentation, fixtures and automation
 * Characterisation and margin testing on real silicon
 * Rack-scale system integration and multi-node bring-up

Responsibilities:

 * Bring-up execution: Own the power-on sequence, voltage and clock checks, reset and boot flow, and the first interface links to train. Write and maintain the bring-up checklist and run it on every new build.
 * Debug & triage: Isolate failures across hardware, firmware and software, and route them to the right owner with evidence. Use scopes, logic analysers, protocol analysers, JTAG and on-die telemetry to localise root cause.
 * Lab ownership: Build and maintain test setups, fixtures and instrumentation. Automate repetitive measurement and data collection so results are reproducible across boards and builds.
 * Characterisation: Run margin, shmoo and corner testing on power rails, clocks and high-speed interfaces. Feed measured data back to SI, PI, power and design teams.
 * Cross-functional: Work closely with design, firmware, validation and manufacturing. Support board respins with clear failure analysis, and hand off stable platforms to validation and production test.
