Experience: 5+ Years
Seekiing- Post-Validation Engineer with experince in knowledge of the full validation lifecycle from RTL simulation (SystemVerilog/UVM, VCS, Questa, Xcelium) and emulation (Palladium, Zebu, Veloce) through silicon failure analysis and debug.
What You'll Be Doing:
As a Senior Validation Engineer on our Machine Learning Acceleration team to work from early design validation through emulation, silicon bring-up, post-silicon validation, and ongoing support of production systems deployed in AWS data centers. You'll collaborate deeply with architecture, RTL design, design verification, firmware, and software teams to ensure our next-generation AI/ML accelerators meet the highest standards of quality and performance. This role requires bridging multiple domains and broad scope of impact from low-level hardware interfaces to high-level ML workloads to deliver exceptional results.
A day in the life:
- Developing comprehensive validation strategies and leads new methodologies to improve validation coverage and time to root cause.
- Role models detailed test plans covering functional, performance, power, and stress testing from silicon bring-up to product release
- Mentors and provides direction to junior validation engineers
- Executes complex test plans from RTL simulation and emulation environments through physical silicon validation
- Handing complex debug including hands-on silicon bring-up and debug in the lab using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers
- Validating ML accelerator performance, accuracy, and reliability using real-world neural network workloads
- Building test infrastructure, CI/CD, and automated regression frameworks to enable efficient validation at scale
- Collaborating across architecture, design, firmware, and software teams to triage failures and drive root cause analysis to closure
- Reviewing test results, identifying patterns, and providing feedback to improve design quality and validation coverage
- Delivering new tests to production systems in AWS data centers and manufacturing to improve fleet health
