About the job
Job Duties
- Post silicon validation of Cerebras Wafer Scale Engines. Test and debug issues on new silicon.
- Test, analyze, and characterize high-speed serial interfaces to verify compliance with hardware specifications, record performance data, and recommend design modifications to optimize functionality.
- Work with the silicon and operations team to test, bring-up and run burn-in on wafer scale systems.
- Support manufacturing operations to utilize the wafer bring up flow. Perform wafer bring-ups, diagnose and debug problems encountered.
- Develop and implement hardware to ensure compliance with design specifications.
- Collaborate with hardware design engineers and system software engineers to review specifications and to recommend changes that will improve the quality and verifiability of the hardware designs.
- Create and maintain automated regression test scripts, using Python and/or bash, that ensure that all tests are run and pass after each change to the design, testbench, tests, or reference model.
- Work with system team members to diagnose system related failures. Understand the key system interfaces to FPGA’s, power and cooling, and apply that knowledge to the debug of silicon features.
- Development of debug tools in Python to program and analyze the behavior of the Wafer Scale Engine.
- Development of wafer bring up flow utilizing Python and shell scripts to capture the steps required to bring up a wafer in a logical easy to use flow.
- Documentation of issues found, tools and flow.
