> Technical leader owning compute qualification, first-silicon and new-platform validation, test automation, and root-cause failure analysis for AI compute infrastructure. Requires senior hardware validation or systems engineering experience with early hardware qualification and automation ownership.

## Job Description

## Role Scope

- Own the hardest qualifications yourself: first silicon, new platforms, and the failures nobody can explain.
- Build the automation: test harnesses and data pipelines that multiply the lab's throughput.
- Represent Labs to vendors and the fleet: the technical voice on what's ready and what isn't.

## Requirements
- Been the senior technical voice in hardware validation or systems engineering.
- Qualified early hardware, engineering samples or first-run systems, and shipped the findings.
- Built test automation others still use.
- Failure analyses go to root cause, not to plausible.
- Mentor engineers up the debugging stack.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Accelerator architecture depth.
- Signal and power integrity exposure.
- Large-scale burn-in design.
- Vendor engineering relationships.
