Key job responsibilities
Own and evolve the software that speeds up structural scan (DFT) test execution across a large fleet of ML accelerator servers
Design and deliver improvements to the tools and workflows used to bring new scan test patterns to production, from architecture through deployment
Build data analytics and dashboards that track test pattern execution across the fleet
Automate silicon debug and large-scale investigation workflows
Partner with the teams that run and validate scan testing at scale, turning their needs into maintainable, tested, reusable software
Mentor early-career engineers and raise the bar through design discussions and thorough, but kind, code reviews
A day in the life
As an SDE II on the team, you’ll own problems end to end—designing the solution, writing the code, testing it against real hardware, and shipping it to a fleet. One day you might be profiling scan execution to shave seconds off a test that runs across thousands of machines; another day you might be building a dashboard that shows how a new test pattern is behaving across the fleet, or automating complex silicon investigations. No software is too low level for us. No software is too high level for us. You’ll work alongside senior engineers deep in silicon test, and help early-career engineers on the team grow through your designs and code reviews.
