Graphcore, a globally recognized leader in AI computing systems and member of the SoftBank Group, is opening a new AI Engineering Campus in Bengaluru. This role is part of a multi-level hiring initiative for Bring-Up and Characterization Engineers.
You will work cross-functionally with Architecture, Silicon Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Operations, and Product teams to create and execute bring-up and characterization plans for cutting-edge silicon devices and system platforms. Your focus will be on demonstrating that silicon devices operate correctly across all conditions in final products through automated and manual testing in lab and datacenter environments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Understand silicon device and system architecture, documenting characterization requirements
- Create product-specific characterization plans
- Liaise with engineering teams to identify available tests and drive improvements
- Build and maintain automated systems for running characterization tests, capturing results to central databases, and performing data analysis
- Execute manual characterization tests where automation is inappropriate
- Report regularly on progress and issues during characterization phases
- Produce comprehensive characterization reports with platform test results for product documentation
The role requires developing deep technical understanding of Graphcore's silicon processors and high-power, high-speed blade systems at the forefront of AI technology. Results will be integrated with data from other teams to provide complete characterization solutions.
Requirements:
- Proven track record of delivering technical output as an individual contributor, manager, or project manager
- Solid experience and understanding of silicon digital device design characterization
- Knowledge of silicon process technology and its impact on device performance at transistor and system levels
- Knowledge of high-performance processor and system-on-chip systems
- Experience with high-speed digital interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR)
- Knowledge of measurement automation and data analysis
- Ability to code or script automation and data analysis using languages such as Python or JMP
- Ability to work independently without daily oversight
Desirable Skills:
- Knowledge of PCBA and system-level technologies
- Background knowledge of ATE (Automated Test Equipment) systems and capabilities
