Job Description

Own silicon validation for our AI accelerator end to end. You'll start in emulation and FPGA prototyping before tapeout, bring up first silicon in the lab, and carry it through to production-quality parts in the field. You'll build the validation plans, environments, and automation that prove our silicon works at scale. You'll work closely with architecture, design, firmware, software, and systems teams to find and fix issues wherever they live.
