Failure Analysis & System Validation Engineer

About the Role

As a Failure Analysis Engineer in Product Quality Organization, you will play a critical role in failure analysis across cutting-edge semiconductor products. This position is ideal for someone with a strong background in Post Silicon Validation, Failure Analysis, Platform level Debug who can apply deep technical insight to identify, isolate, and resolve complex issues in silicon and system-level environments. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including design, validation, FW, and manufacturing to drive root cause analysis and corrective actions. Your contributions will directly impact product quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

The Person

We're looking for a skilled engineer with strong technical and analytical expertise in Component Debug, Power Management, PCIe, and Memory Validation. The ideal candidate thrives in both collaborative team settings and independent work, with the ability to define goals, manage development efforts, and deliver high-quality solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Bring up Server Platforms, Develop and execute DOE's to reproduce and isolate failures, Identify and help resolve quality issues.
• Develop Automation and tools to run tests and analyze results/logs.
• Perform debug and drive root cause analysis across silicon, system and Rack-level issues
• Collaborate with Customer Quality Engineers (CQE), design and validation teams to identify root causes for hardware and firmware issues.
• Further, partner with Product Line Quality (PLQ)/Test teams to implement corrective actions and improve test capability.
• Own end to end FA, Document findings, Analyze and present Data and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives. Create Failure Analysis reports.
• Participate in NPI of Future products, Oversee the set-up of new products and test stations for Failure Analysis operations.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in CPU/GPU Architecture, debug/validation, stress or functional test development.
• Experience in Debugging complex Software/Hardware/FW related Fails from new product introduction (NPI) through production.
• Experience working with High-speed server Interfaces such as PCIe, Memory and UPI. Ability to understand and debug PCIe and Memory related Failures.
• Strong Programming experience with Python, shell script, or similar, Windows and Linux OS.
