Location: Austin
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Design (Product/UX/UI/Visual)

Key Responsibilities

  • •Lead system bring-up and validation of AI scale-up switches from initial power-on through full system validation.
  • •Perform high-speed SerDes and link bring-up, including AN/LT configuration/validation and TX equalization tuning.
  • •Execute link qualification testing using PRBS, Snake traffic loopback, and FEC analysis to validate BER at scale.
  • •Utilize LinkCAT and Broadcom SDK tools to characterize port performance, diagnose link failures, and validate PHY configurations across large port counts.
  • •Integrate and validate server management infrastructure (BMC/IPMI, Redfish API, out-of-band workflows) and build bring-up scripts and test automation in Python; debug and drive failures to root cause across hardware, firmware, and software.

Pay and Benefits

Salary: USD 56,070 - 96,120 annually

Key Requirements

  • •Extensive hands-on experience in hardware bring-up, platform validation, or high-speed networking silicon characterization.
  • •Experience with high-speed switch ASICs (Broadcom TH6/Tomahawk series preferred) and familiarity with Broadcom SDK/DAPI frameworks.
  • •Deep understanding of high-speed Ethernet (400GbE/800GbE) including AN/LT (IEEE 802.3), RS-FEC/KP4-FEC, and PAM4 SerDes technology.
  • •Hands-on experience with PRBS testing, BER measurement, eye diagram analysis, and Snake/loopback traffic validation.
  • •Familiarity with server management protocols including IPMI, Redfish/OpenBMC, KCS, IPMB, and PLDM, with proficiency in Python for automation and data analysis.
