Senior Bring up and Characterization Engineer

Overview

Create and execute bring-up and characterisation plans for Graphcore's silicon devices and system platforms, working with architecture, silicon, hardware, operations and product teams to show the products operate correctly over all conditions.

What you'll do

• Understand the architecture and design of silicon devices and systems, and clearly document the requirements for characterisation
• Create product-specific characterisation plans
• Liaise with engineering teams to understand which tests are available for characterisation purposes and drive change where appropriate
• Create and maintain an automated system for running characterisation testing, capturing results to a central database and performing data analysis
• Execute manual characterisation tests where automation is not appropriate
• Report regularly on progress and issues during characterisation
• Produce characterisation reports containing platform test results and feed them into the overall product characterisation report

What you'll need

• A proven track record of delivering technical output, perhaps as an individual contributor, manager, or project manager
• Solid experience and understanding of silicon digital device design characterisation
• Knowledge of silicon process technology and how it impacts device performance at transistor and system level
• Knowledge of high-performance processor and system-on-chip systems
• Experience of high-speed digital interfaces, such as PCIe, Ethernet or DDR
• Knowledge of measurement automation and data analysis
• The ability to code or script automation and data analysis using appropriate languages such as Python, or JMP
• An ability to work independently without daily oversight

Nice to have

• Knowledge of PCBA and system level technologies
• Background knowledge of ATE systems and capabilities, as some characterisation work will be performed on such systems although you will not be directly involved with such testing
