Technical Lead - System Tests & Diagnostics Engineer
Graphcore · Austin, Texas, United States
About this role
## About Graphcore Graphcore is one of the world’s leading innovators in Artificial Intelligence compute. We develop hardware, software, and systems infrastructure to unlock the next generation of AI breakthroughs and enable widespread adoption of AI solutions across every industry. As part of the SoftBank Group, Graphcore is part of an elite family of companies working toward a bold vision: to enable Artificial Super Intelligence and ensure its benefits are accessible to everyone. ## The Team The team is responsible for developing and applying system-level diagnostics and validation capabilities that help ensure the quality and reliability of Graphcore’s AI computing platforms. Working closely with hardware architects, firmware engineers, validation engineers, and software teams, we build reusable diagnostic software that exercises complete systems and provides the observability needed to understand complex hardware/software interactions. The work spans silicon bring-up, system validation, stress testing, fault isolation, and platform characterization. ## Responsibilities and Duties The **Technical Lead – System Tests & Diagnostics Engineer** will develop, extend, and integrate specialist silicon validation and diagnostic software for Graphcore’s AI computing systems. The role focuses on creating diagnostic and stress-testing capabilities that expose hardware failures, characterize system behavior, and improve platform observability throughout silicon bring-up and validation. You will work across hardware, firmware, and software boundaries, independently leading complex diagnostic development activities and improving tools and methodologies to identify, reproduce, and isolate challenging system-level issues. **Key responsibilities include:** - Design, develop, and extend system-level diagnostic and stress-testing software for Graphcore AI computing platforms. - Develop diagnostic applications covering processors, memory, interconnects, PCIe, storage, networking, and other system components. - Build reusable validation utilities and libraries that integrate with Graphcore’s system validation infrastructure. - Develop tools to identify and characterize intermittent hardware failures, including data integrity issues, timing-related failures, and system instability. - Design configurable diagnostic applications supporting multiple silicon revisions, platforms, and execution environments. - Develop automation for executing diagnostics across server and rack-scale validation environments. - Create configuration-driven diagnostic workflows (details continue in the source text).
