About The Position

HPE is seeking a Senior Silicon Validation Engineer to help validate the functionality of HPE Slingshot ASIC products. HPE Slingshot is a modern high-performance interconnect for HPC and AI clusters that delivers industry leading performance, bandwidth, and low latency for HPC, AI/ML, and data analytics applications. Including multiple generations of both air and fully liquid cooled switch and NIC products, it serves as the interconnect of choice for the worlds faster supercomputers, including the top three systems on the top500.org list. This position will be an individual contributor, as well as team lead, responsible for developing object oriented Python tests for full chip-level emulation testing of a high performance computing network interconnect chips. It requires strong leadership in test development, a deep understanding of chip architecture, and the ability to recognize and adapt to generational changes in technology. A major area of responsibility is identifying the highest risk areas to ensure that silicon validation is testing gaps not covered by architecture simulations or pre-silicon verification. This position will work directly with management to facilitate resource allocation and project schedules.
