We are seeking a seasoned AI Software Stack Validation Leader to own end-to-end system validation, acceptance, and release readiness of a complex, multi-layer AI software stack spanning frameworks, compilers, runtimes, drivers, firmware, and hardware platforms.

The leader will build and scale a high-impact validation team, architect up-to-date validation infrastructure, and work cross-functionally with architecture, platform, firmware, silicon, and customer engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities :

- Own end-to-end validation strategy for the AI software stack across frameworks, serving layers, compiler and graph transformation layers, runtime, scheduling, memory management, and drivers/firmware/hardware interfaces.
- Define system acceptance criteria that capture correctness, stability, performance, scalability, and regressions across layers.
- Drive left-shifted validation, enabling meaningful coverage well before full hardware.
- Establish formal acceptance test plans and measurable exit criteria for each release milestone.
- Architect scalable validation environments and test frameworks.




- Drive best-in-class practices in automation, regression, stress, scale, and performance validation.
- Influence architecture decisions by providing early validation feedback and system risk assessment.
- Build, mentor, and scale a validation engineering team with deep system understanding.
- Foster a culture of quality, technical rigor, and product ownership.

Qualifications :

- 14+ years of experience in system software, platform validation, or end-to-end software quality engineering.
- Strong hands-on background across multiple layers of the software stack.
- Proven experience defining and owning system acceptance criteria and release decisions.
- Deep expertise in debugging complex cross-layer issues involving software, firmware, and hardware.
- Experience leading and scaling senior technical teams.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate risk, readiness, and trade-offs to senior leadership.
