GPU platform validation: GPU driver installation, GPU enumeration, firmware compatibility and PCIe validation (topology and link checks) on data center GPUs.
Workload and system validation: Functional, regression, stress and workload testing, including thermal, power, GPU utilization and memory validation.
Server platform and BIOS validation: Bringing up and validating data center servers (Dell PowerEdge / Supermicro / HPE), including BIOS setup and validation.
Firmware, BMC and driver validation: Validating BMC, firmware and drivers, including firmware version pairing and upgrade/downgrade paths.
Hardware troubleshooting and root cause analysis: In-depth debugging of hardware, firmware and driver failures during bring-up and validation, such as boot/POST hangs, reset failures and enumeration issues.
AI/HPC workload validation and characterization: Running and analyzing AI/HPC workloads, and measuring performance and stability.
Linux and CLI skills: Hands-on with Ubuntu and RHEL,
including OS installation and imaging, driver setup and command-line tools for system and GPU diagnostics.
Log analysis and automation: Analyzing system, BMC and driver logs, running Python scripts and reviewing automation results.
Availability: Flexibility to work weekends and extended hours when needed during critical release validation phases.
Nice-to-Have Secondary Skills
Test planning: Writing test cases, test plans and coverage matrices for hardware, firmware, IP blocks and drivers.
Multi-GPU and networking validation: Running collective communication benchmarks across multiple GPUs and nodes and validating high-speed NICs and RDMA.
Virtualization: VMware ESXi, GPU passthrough and GPU partitioning.
Scripting: Basic Python or shell scripting to automate tests and parse logs.
Tools: Experience with Jira for test management and defect tracking.
