GPU System Reliability Engineer Lead

The role

You will own the end-to-end RAS validation strategy for GPU server systems. This involves working with GPU and HBM silicon partners to analyze failures and ensure detection and recovery mechanisms function correctly.

What you will do

• Lead RAS validation strategy and execution for GPU server platforms
• Partner with GPU system designers to analyze hardware failures and review silicon errata
• Characterize fault propagation paths from hardware detection through firmware and OS layers
• Validate BMC and out-of-band management visibility via IPMI, Redfish, and MCTP/PLDM protocols
• Debug complex failure modes spanning GPU, CPU, memory subsystems, and PCIe/NVLink fabric
• Drive root-cause analysis for RAS failures and provide input on platform design decisions
• Define RAS coverage metrics and maintain traceability from hardware fault models to test coverage
• Collaborate with firmware, software, and platform teams to validate OS-level error handling

Required qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• 5+ years of experience in hardware validation, platform reliability engineering, or silicon validation on server-class compute systems
• Deep understanding of CPU and GPU architecture, including memory subsystems (DDR, HBM), cache hierarchies, and interconnect fabrics (PCIe, NVLink, XGMI)
• Strong knowledge of RAS concepts: error detection and correction (ECC), fault containment, error propagation, machine check architecture (MCA/MCI), and recovery mechanisms
• Hands-on experience with fault injection methodologies at hardware, firmware, and software levels
• Familiarity with system management interfaces including BMC, IPMI, Redfish, and MCTP/PLDM
• Experience working directly with silicon vendors or ODM partners on hardware failure analysis and RAS gap closure
• Strong scripting skills in Python or equivalent for test automation and log analysis

Benefits

• Equity in Cowboy Space Corp.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and eligible dependents
• 401(k) retirement savings plan
• Paid time off
• 10 paid holidays per calendar year
• Paid parental leave
• Relocation assistance if applicable
• Daily lunch in the office
• Fully stocked kitchen with beverages and snacks
