Etched Test Design Engineer responsible for owning the overall test strategy and test systems for AI hardware products from silicon bring-up through production. Leads test strategy, coverage, gating, diagnostics, and failure triage across hardware, firmware, and software.

Responsibilities

Define and own the overall test strategy and coverage map across silicon, firmware, board, server, and rack levels, from EVT/DVT/PVT validation through production.
Design the test systems and frameworks that carry out that strategy: how tests are structured, versioned, gated, and run across the lab and the factory.
Review test plans from domain teams at each build phase, find coverage gaps and unnecessary duplication, and balance coverage against test time.
Build regression gating so changes to firmware, drivers, and test packages are validated on representative hardware before they ship.
Define pass/fail criteria, retest policies, and diagnostics, and work with Production to turn them into clear procedures.
Lead technical triage of failures that cross hardware, firmware, and software: read logs, reproduce issues, isolate root cause, and drive corrective actions with domain engineers.
Turn repeated failures into better tests, upstream screening, and diagnostics.
Partner with Test Infrastructure and our manufacturing partners to bring the strategy into production, including travel to Taiwan.
