About the job
Cerebras Systems is pioneering the future of artificial intelligence with the world's largest AI chip, which is 56 times larger than traditional GPUs. Our innovative wafer-scale architecture provides unprecedented AI computing power equivalent to dozens of GPUs on a single chip, combined with the ease of programming a single device. This unique approach enables Cerebras to deliver unparalleled training and inference speeds, empowering machine learning practitioners to run extensive ML applications without the complexities of managing numerous GPUs or TPUs.
Cerebras serves a diverse clientele, including leading model labs, major global corporations, and avant-garde AI startups. Recently, OpenAI announced a multi-year partnership with Cerebras, aiming to deploy 750 megawatts of scalable solutions that enhance critical workloads with ultra-high-speed inference.
With our state-of-the-art wafer-scale architecture, Cerebras Inference stands as the world's fastest Generative AI inference solution, boasting speeds over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services. This dramatic improvement in speed is revolutionizing the user experience of AI applications, enabling real-time iterations and augmenting intelligence through advanced agentic computation.
Role Summary
We are in search of a proactive DVT Technical Lead (Individual Contributor) to take ownership and steer the Design Validation Test (DVT) process from start to finish across intricate electrical engineering boards and complete systems. You will be responsible for defining the validation strategy, creating test plans and infrastructure, leading extensive debugging and root-cause analysis (RCA), and ensuring closure through design modifications and re-testing. This role will involve working with complex power delivery technologies, high-speed I/O, and electro-mechanical systems that have thermal, optical, and high-power constraints. People management is not a requirement, although mentoring is encouraged.
What You’ll Own
1) Board / Subassembly DVT (EE-heavy)
- Lead DVT for complex PCBAs and subassemblies from initial power-on through design sign-off.
- Conduct power validation, including power-up/down sequencing, regulator/hotswap behavior, rail margining, DC IR drop, and AC noise/ripple characterization...
