Meta(Meta Platforms)岗位:Technical Lead Engineer — Network Validation & Characterization Responsibilities
Own the end-to-end validation and characterization strategy for Meta custom silicon programs in your domain, from pre-silicon emulation through post-silicon bring-up and PVT characterization
Define the test plan: measurement and benchmarking methodology, instrumentation, functional and performance coverage, corner coverage across process/voltage/temperature, and pass/fail criteria
Establish and document best practices for measurement rigor, accuracy, and correlation across bench, emulation, and ATE/production data
Drive validation of domain feature sets (power or networking) on emulation platforms pre-silicon and on real silicon post-silicon
Review schematics, power delivery networks, high-speed interface designs, and board/platform configurations with hardware and design teams; provide early design and debuggability inputs
Write and review automation and analysis code that scales characterization from a single bench to many units in the lab
Lead debug of complex cross-stack issues — silicon, firmware, driver, board, thermal, and fabric/switch layers — and drive root cause to closure with design, software, hardware, ODM, and vendor partners
Provide technical guidance and planning for a team of validation engineers; mentor engineers and improve standards for data quality and rigor
Partner with manufacturing, production, and data center teams to transfer characterization learnings into production screens and fleet health monitoring
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
12+ years of relevant industry experience
Demonstrated hands-on validation and characterization experience on complex ASICs, SoCs, NICs, or high-speed interfaces
Proven experience with PVT (Process / Voltage / Temperature) characterization
Ability to read and reason about schematics and either power delivery networks or high-speed interface implementations
Proficiency in Python for test development, lab automation, and/or data analysis
Hands-on lab experience with domain-relevant instrumentation
Preferred Qualifications
Experience taking a custom NIC or networking ASIC from first silicon through high-volume production
Experience working directly with ODMs and silicon/IP vendors
Hands-on lab experience with domain-relevant instrumentation for Networking - traffic generators, protocol analyzers, high-speed scopes/BERTs, optics and cabling, switches;
plus
RDMA (RoCE and/or InfiniBand) at the protocol and debug level, Ethernet performance tooling (iperf, netperf, packet capture and analysis), and both front-end and back-end NICs and their differing traffic and scaling models
Experience with Linux networking internals, kernel/userspace drivers, and DPDK or verbs-level programming
Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
Familiarity with SerDes tuning, link margining, FEC, and errata characterization
Experience building large-scale lab automation frameworks and characterization data pipelines
Experience with AI/HPC back-end fabrics and collective communication traffic patterns
