Staff Test Engineer

We are seeking an experienced AI Software Stack Test Lead to define, drive, and execute validation strategy for a next-generation AI computational storage platform. This role owns end-to-end verification of the AI software stack, including neural network operators, compiler-generated workloads, runtime execution, memory management, scheduling systems, and model-level performance.

The ideal candidate combines strong software validation expertise with deep knowledge of AI/ML execution pipelines and will lead validation efforts across compiler, runtime, kernel, and hardware teams to ensure correctness, scalability, reliability, and performance.

Key Responsibilities

Validation Strategy & Technical Leadership

• Own and define the end-to-end validation strategy for the AI software stack.
• Establish validation methodologies, coverage metrics, quality gates, and release-readiness criteria.
• Lead validation efforts across operator libraries, runtime systems, execution frameworks, and AI workloads.
• Mentor engineers and drive best practices for automation, performance validation, and debugging.

Functional Validation

• Validate neural network operators and compute kernels
• Validate graph-level execution and end-to-end model inference workflows.
• Verify numerical correctness against reference frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Ensure behavioral consistency across software releases and hardware revisions.

Runtime & Execution Validation

• Validate memory allocation and movement across host and device environments.
• Execute stress, concurrency, and multi-device validation scenarios.

Performance & Scalability Validation

• Design and maintain benchmarking frameworks for:
  • Operator-level performance
  • Model-level performance
  • Latency and throughput
  • Time-to-first-token/result
  • Multi-device scaling efficiency Qualifications

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in AI software validation, systems software validation, performance engineering, or related areas.
• Strong C++ software development expertise.
• Strong Object-Oriented Programming fundamentals.
• Advanced Python programming for automation and test infrastructure.
• Deep understanding of:
  • AI/ML execution pipelines
  • Neural network operators
  • Deep learning frameworks (PyTorch preferred)
  • Runtime architectures
  • Scheduling systems
  • Parallel execution models
  • Memory hierarchy and DMA concepts
• Experience validating large-scale AI workloads and inference systems.
• Proven experience building automated test and benchmarking frameworks.
• Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with MLIR, XLA, StableHLO, TVM, ONNX Runtime, TensorRT, or similar compiler/runtime stacks.
• Experience validating GPU, NPU, FPGA, or custom accelerator platforms.
• Hands-on experience with profiling tools such as: VTune, Nsight Systems, Nsight Compute, perf, gprof
• Experience with distributed inference and multi-device execution.
• Familiarity with LLM, multimodal, and generative AI workloads.
• Experience leading software quality and validation teams.
