Thermal, Current Limits & Mitigation Validation Engineer – Oryon Server CPUs

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 6+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 5+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. We are looking for a senior validation engineer to own thermal, current, and power-limit behavior validation for Oryon server-class CPUs, ensuring robust protection, mitigation, and performance stability from first silicon through production. 12-20 years of experience in thermal, power, or system validation for CPUs/SoCs Strong understanding of thermal dynamics, current limits, DVFS, and protection mechanisms Hands-on experience with post-silicon lab validation and instrumentation Ability to debug HW-FW interactions related to mitigation and protection flows Impact: Ensure Oryon server CPUs operate safely, predictably, and efficiently under real-world thermal and power stress, enabling reliable performance at scale. Validate thermal, current, and power limit mechanisms across CPU cores, uncore, and SoC domains Own validation of mitigation flows: throttling, DVFS, clock gating, power gating, and emergency responses Stress and characterize CPUs under worst-case workloads, corners, and environmental conditions Debug issues involving thermal sensors, current monitors, limit enforcement, and firmware policies Correlate behavior across emulation, lab silicon, and system platforms Partner with Firmware, PnP, PD, Systems, and Reliability teams to close issues and tune guardbands Support ES bring-up, stepping qualification, and production sign-off
