Job Description:

Job Family Definition

HPE is seeking a Silicon Validation Engineer to support the validation of HPE Slingshot™ ASIC products.

HPE Slingshot is a high‑performance networking interconnect for HPC and AI clusters, delivering industry‑leading bandwidth, low latency, and scalability for demanding workloads.

Slingshot implements Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) capabilities and is aligned with the Ultra Ethernet standard, enabling next‑generation Ethernet semantics optimized for HPC and AI at scale.

This position is a self‑sufficient individual contributor responsible for developing and executing chip‑level validation tests, with a primary focus on emulator‑based and system‑level testing.

The engineer works closely with senior validation engineers, architecture, design, and software teams to validate ASIC functionality, identify defects, and improve test coverage across multiple product generations.

Job Level Definition

Applies solid to advanced subject matter knowledge in silicon validation to solve moderately complex technical problems.

Works independently on assigned validation areas and test development, while receiving technical direction on broader validation strategy and priorities.

Contributes to cross‑functional project teams and demonstrates sound judgment in selecting methods and techniques to achieve objectives.

Location

Prefer candidates to have hybrid attendance at a physical HPE site.

US‑based, fully remote employment negotiable.

Responsibilities


* Develop, execute, and maintain chip‑level validation tests for HPE Slingshot NIC and switch ASICs, primarily using emulator‑based environments.


* Create object‑oriented Python test infrastructure and test cases that operate at the operating‑system and system‑integration level.


* Validate both HPE Slingshot-specific functionality and industry‑standard networking protocols.


* Debug functional, performance, and reliability issues uncovered during silicon validation, working closely with design, architecture, firmware, and software teams.


* Contribute to validation plan...
