About the role
Role:
Software Validation Engineer - ASIC Skills & Description: We are seeking a versatile and independent C++ Software Engineer to join the AI Infrastructure Silicon Validation team. This role focuses on writing robust software to test, validate, and stress-test AI infrastructure platforms. You will use your strong Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) foundation to build validation applications, integrate with hardware vendor SDKs (including NVIDIA CUDA), and independently deliver reliable testing code.
Key Responsibilities:
Write Validation Software: Design, implement, and maintain test applications in C++ to validate the performance and correctness of AI infrastructure. SDK & API Integration: Successfully integrate and utilize third-party SDKs and low-level APIs, specifically including CUDA, to interact with compute hardware. Apply Clean OOP Principles: Build reusable, modular, and easily maintainable validation frameworks using proper modern object-oriented design patterns. Independent Execution: Take ownership of assigned validation features from technical requirements through to delivery, debugging, and documentation with minimal supervision. Test & Debug: Identify software bugs, memory issues, and api integration edge cases in a Linux-based engineering environment.
Required:
Technical Skills Strong C++ & OOP: Solid proficiency in core C++ (including modern standards like C++14/C++17) with a deep understanding of classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and memory management. API/SDK Experience: Demonstrated ability to read documentation, pick up new technical SDKs quickly, and implement them - specifically CUDA APIs. Proficiency with POSIX Multi-threading - Linux Environment: Comfortable developing, compiling (e.g., CMake/Make), and running applications in a standard Linux environment. Independent Problem Solver: Proven track record of working autonomously to complete coding tasks, write clean test code and troubleshoot issues.
Desired Experience:
Experience writing unit tests or automated validation suites. Basic familiarity with multi-threaded programming or concurrent execution concepts. Familiarity with Python for basic scripting or test automation wrappers. 6+ years of hands-on experience working in complex (preferably) HW-SW projects with tight schedules.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
