Job description

The era of pervasive AI has arrived. In this era, organizations will use generative AI to unlock hidden value in their data, accelerate processes, reduce costs, drive efficiency and innovation to fundamentally transform their businesses and operations at scale.

SambaNova Suite™ is the first full-stack, generative AI platform, from chip to model, optimized for enterprise and government organizations. Powered by the intelligent SN40L chip, the SambaNova Suite is a fully integrated platform, delivered on-premises or in the cloud, combined with state-of-the-art open-source models that can be easily and securely fine-tuned using customer data for greater accuracy. Once adapted with customer data, customers retain model ownership in perpetuity, so they can turn generative AI into one of their most valuable assets.

About the Role

SambaNova Systems is redefining what’s possible in AI infrastructure—and the hardware that powers it has to be flawless. As a Senior Hardware Validation & SI Correlation Engineer, you will own the technical bridge between simulation and silicon, ensuring that every high-speed link, control bus, and power rail in our next-generation AI server systems performs without compromise.

This is a high-impact, highly visible role that blends deep Signal Integrity (SI) expertise with rigorous system-level hardware validation. You will work at the frontier of AI compute—validating PCIe Gen5/6, DDR5, and 112G/224G Ethernet interfaces on systems pushing the limits of what data center hardware can do. If you thrive in a fast-paced lab environment, love digging into root cause, and want your work to directly accelerate the future of AI, this role is built for you.
