Responsibilities
Analyze large-scale hardware telemetry including power rails, thermal sensors, Power Silicon and SoC counters and performance logs, and stress-test measurements etc
Apply statistical modeling and ML techniques to identify anomalies, drift, hardware degradation patterns, and emerging failure signatures
Develop feature extraction pipelines tailored to silicon behavior—examples: rate-of-change of thermal zones, correlation of voltage droops with workload transitions, PMU-based bottleneck signatures
Build predictive models that estimate performance/power deviations, reliability risks, or stress-induced failures
Create clear, high-signal visualizations (e.g., multi-axis time-series overlays, workload-power envelopes, thermal gradients, event timelines) to support hardware debug and performance analysis
Automate root-cause discovery workflows using statistical correlations, temporal pattern detection, clustering of abnormal runs, and hardware-aware signal decomposition
Work closely with silicon design, system validation, and performance engineering teams to turn data insights into actionable design or validation recommendations
Continuously refine modeling and feature engineering methods as new hardware blocks, sensors, counters, and test modes become available
Data Extraction, Parsing and Storage own the pipeline for extraction and and storage into Databases and the structure and
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, or Computer Science, with 5+ years of experience working with Data Analysis
Strong foundation in Multivariate statistical analysis, Hypothesis testing and experimental design, Time-series modeling (ARIMA, LSTM/GRU), Anomaly detection (Isolation Forest, HDBSCAN, PCA/ICA, etc). Ability to handle asynchronous, high-frequency hardware telemetry and remove jitter, outliers, and measurement noise
Expert Python skills (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Scikit-learn, Matplotlib, Plotly). Ability to write clean, reproducible analytical scripts for large datasets. Strong SQL and experience working with instrumentation data, structured log stores, or validation data warehouses
Ability to produce high-quality, engineering-oriented data visualizations that reveal trends, anomalies, and causal relationships. Must be comfortable creating custom plots and interactive exploratory visualizations using Python and other analytical tools
Preferred
Experience with dashboard platforms (Grafana, InfluxDB, Plotly Dash, Tableau)
Familiarity with test automation data, debug logs, or hardware lab measurement tools
Experience in product validation, reliability, performance characterization, or silicon bring-up
