Key responsibilities:ODM / OEM System Integration Support
• Act as the primary technical point of contact for ODM partners adopting Axelera PCIe accelerator cards, M.2 modules, and AI SBCs into their systems.
• Guide partners through hardware integration: compatibility, power budget, cooling, mechanical clearances, and BIOS/firmware settings.
• Support partner bring-up: OS/driver installation, Voyager SDK deployment, and first-inference validation on customer platforms.
• Produce and maintain integration guides, application notes, and FAQs tailored to key ODM accounts.
Contract Manufacturer (CM) NPI & Production Support
• Provide on-site or remote support to CMs during Mass Production Introduction (MPI) phases, including first-article inspection and pilot-run reviews.
• Review and validate CM production test procedures against Axelera ATE/ICT requirements; escalate deviations to the AIS engineering team.
• Own in-field production defect triage: collect failure evidence, replicate issues on bench, and drive root-cause analysis in collaboration with R&D engineers.
• Maintain a defect log and track corrective/preventive actions (CAPA) through to closure.
Supplier Technical Interface
• Coordinate with power component suppliers (DCDC converters, PMUs, DDR, passive components) on qualification questions and field-reported anomalies.
• Perform bench characterisation of power-related issues (efficiency, regulation, transient response) and communicate findings to internal power integrity engineers.
• Support BOM change evaluations for sourced alternatives, providing electrical equivalency data to the AIS team.
Component & Design Qualification
• Contribute to the qualification of new components (power ICs, passives, memory, connectors) for Axelera in-house hardware products, leveraging proximity to the Taiwan supply chain and key component manufacturers.
• Evaluate pin-compatible or functionally equivalent alternatives proposed during BOM reviews or component end-of-life transitions; provide electrical characterisation data and board-level validation results to the AIS design team.
• Support design verification activities for new PCB revisions or new product introductions: perform bring-up, functional testing, and regression against previous hardware baselines.
• Act as the local technical interface with design partners or EMS providers during engineering prototype builds (EVT/DVT), collecting build feedback and coordinating issue resolution with Axelera HW engineers.
• Document qualification outcomes, test reports, and design deviation assessments in Axelera’s PLM/document control system.
