AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance.
We're looking for a Director of Test Engineering to develop and industrialize the test solutions required to support OLIX's next-generation AI computing solution. You'll own manufacturing test strategy, test architecture, equipment, automation, and test processes across component, subsystem, and final product test, ensuring scalable test capability that meets quality, coverage, cycle time, and cost objectives from NPI through high-volume manufacturing.
Develop manufacturing test strategy: Define the end-to-end manufacturing test strategy, architecture, coverage, and requirements across component, subsystem, and final product test.
Develop and qualify test solutions: Design, integrate, validate, and qualify test equipment, fixtures, instrumentation, software, and automation required for production.
Deliver production test readiness: Partner with Engineering, NPI, Quality, Industrial Engineering, and manufacturing partners to develop test processes and ensure test capability is ready for manufacturing launch.
Optimize test performance: Improve test coverage, repeatability, throughput, cycle time, yield, and cost while reducing false failures and unnecessary test content.
Scale test manufacturing capability: Deploy, qualify, and sustain test solutions with manufacturing partners to support production ramp and high-volume manufacturing.
Due to U.S. export control regulations, candidates’ eligibility to work at OLIX depends on their most recent citizenship or permanent residency status. We are generally unable to consider applicants whose most recent citizenship or permanent residence is in certain restricted countries (currently including Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Venezuela). Applicants who have subsequently obtained citizenship or permanent residency in another country not subject to these restrictions may still be eligible.
The latest generation of AI models achieve breakthrough performance by using vastly more tokens to solve complex problems. As frontier models become more sophisticated, demand is compounding faster than today’s infrastructure can scale.
Even the most dominant players, with full-stack control across silicon, software, and supply chains, are unable to solve this within the existing architecture. Inherent constraints in physical design and packaging mean a GPU-based approach is incapable of simultaneously delivering high throughput and high interactivity at low cost. Continuing AI’s advance and making it available to everyone requires a new compute paradigm. One that can overcome the fundamental limits of memory, energy, and speed that define today’s systems.
If you like working on difficult and consequential problems, we want you at OLIX. We have offices in London, Austin, Toronto, and Bristol.
