Cerebras builds the Wafer Scale Engine, a processor the size of a dinner plate designed to train and run very large AI models without the constraints of stringing together many GPUs. Before one of those systems ships, it has to be configured, tested and proved to work. That is this job. You would run and improve the manufacturing bring-up process, troubleshoot problems that surface across ASIC, software and QA domains, and write the automation that lets the process scale as production grows. The posting asks for scripting in Python or Perl and experience debugging complex hardware systems, and it is explicit that the role is highly visible because it sits directly between manufacturing and the customer. For electronics, instrumentation and computer engineering graduates, this is a genuine hardware career path rather than a software job with hardware nearby. Who it is for: What the posting asks for: a BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent work experience. 3 or more years of industry experience in an operations environment. Experience in hardware bring-up and debug of complex systems. Working knowledge of ASIC bring-up and test processes. Working knowledge of scripting in languages such as Python or Perl. Proven experience in system bring-up and validation of complex computer systems or equivalent. An understanding of computer system architecture and hardware components. Proficiency with scripting and automation tools for system bring-up. Strong problem solving and communication skills, and strong coordination skills, which the posting stresses because the workflow is business critical and tied to customer demand. Preferred: familiarity with creating test and software infrastructure at large scale, and comfort working across global time zones. The actual day to day: supporting the bring-up process that configures, tests and validates system performance before customer shipment. Working across ASIC, software, diagnostics and QA teams to automate and streamline that workflow. Troubleshooting technical issues during system bring-up. Designing processes to track bring-up status and progress. Reporting on bring-up metrics. Adding software automation so the process scales with the manufacturing roadmap. Location and office reality: the posting lists Bangalore, India alongside Toronto, Canada and Sunnyvale, California as locations for the role. Cerebras publishes its India roles under a single India Office location label on its job board. Honest fit guidance: this is one of the few roles on this board aimed at hardware and systems people rather than application developers. If you studied electronics or worked in hardware validation, test or manufacturing engineering, three years is a realistic entry point here. If you are a pure software engineer with no hardware bring-up exposure, the ASIC and debug requirements are the real gate. .
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
