System Validation Engineer Intern

Astera Labs · San Jose, CA · Internship · On-site

Astera Labs builds connectivity solutions that help power modern AI infrastructure. Our System Validation teams verify that released features work reliably across hardware, firmware, software, and real-world use cases before products are deployed and handed to customers.

Join the System Validation team and help validate complete systems after silicon and electrical validation. You’ll learn how to turn product requirements and release information into system-level test scenarios, execute tests on devices and platforms, investigate issues, and provide the evidence needed for release, interoperability, and compliance decisions.

This internship is designed for someone who enjoys working across layers of a system: understanding the architecture, setting up a device under test, running a functional or stress scenario, analyzing logs and traces, isolating a failure, and communicating what should happen next. You’ll collaborate with firmware, hardware, Electrical Validation, SQA, Product Applications, InterOp, compliance, and other engineering teams.

• Learn the product architecture, project framework, validation tools, test environment, firmware flows, dashboards, and tracking systems needed to contribute effectively.

• Review product requirements, SQA release notes, firmware builds, specifications, and test plans to understand what must be validated.

• Define or refine system-level test scenarios covering feature functionality, subsystem integration, end-to-end use cases, performance, stress, reliability, and interoperability.

• Prepare test environments and devices under test, including required firmware, hardware, tools, configurations, scripts, and test data.

• Execute test
