About Xsight Labs
Xsight Labs is building the open, programmable silicon that powers cloud and AI infrastructure. Our X-Series Ethernet switches deliver 12.8 Tbps at sub-700ns latency on an open ISA. Our E1 DPU runs 800 Gbps with 64 Arm cores in the data path. Both are in production today, with deployments at operators building modern infrastructure. We're a fabless team in Kiryat Gat, Boston, Raleigh-Durham, and the Bay Area.
Our teams are located and operate globally in Israel, the US, Europe, and Asia.
Description
About the Role
Xsight Labs is looking for motivated and talented Junior Switch System Validation Engineers to join our growing System Validation team.

What You'll Do
- Develop and execute validation plans for advanced switch products.
- Design, implement, and maintain automated validation tests.
- Validate system functionality throughout the product lifecycle, from pre-silicon environments through post-silicon system bring-up and qualification.
- Analyze system behavior and investigate hardware and software issues.
- Debug and troubleshoot failures across validation environments, system components, and platforms, including simulation, emulation, and silicon-based systems.
- Work closely with hardware, software, architecture, and chip design teams to reproduce, isolate, and resolve complex technical issues.
- Develop tools and systems to improve validation efficiency, automation, and coverage.
- Participate in product bring-up, feature validation, regression testing, and release qualification.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment.
- Why Join Us?
- Be part of a team developing cutting-edge networking technologies.
- Work alongside experienced engineers and industry experts.
- Gain hands-on experience with validation throughout the entire product lifecycle, from pre-silicon simulation and emulation to post-silicon system validation.
- Work on technologies that make a real-world impact, from hyperscale AI infrastructure on Earth to advanced satellite systems already operating in space.
- Grow your technical skills and career in an innovative and collaborative company culture.
