Embodiments are generally directed to pressure and load measurement for silicon die thermal solution attachment. An embodiment of a calibration machine includes: a base; a first post and a second post, a first end of each of the posts being coupled with the base; a set of fixtures, a first fixture being coupled with the first post and second post and a second fixture being moveable coupled with the first post and the second post; an actuator, the actuator being coupled with the first fixture and being operable to provide force on the second fixture; a load cell coupled with the base; and one or more calibration stages on the load cell and below the set of fixtures.
