Has passion to lead and grow with primary responsibilities focused on developing and maintaining scalable and robust automated functional test solutions for manufacturing testing for server-based products. Successful candidate will have a broad SW development and HW test automation background in the Computer/Server related industry with desired emphasis on x86-based or AMD server and storage platforms. Candidate would work with various cross-functional HW & SW Engineering teams including contract manufactures and RMA facilities. A self-starter that is willing to ask questions and raise concerns in timely manner. Can comprehend technical discussions, coach and mentor others as needed. Support and maintain product launch as well as support factory activities with potential of being on-site at factories on a as needed basis. Leverage AI tools and technologies to accelerate and enhance test code development, automate code reviews, streamline debugging processes, and develop solutions for repetitive tasks.
Your Role1. Test Strategy & Planning
- Review and evaluate ODM and partner test plans and strategies, ensuring system integration expectations are met and coverage of major components is achieved.
- Update and provide inputs to test plans that include test-flow details, capacity analysis, equipment requirements, and coverage analysis.
- Apply design-for-test (DFT) concepts and contribute to manufacturing test standards and procedures for server platforms.
2. Test Automation & Infrastructure - Develop, write, modify, and debug automated test solutions to test and validate x86 or AMD server platforms for functional test, including code enhancements to improve throughput.
- Build and maintain scalable automated test infrastructure capable of collecting product genealogy, test records, and test logs, using standard network architecture and database solutions.
- Use Linux and Windows development environments, source-control workflows, and code reviews to deliver reliable test software for manufacturing hardware.
- Use AI tools and technologies, such as Cursor, Claude, Gemini, and Glean, where appropriate to accelerate test-code development, streamline debugging, and improve engineering efficiency.
3. Partner, Vendor & Supply Chain Collaboration - Support productivity and efficiency improvements at Contract Manufacturer and partner sites, and work with vendors to procure, build, and expand testing solutions and infrastructure.
- Develop test solutions that enable Contract Manufacturers to quickly and accurately analyze failures, troubleshoot issues, and support root-cause analysis.
- Able to work with vendors to procure and build and/or expand current testing solutions/infrastructure.
4. Quality Assurance & Root Cause Analysis - Perform root-cause, corrective, and preventive analysis for manufacturing test issues.
- Support product quality through DFT, fishbone diagrams, FMEA analysis, and monitoring of manufacturing, field, and RMA quality data.
5. Operational Excellence & Analytics - Develop data-collection strategies, tools, or dashboards for monitoring test capacity and yields.
- Use automation and analytics tools to generate reports, analyze manufacturing data, and identify actionable opportunities for yield improvement.
- Continuously identify opportunities for test improvements, test-time reductions, on-time delivery, and cost-effective solutions.
6. Cross-Functional Collaboration - Participate in weekly technical meetings such as code sprints and reviews, quality-management meetings, and lifecycle-management meetings.
- Collaborate with HW, SW, Quality, Supply Chain, Contract Manufacturer, and RMA teams to support product introduction, test coverage, and lifecycle activities.
What You Will Bring - BS/MS in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent/related field.
- Prior relevant experience in automation for testing x86 server and storage products, or other networking or hardware-system products.
- 5+ years of direct experience developing software solutions and automation for manufacturing-related production test processes.
- Knowledge of automation software and scripting languages or environments such as Python, C/C++, C#, Perl, TCL, .NET, NI TestStand, and JSON.
- Experience working in Linux and Windows operating-system environments, with a working knowledge of networking concepts.
- Experience with Agile development, JIRA, Confluence, Git, and GitHub.
- Exposure to MySQL, MongoDB, or PostgreSQL; PXE boot ISO creation; REST/SOAP APIs; UI design; and analytics platforms is helpful.
- Hypervisor, virtualization, and containerized-solution knowledge with Docker or Kubernetes is a plus.
Additional Job Requirements - Apply standard software lifecycle practices, including plan, code, build, test, release, deploy, and monitor, for new and existing products.
- Use JIRA projects and storyboards for sprint planning and releases, together with source-control tools such as Git and GitHub and Agile methodologies.
- Maintain a broad test-related background in storage and server products or systems.
- Create software and hardware test solutions that are robust, scalable, consistent, and reliable for large-scale production.
- Ability to distinguish between hardware and software product issues is desirable.
- Coordinate and apply ECOs for firmware, software, and hardware changes.
- Demonstrate strong problem-solving, multitasking, and prioritization skills.
- Support first-level triage for factory test issues and assist with field issues related to Nutanix platforms.
- Demonstrate excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present technical issues and project status to peers, management, and cross-functional teams.
- Ability to work with cross-functional teams to deliver objectives.
- Show grit and composure and handle stressful situations under tight time constraints.
- Be a curious learner who volunteers to take on new tasks and challenges.
- Understand product specifications and features to drive appropriate software solutions and test requirements, including fault detection and FMEA.
- Drive innovation, leverage AI to improve engineering efficiency, and maintain a bias for action in taking on new challenges.
- Be Hungry, Honest, Humble and have Fun!
