The ideal candidate is a hands-on test engineer with experience in data center system-level testing, hardware and software debug, and manufacturing test development. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to resolve complex technical issues.

You are comfortable working independently and across geographically distributed engineering and manufacturing teams. You bring a strong interest in GPU hardware and AI, ML, and HPC technologies, along with deep familiarity with Linux environments and computer hardware validation.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Develop manufacturing test strategies for new product features, including the identification, specification, design, and qualification of test fixtures, equipment, and diagnostic software.
  • Define scalable board- and system-level hardware test solutions, methodologies, and manufacturing processes.
  • Review product designs during early development stages and provide Design for Testability (DFT) recommendations.
  • Develop test content, diagnostic tools, and automation solutions using Python and other scripting languages.
  • Contribute to automated diagnostic generation and validation infrastructure.
  • Debug complex hardware, software, device, and manufacturing issues during product build and production phases.
  • Partner with cross-functional stakeholders and manufacturing partners to improve yield, reduce cost, increase test efficiency, and resolve quality issues.
  • Evaluate and introduce new manufacturing test technologies, tools, and methodologies.
  • Lead the resolution of complex, novel, and non-recurring technical problems, including significant improvements to existing processes and methods.
  • Build and maintain effective working relationships across geographically distributed Product Engineering, Design, Validation, and Manufacturing teams.
  • Provide technical leadership, influence engineering decisions, and mentor junior engineers as needed.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Proven experience developing and supporting manufacturing test programs for board- or system-level products.
  • Strong data center system test, hardware validation, and debug experience.
  • Proficiency with Python programming and Bash or shell scripting.
  • Experience developing test patterns, vectors, timing, diagnostics, or related manufacturing test content.
  • Experience debugging issues across hardware, software, device, and manufacturing domains.
  • Strong working knowledge of Linux or UNIX operating systems.
  • Solid knowledge of IPMI, PCIe, BMC, and thermal solutions.
  • Experience with additional scripting languages such as Perl or Ruby.
  • Programming experience with C, C++, C#, or Java.
  • Experience with version-control systems such as Git, SVN, CVS, or RCS.
  • Familiarity with Agile development methodologies, including Scrum or Kanban; Scrum Master or Product Owner experience is a plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with geographically distributed engineering and manufacturing teams.
  • Excellent communication, analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience driving manufacturing yield, quality, cost, or test-efficiency improvements.
  • Relevant board-, system-, or platform-level test engineering experience.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
