We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced
System Debug Lead Engineer to join our team. This individual will play a critical role in root cause analysis and resolution of complex issues across our server and data center platforms, involving electrical, mechanical, thermal, and firmware components. The ideal candidate brings a multidisciplinary approach to system-level problem-solving and thrives in a dynamic, collaborative environment.
What you'll be doing:- Lead cross-functional debug of critical system-level issues across hardware (electrical, mechanical, thermal) and firmware domains
- Perform hands-on root cause analysis of failures observed during system validation, production, or in-field operation
- Collaborate with electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, thermal engineers, firmware developers, and manufacturing teams to develop and validate fixes
- Develop and implement detailed tests and experiments to identify and recreate intricate issues
- Develop tools, scripts, and automation to accelerate debug workflows
- Provide technical guidance and mentoring to cross-functional teams
- Document debug procedures, findings, and mitigation plans clearly and concisely
- Drive corrective and preventive action processes with suppliers and internal teams
What we need to see:- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields (or equivalent experience)
- 10+ years of experience in system-level debug in data center/server or similar hardware platforms
- Deep understanding of system architecture including CPUs, memory, high-speed I/Os, power delivery, thermal management, and firmware
- Proven experience in debugging electrical issues (e.g., signal integrity, power integrity), thermal issues (e.g., airflow, cooling design), and firmware anomalies (e.g., BIOS/UEFI, BMC)
- Proficiency in tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and firmware debug equipment/utilities
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work across fields and teams
- Experience working with contract manufacturers and suppliers is a plus
