Top Must-Haves
- L10 / System-Level Platform Validation HIGHEST PRIORITY
- We need a true L10/System-Level Validation Engineer, not someone focused primarily on L6 component-level testing.
- Experience validating complete server/platform systems, including server bring-up, integration, diagnostics and end-to-end validation.
- Candidate should be able to understand system dependencies and independently identify where failures originate.
- Experience with third-party/OEM servers and internal/proprietary drives is highly relevant.
- Python / Shell Test Automation MUST HAVE
- Candidate must be capable of writing validation/test scripts from scratch.
- Should not be limited to executing existing scripts or making minor modifications.
- Must be able to independently develop, debug and maintain Python/Shell automation.
- Should be comfortable creating test cases, executing validation, analyzing failures and improving automation.
- BMC / Redfish MUST HAVE
- Hands-on experience with BMC, preferably Redfish/API-based server management and diagnostics.
Validation Level Expectations
- L6: Component/board-level validation, probing, electrical testing useful but not sufficient by itself.
- L7: Subsystem-level validation good to have.
- L10: MOST CRITICAL system/platform-level validation, integration, automation and debugging.
- L11: Networking/advanced network validation LOW PRIORITY. Basic networking fundamentals are sufficient.
Important Technical Skills
- Strong hardware/system fundamentals
- Linux systems and troubleshooting, including basic kernel-level debugging
- Hardware/platform failure analysis and root-cause debugging
- Storage fundamentals SSD/HDD, TLC/QLC, SMART, drive health and integration
- PCIe fundamentals and system-level dependency understanding
- Ability to diagnose issues and drive them through regression/closure, rather than simply filing bugs
Nice-to-Have
- PCIe BER testing
- Power qualification
- Thermal/airflow validation
- Drive qualification
- Firmware/BIOS/UEFI
- Server bring-up
- Datacenter validation
- ODM/JDM experience
