TL;DR · Senior Hardware Systems Engineer

As a Senior Hardware Systems Engineer in the test solutions group, you will develop manufacturing test solutions for Datacenter products. You will be responsible for defining and implementing these solutions while investigating new technologies and methodologies to improve production efficiency. Your daily work involves developing test strategies for new product features, which includes identifying, specifying, designing, and qualifying test fixtures, equipment, and diagnostic software. You will also provide feedback on DFT during early design stages and debug complex hardware and software issues during build phases. To succeed, you must possess expertise in board-level or system-level hardware products, Python programming, and Bash scripting for test automation. The role focuses on solving manufacturing challenges within the datacenter product space by creating scalable hardware test solutions across the entire product lifecycle to ensure high-quality production output.

What you'll do

  • Define and implement manufacturing test solutions for Datacenter System products.
  • Investigate and introduce new manufacturing test technologies to improve production efficiency.
  • Develop test strategies for new product features including identification and specification of hardware.
  • Design, qualify, and manage test fixtures, equipment, and diagnostic software.
  • Provide feedback and review for Design for Test (DFT) during early design stages.
  • Debug complex hardware and software issues during the manufacturing build phases.
  • Develop automated test tools and scripts using Python and Bash.
  • Collaborate with Contract Manufacturers and ODMs to deploy scalable hardware test solutions.

What we're looking for

  • BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of post-silicon validation experience with board-level or system-level hardware products.
  • Proven experience developing and executing manufacturing test programs at the platform level.
  • Hands-on experience with datacenter platforms and associated validation workflows.
  • Proficiency in Python programming and Bash scripting for test automation and tooling.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly across teams.
  • Deep expertise in system-level validation, defining test strategy, and leading continuous improvement initiatives (preferred).
  • Proven experience collaborating with Contract Manufacturers (CMs) and ODMs to deploy scalable hardware test solutions (preferred).
