As a Senior Product Quality Engineer on the Systems Product Quality team, you will serve as the system-level power debug domain expert for customer returns and field failures. You will lead technical failure analysis for data center systems, compute trays, and compute modules, focusing on issues involving power delivery, sequencing, and intermittent events. Your daily work involves identifying root causes for complex failures like rail droops or over-current protection by analyzing system power architecture from AC/DC inputs through board-level rails. You will utilize oscilloscopes, current probes, DMMs, Linux-based diagnostics, and BMC telemetry to build fact-based conclusions. Key technical requirements include expertise in DC-DC converters, multiphase VRs, and power sequencing, alongside proficiency in reading schematics and PCB layouts. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive corrective actions and provide executive-ready reports on failure mechanisms.
Lead system-level power failure analysis for customer returns and field failures across data center systems and compute modules.
Identify root causes for complex issues like intermittent boot, rail droop, over-current protection, and sequencing faults.
Analyze power architecture from AC/DC input through PSU, eFuse, VR, and board-level rails to determine failure boundaries.
Use oscilloscopes, current probes, DMMs, and Linux-based diagnostics to build fact-based debug conclusions.
Correlate field data, firmware behavior, schematics, and telemetry trends to assess risk and identify root causes.
Drive containment, corrective actions, and defect-prevention feedback for hardware, firmware, and manufacturing teams.
Create technical reports and executive summaries communicating failure mechanisms, impacts, and mitigation steps.
What we're looking for
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a related field; Master's degree preferred.
5+ years of hands-on experience in hardware debug, customer return analysis, field failure analysis, or power electronics support for complex electronic systems.
Strong understanding of system power delivery, DC-DC converters, multiphase VRs, regulators, power sequencing, and protection circuits.
Proven ability to debug power issues at system, board, and component levels using schematics, PCB layouts, and test logs.
Experience with Linux systems, shell scripts, BMC/IPMI/Redfish telemetry, and basic automation for data collection.
Strong analytical skills including structured troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and statistical process control.
Excellent written and spoken English with the ability to communicate complex findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
Experience debugging high-power server or data center platforms in customer-return workflows (preferred).
