TL;DR · Stability Quality Engineer

The Stability Quality Engineer - Data Center Systems Quality joins the Product Systems Quality organization to ensure the reliability and performance of data center systems at scale. This role involves designing, developing, and executing system-level and rack-level stability and stress tests to validate functional characteristics and identify hardware-centric software risks. You will manage racks of systems running concurrent long-duration workloads, conduct root cause analysis using performance analysis and debugging tools, and develop automated test frameworks. Key requirements include proficiency with Unix-based operating systems and scripting in Python, Ruby, Swift, or JavaScript. You must demonstrate experience with modern CPU architecture, microarchitecture concepts, and hardware bring-up. The work focuses on uncovering low-level issues in CPUs and subsystems to ensure stable large-scale deployment environments for data center infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and execute system-level and rack-level stability and stress tests for data center platforms.
  • Manage and operate racks of systems running concurrent tests and long-duration workloads simulating production conditions.
  • Identify, reproduce, isolate, and debug issues using performance analysis tools and stress benchmarks to find design flaws.
  • Conduct root cause analysis on system-level risks to inform product readiness decisions.
  • Develop and optimize automated test frameworks and tools to support large-scale validation environments.
  • Report technical issues and data analysis findings to cross-functional engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent degree.
  • 3+ years of experience in hardware/software test engineering with a focus on system validation or data center environments.
  • Hands-on experience with modern CPU architecture and microarchitecture concepts through processor-level debugging or validation projects.
  • Proficiency with Unix-based operating systems and scripting automation using Python, Ruby, Swift, or JavaScript.
  • Experience developing or executing test automation frameworks and methodologies at scale.
  • Proven ability to design and execute comprehensive validation test plans and work independently with cross-functional teams.
  • Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent degree (preferred).
  • Experience with hardware bring-up, debug, and troubleshooting in data center or server environments (preferred).
