TL;DR · Systems Design Engineer

The Systems Design Engineer joins the Data Center Platform Engineering Group to support the bring-up, support, and debug of complex system and SOC problems within a growing lab team. This role involves performing hands-on experiments for issue management, conducting board level reworks, and deploying pre-production platforms and test stations to enable silicon bring-up and validation. The engineer will troubleshoot firmware, software, and hardware issues while integrating automated testing into CI/CD environments using Jenkins and Ansible. Required skills include proficiency in Python, bash, C/C++, Perl, Tcl, and LabView across Windows and Linux operating systems. Candidates must be able to interpret board schematics, perform soldering, and use tools like oscilloscopes and protocol analyzers. The role addresses technical challenges in the data center space involving power electronics, multiphase converters, and high-speed protocols like PCIe Gen 5.

What you'll do

  • Set up hardware to facilitate remote and local test execution in the validation lab.
  • Troubleshoot and debug system, firmware, and software issues while maintaining development systems.
  • Reproduce technical issues and validate fixes identified by platform leads and engineers.
  • Provide logs and statistics to assist in the further debugging of complex problems.
  • Integrate automated testing into CI/CD environments using tools like Jenkins and Ansible.
  • Perform board-level reworks and hardware repairs as required for system maintenance.
  • Use oscilloscopes, multi-meters, and protocol analyzers to identify and correct unexpected results.
  • Document experimental results in a structured manner for easy reference and tracking.

What we're looking for

  • Proven test bench setup experience with expertise in embedded systems.
  • Ability to read and interpret board schematics.
  • Software programming and scripting experience in Python, bash, C/C++ on Windows and Linux.
  • Experience with PC/server hardware and software setup and administration.
  • Basic networking skills and ability to work in both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Excellent soldering skills and experience with power supplies monitoring and sequencing.
  • Proficiency in power electronics fundamentals, specifically multiphase power converters.
  • Ability to use oscilloscopes, multi-meters, current probes, electronic loads, and protocol analyzers.
  • Knowledge of computer hardware (CPU/APU, graphics, memory) and software architecture (driver/BIOS).
  • Test automation expertise using Perl, Tcl, Python, or LabView.
  • Familiarity with low-speed protocols like I2C, Redfish, IPMI, SPI, I3C, SVI2, SVI3 and high-speed protocols like PCIe Gen 5 (preferred).
  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering (preferred).
