About the Job

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience with flash memory architectures, NVMe/PCIe drive protocols, SSD firmware integration, and drive-level L6 failure analysis in enterprise or hyperscale environments.
  • Experience developing manufacturing tests, validating bills of materials, and bringing up hardware through NPI/DVT phases in high-volume compute or storage manufacturing.
  • Proficiency with Linux operating systems, PXE boot frameworks, BMC/IPMI interfaces, low-level storage diagnostics, and Python or Bash scripting.
  • Ability to work with external ODMs, contract manufacturers, and internal cross-functional teams to debug line issues and enforce quality standards.
  • Ability to perform root-cause analysis and debugging across hardware, drive interfaces, firmware, and complex system-level interactions.
  • Ability to define scalable manufacturing test architecture that expands coverage, automation, data collection, and analytics while maintaining throughput, reliability, and maintainability.

Responsibilities

  • Lead development, validation, and optimization of manufacturing test solutions for high-performance storage servers and flash storage drive architectures.
  • Own end-to-end manufacturing test strategies, diagnostic sequences, and rack-level test infrastructure, focusing on L6 drive-level validation of SSDs, NVMe, and PCIe below the standard server level.
  • Drive test readiness and execution for critical NPI builds, including DVT milestones; support bring-up, comprehensive BOM verification, and early defect detection.
  • Partner with Hardware, Firmware, Quality, and Operations Engineering to validate early hardware builds for new server SKUs, custom flash drives, and Direct Flash Modules.
  • Build and maintain Python or Shell automation scripts, PXE boot environments, and drive diagnostic tools; integrate test logs into manufacturing analytics dashboards for real-time yield visibility.
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership in manufacturing test design and on-site support to global ODM/JDM and contract manufacturing partners during line bring-up, yield optimization, and test escape prevention.
  • Analyze failure data with Quality and Reliability teams, refine test coverage, enforce BOM validation, and improve First Pass Yield across manufacturing lines.
  • Build scalable test infrastructure and data pipelines that turn manufacturing and field data into actionable insights for failure detection, predictive quality, yield optimization, and continuous improvement.
