  • Proficiency using hardware debug equipment, including oscilloscopes, JTAG tools, and other diagnostic instrumentation.
  • Familiarity with Linux-based automation environments and scripting.

Responsibilities

  • Drive end-to-end debug activities, including issue triage, root cause analysis, and communication with stakeholders.
  • Investigate hardware, firmware, and software failures encountered during card, server, rack, and test fixture bring-up.
  • Gather, analyze, and correlate failure data to identify trends, isolate root causes, and drive corrective actions.
  • Develop, integrate, and document hardware and software bring-up, validation, and debug processes.
  • Design and enhance test automation infrastructure to improve debug efficiency, validation coverage, and test stability.
  • Execute validation plans and debug methodologies for accelerator cards, server platforms, Ethernet, PCIe, and high-speed I/O interfaces.
  • Create debug tools, test scripts, and diagnostic procedures to accelerate issue reproduction and resolution.
  • Prioritize and track issue resolution and communicate progress through regular updates on root causes, corrective actions, and overall status.
