• Setup hardware to facilitate remote/local test execution and user-defined workloads in the DCGPU validation lab.
• Own initial troubleshooting and debug of a wide variety of system, firmware, or software issues encountered while maintaining the integrity of many development systems.
• Reproduce issues and validate fixes identified by DCGPU platform leads and chief engineers.
• Provide logs and statistics that will help in further debug of issues.
• Integrate automated testing in CI/CD environment (e.g., Jenkins, Ansible).
• Work within a managed ticketing system and communicate clearly on steps/activities.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:

• Required Data Center and Hardware Experience with hands-on debug server experience in different environments such as Linux, Windows, and different operational systems.
• Required hands-on experience on rack/stack/deployment servers in a Data Center Environment.
• Proven test bench setup experience with expertise in embedded systems.
• Able to read and interpret board schematics.
• Software Programming and scripting experience (Python, Bash, C/C++) in Windows and Linux operating systems.
• PC/server environment H/W and S/W setup and administration.
• Basic networking skills.
• Comfortable working in different operating system environments including Windows and Linux.
• Experience with HW and SW fault detection and management.
• Experience with power supplies monitoring and sequencing.
• Proficient in the fundamentals of power electronics with special emphasis on multiphase power converters.
• Demonstrated ability to work with oscilloscopes, multi-meters, current probes, electronic loads, and protocol analyzers as well as adept at intuitive reasoning to explain and correct unexpected results.
• Proficient at documenting experimental results in a structured manner for ease of reference.
• Knowledge of computer hardware (CPU/APU, graphic cards (GPU), memory, bus logic, and display technologies) and software architecture (driver/bios).
• Ability to set up hardware and build computer systems.
• Logic-based decision making on triage/debug.
• Test automation expertise using Perl/Tcl/Python/LabView.
• Bonus skills: Familiarity with low-speed industry standard protocols such as I2C, Redfish, IPMI, SPI, I3C, SVI2, SVI3 and high-speed industry standard protocols such as PCIe Gen 5.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or other relevant discipline.

LOCATION:
