Description and Requirements
Position Summary
We are looking for a Server Hardware Product Assurance Test Engineerto own and lead server system hardware functional validationfrom test planning through execution oversight.
This role sits close to R&D and works with both internal engineering teams and outsourced test partners to ensure high‑quality server platforms across CPU, memory, storage, networking, and accelerator subsystems.
This role sits close to R&D and works with both internal engineering teams and outsourced test partners to ensure high‑quality server platforms across CPU, memory, storage, networking, and accelerator subsystems.
This is an impactful rolewhere you will influence test strategy, quality decisions, and issue resolution, not just execute test cases.
Key Responsibilities
(Must‑Have / Core Responsibilities)
- Act as test execution leadfor server system hardware functional validation
- Develop and own hardware validation plans, test strategies, and coverage definitions
- Lead and support test execution using defined test plans, SOPs, schedules, and processes
- Drive test schedule, risk, and issue management, including cross‑team coordination
- Support debugging and issue triage by working closely with development and vendor teams
- Mentor and guide outsourced test engineers during execution phases
Primary Test Coverage Areas
(Must‑Have Exposure in Most Areas)
- Compute & Platform: CPU, Memory, PCIe, TPM / TCM, onboard Video, Legacy Ports, USB
- Accelerators: GPGPU (including functional and stress validation)
- Storage:
- SAN / SAS Controllers
- SATA / SAS HDD & SSD, NVMe SSD
- RAID configurations
- Networking: Ethernet, RDMA
- System Stress & Reliability:
- Cycling Tests
- System Stress / Burn‑in Tests
Required Qualifications
(Must‑Have Exposure in Most Areas)
- 3+ years of experiencein server or storage‑related testing
- Solid understanding of server hardware platforms, including:
- CPU, Memory, Motherboard, PSU
- BIOS / UEFI, BMC
- Experience installing and validating server OS environments:
- Windows
- Linux
- VMware
- Hands‑on experience with server NIC testing, including:
- Multiple speeds and interfaces
- Basic functions: PXE, WOL
- Advanced features: SR‑IOV, VXLAN
- Strong ability to work cross‑functionally and communicate clearly in spoken and written English
Strongly Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with storage technologies and environments, including:
- SAS / FC / FCoE / iSCSI SAN
- Host discovery, LUN mapping
- MPIO installation and configuration
- Experience validating NVMe, RAID, and enterprise storage peripherals
- Background in server ODM / OEM environments, especially large‑scale server platforms
- Experience supporting or validating platforms involving GPU certification and test tools
Nice‑to‑Have / Differentiators
- Exposure to InfiniBand and Omni‑Pathtechnologies
- Experience working with outsourced or contract test teams
- Understanding of hardware design concepts(signal integrity, platform architecture)
- Prior involvement in test strategy definitionrather than execution only
What Makes This Role Attractive
- Ownership beyond execution: influence test strategy, quality decisions, and risk mitigation
- Close collaboration with R&D, vendors, and platform architects
- Opportunity to work on enterprise‑grade server platformswith broad hardware coverage
- Clear growth path from execution familiarity to test leadership and planning ownership
