  • Provide technical guidance and coordination to outsourced execution teams (OE), ensuring test quality, progress, and outcomes meet certification requirements.

  • Hands-on experience with at least one major server operating system (e.g., Windows Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux), with working-level understanding of other common server OS environments.
  • Strong problem analysis and troubleshooting skills at the operating system level, with the ability to work cross-functionally with RD, project management, and external OS vendors.
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in dynamic or uncertain environments, showing adaptability, logical thinking, and accountability beyond pure execution tasks.
  • Exposure to GPU platforms, AI-related systems, ARM architecture, or kernel-level concepts is an advantage, but not mandatory.
