Test Strategy Lead – Server validation

Role Overview

We are looking for a Server Test Strategy Leadwith a strong foundation inserver hardware testingwho is motivated torethink how testing is done.

This role goes beyond traditional test execution. You will play a key part inshaping the future of testingby applyingAI-driven approachesto improve efficiency, insight, and quality-while remaining deeply grounded in real-world test engineering challenges.

If you are someone who enjoys questioning existing processes, experimenting with new ideas, and turning concepts into practical improvements, this role is designed for you.

Key Responsibilities

Core Testing & Engineering Ownership

• Lead and contribute toserver HW test planning, test case design, execution, and analysis, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and reliability.
• Participate in ongoing system-level projects, working hands-on withhardware, and platform-level testing activities.
• Collaborate closely with engineering and cross-functional stakeholders to resolve issues and drive quality outcomes.

AI‑Driven Innovation & Transformation

• Identify opportunities toapply AI and data-driven approachesto testing activities such as defect analysis, test coverage optimization, efficiency improvement, and insight generation.
• Explore, prototype, and implementAI-enabled testing solutionsthat move beyond SOP-based execution.
• Drivecontinuous improvement initiatives, challenging conventional testing workflows and introducing smarter, more scalable methods.

Technical Leadership & Influence

• Act as atechnical thought partnerwithin the testing organization, helping shape new ways of working.
• Present ideas, proposals, and proof points tosenior stakeholdersand influence adoption of new approaches.
• Lead or participate invirtual, cross-functional initiativesrelated to testing innovation and AI adoption.

Knowledge Sharing & Enablement

• Author and maintaintechnical documentation, guidelines, and evolving SOPsfor AI-enabled testing practices.
• Mentor and support team members in buildingtesting depth and AI awareness.
• Contribute toglobal collaboration, sharing best practices and driving standardization across teams.

Required Qualifications (Core Fit)

These are thenon-negotiable foundationsfor success in this role.

• Bachelor's degree or above inComputer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related disciplines.
• 5+ years of hands-on experienceinserver hardware testing.
• Proven ability toanalyze problems critically, think beyond defined processes, and propose better solutions.
• Working knowledge or applied exposure toAI, automation, data analytics, or intelligent toolswithin engineering or testing contexts (depth can vary).
• StrongEnglish communication skillsfor collaboration and stakeholder discussions (Chinese proficiency is an advantage).

Important: This role is not suitable for candidates withpure software-only testing backgroundsor those who prefer strictly SOP-driven execution.

Preferred / Value‑Adding Qualifications

These differentiate strong candidates but arenot mandatory.

• Hands-on experience applyingAI or automationto areas such as test optimization, defect prediction, or data analysis.
• Exposure tohardware testingenvironments.
• Experience leadingprocess improvement, transformation initiatives, or technical task forces.
• Background inproject coordination, technical leadership, or mentoring, even without formal people management responsibility.
• Experience working inlarge-scale or globally distributed engineering environments.

Why This Role Is Different

• You arenot hired just to run tests- you are hired tochange how testing is done.
• You will havevisibility and influencewith senior technical leadership.
• The role valuesthinking, experimentation, and impact, not just years of experience or tools listed on a résumé.
• Compensation and level are assessed based oncapability, mindset, and potential, not rigid profiles.
