Job Description

The role involves leading validation and testing strategies for high-performance SSD storage solutions, ensuring product reliability, diagnosing system-level failures, and collaborating across teams to deliver cutting-edge storage technology.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and own the validation strategy for NAND reliability, PCIe Gen6, and OCP compliance to ensure product maturity.
Design and implement advanced validation suites and automation frameworks integrating testing tools with CI pipelines.
Lead investigation and debugging of system-level failures using logs and telemetry to identify root causes and verify firmware fixes.
Represent the validation team in cross-functional forums to assess product readiness and communicate launch risks.
Collaborate with Firmware, Systems, and Program teams to transform complex storage challenges into high-performance solutions.

Requirements

Extensive experience in SSD or firmware validation with deep technical mastery of NVMe, PCIe protocols, and OCP specifications, specifically regarding power-loss robustness and data integrity.
Expert-level Python skills for building modular, maintainable automation frameworks and experience managing large shared codebases within a Linux-heavy CI/CD environment.
Proven history of leading complex validation projects through the full lifecycle from Engineering Sample (ES) to General Availability (GA) and the ability to define success metrics using data analytics platforms like Snowflake or Tableau.
Comprehensive understanding of NAND policy and reliability, including P/E cycling, wear-out, and read-disturb behavior under enterprise-grade stress.
Ability to define and own the end-to-end test strategy for major domains including NAND reliability, PCIe Gen6, and OCP compliance, establishing entry and exit criteria that guarantee product maturity.
Experience acting as the lead investigator for system-level failures, performing deep-dive forensics on NVMe OCP logs and telemetry to identify root causes and verify high-impact firmware fixes.
Ability to represent the Drive Qualification team in cross-functional forums, providing data-driven insights to firmware release councils and quality reviews to determine launch risks and coverage.
Location in Bangalore, with the ability to work primarily in an in-office environment in compliance with company policies.
