Job Description
The role involves leading validation and testing strategies for NAND storage products, including firmware, hardware, and system-level performance, reliability, and compliance, while mentoring engineers and driving automation and debugging efforts in a high-impact, technical leadership position.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and lead validation strategies for NAND performance, reliability, and firmware maturity.
- Design and develop advanced validation suites and automation frameworks, including CI pipelines and analytics workflows.
- Conduct complex debugging and root-cause analysis across firmware, hardware, and system layers.
- Represent drive qualification in cross-functional forums, influencing firmware releases and quality reviews.
- Prototype non-deterministic test methods and mentor engineers in test design, data analysis, and coding standards.
Requirements
- Extensive technical leadership experience in storage, SSD, or firmware validation, with a proven track record of taking enterprise-class products from early silicon through General Availability (GA).
- Expert-level software engineering skills in Python, with the ability to build modular, maintainable test frameworks and automation tools in a Linux environment.
- Deep technical mastery of SSD protocols, including NVMe, PCIe lane glitch, resets, link-width transitions, and OCP specifications for telemetry and latency monitoring.
- Comprehensive understanding of NAND fundamentals, such as Program-Erase (P/E) cycling, read-disturb, data retention, and End-Of-Life (EOL) behavior, as well as experience with fault-injection and stress testing.
- Analytical proficiency with the ability to define quality metrics and utilize data platforms such as Snowflake and Tableau to create automated-triage pipelines and maturity dashboards.
- Ability to architect and lead end-to-end validation strategies for critical domains including NAND policy, power-loss robustness (PLP), and complex system-level stress tests such as snapshot and secure boot.
- Experience designing and engineering advanced validation suites and automation frameworks, converting manual demonstrations into scalable, repeatable Jenkins CI pipelines and analytics-driven workflows.
- Proven ability to drive complex debug efforts and root-cause analysis across firmware, hardware, and system layers, utilizing log-based forensics telemetry and NVMe OCP logs to ensure product stability.
- Experience acting as the primary technical representative for Drive Qualification in cross-functional forums, influencing FW release councils, quality reviews, and joint-qualification discussions with hyperscale customers.
- Mentoring engineers (IC3 and IC4 levels) on advanced test design, data analysis, and coding standards within large shared codebases.
- Strong communication skills to serve as the primary technical representative for Drive Qualification in cross-functional forums and influence product and quality decisions.
- Work from the Bengaluru office in compliance with company policies, unless on PTO, work travel, or other approved leave.
