Job Description
The role involves leading validation and testing strategies for high-performance SSDs, ensuring product reliability, and driving technical innovation through automation and deep system analysis within a collaborative engineering environment.
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 tools with CI pipelines for scalable testing.
- 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, providing data-driven insights on product readiness and launch risks.
- Mentor and set technical standards for engineering team members, developing scalable validation tools and conducting code reviews.
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.
- Define and own the end-to-end test strategy for major domains including NAND reliability, PCIe Gen6, and OCP compliance, establishing the entry and exit criteria that guarantee product maturity.
- Lead technical innovation by designing and implementing advanced validation suites and automation frameworks integrating Everpure HYVE-based tools with Jenkins CI pipelines to scale testing across global hyperscale customers.
- Act 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.
- 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.
- Mentor senior engineers (IC3, IC4), conduct high-level code reviews, and evolve one-off prototypes into scalable, production-grade validation tools, thereby setting the technical bar for the Bangalore team.
- Deep technical mastery of storage protocols, including NVMe, PCIe, and OCP specifications, with specific expertise in power-loss robustness and data integrity.
- Work primarily from the Bangalore office in compliance with company policies, unless on PTO, work travel, or other approved leave.
