Job Description

We’re looking for a Hardware Test Automation Engineer who thrives in a hands-on lab environment — someone who feels most at home working with hardware, instruments, and real systems under test. The employee will work on validating all customer facing PCBs at a system level. The employee will own the test automation and contribute to functional and electrical PCB validation of the on different servers and will be responsible for creating robust system level tests and running them in the lab.

Job Responsibility

  • Develop and maintain automated Python testing frameworks
  • Modify and run system validation tests on customer-facing cards, including DPU accelerator cards, on different platforms, ensuring system robustness
  • Work on the PCB functional bring-up
  • Design system validation testcases, including PCIE gen 5 and Ethernet 106G, based on product application specifications/customer specifications
  • Automating system validation flows to reduce run time and efficiently post-process results
  • Partner with cross-functional teams, including ASIC, firmware, and validation, to ensure seamless product validation.

Requirements

  • Well-versed with lab equipment such as BERT, protocol analyzer, etc.
  • Solid understanding of PCB architecture
  • Comfortable programming in a scripting language (e.g., Python) and writing complete programs from scratch (e.g., 5000+ lines of code)
  • Comfortable designing/maintaining flows and methodologies from scratch
  • Ability to break a complex problem into simpler problems and to localize and resolve problems
  • Well organized, punctual, and excellent communication skills
  • BS/MS in electrical engineering with 4+ years of experience with at least 3+ years of experience in PCIE and/or Ethernet system validation.
