Career Level - IC4

Responsibilities

• Lead system- and subsystem-level electrical validation for server hardware across NPI and sustaining engineering activities.
• Develop validation strategies, test plans, test coverage, procedures, and technical reports for complex hardware changes and electrical subsystems.
• Perform hands-on hardware troubleshooting, fault isolation, and rigorous root-cause analysis (RCCA) for complex board-, subsystem-, server-, factory-, field-, and customer-level failures.
• Collaborate deeply with firmware, software, operating system, diagnostics, field service, manufacturing, and other engineering teams to isolate issues and determine root cause.
• Drive corrective actions from investigation through implementation and validation, balancing technical rigor with the need to resolve critical hardware issues quickly.
• Lead qualification of alternate-source components and support Approved Vendor List (AVL) and end-of-life component activities to maintain manufacturing continuity.
• Analyze complex hardware changes and determine appropriate validation coverage based on interactions across electrical subsystems, interfaces, firmware, software, and system configurations.
• Use high-speed oscilloscopes, differential probes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other laboratory instrumentation to characterize and troubleshoot electrical behavior.
• Investigate signal integrity, power integrity, timing, noise, interoperability, and other electrical issues affecting system performance and reliability.
• Validate high-speed interfaces and electrical subsystems across varying hardware, firmware, load, and environmental conditions.
• Partner with electrical design, CAD, suppliers, manufacturing, and other engineering teams on validation, qualification, and complex technical issues.
• Review schematics, component specifications, PCB layouts, and other engineering documentation as part of validation, qualification, and root-cause investigations.
• Document specifications, validation plans, test results, technical findings, constraints, corrective actions, and engineering decisions.
• Contribute to formal design reviews and provide validation-driven feedback to improve product quality, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other engineers, helping teams work through ambiguous and technically challenging validation and debug problems.
