Job Summary

As a Systems Debug Engineer you will provide hands-on support for our data center development programs and labs. Youll work in a cross-functional lab that acts as the on-ramp for silicon validation software hardware test and reliability teams to access new systems in development. Partnering with electrical engineering teams and other subject-matter experts you will triage debug perform failure analysis and manage the hardware deployed in these labs. You will be a crucial technical resource leveraging your expertise in server platforms and electrical engineering to tackle complex problems. Join us and be a part of our dynamic team!

You will support early product development life-cycle by setting up data center hardware running tests on pre-production hardware and document results. Build maintain and debug both custom and OEM hardware to support multiple programs. Deploy proof of concept hardware software setup and/or piloting of new hardware for use at scale in the data center. This includes testing under various environmental conditions for power and temperature. You will collaborate cross functionally with multiple teams including hardware development validation data center logistics software development etc.
