Staff Engineer, SSD Validation

You will partner multi-functionally and cross-site with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, and other engineering groups to collaborate in developing strategies to implement validation work. Technical Ownership Serve as the domain guide for validation on firmware architecture, product requirements, and associated industry and results. Reviews and challenges current test plans, coverage, and testing activities to drive both increased effectiveness and efficiencies across the product portfolio Recommend and instrument new validation approaches that drive better end-to-end coverage, more accurate testing, and expanded testing services Apply technical, project, and delegation experience to actively lead product test cycles Working with product design for test cases developing coherently with FW and HW architecture to influence the CI/CD FW dev flow, gate-keep quality and shift left bug discovery Enable shift-left efforts to move detection of failures from customer tests to internal-developed and maintained test frameworks Implement systematic clear steps to reproduce failures while providing traceability to the bugs/gaps/escapes. Collaborate with partner teams to assess test results and generate deviation. Study of product requirements in order to verify testability Identification of suitable testing equipment Feedback & influence product design for the definition and implementation of new requirements/ performances Plan test schedules or strategies in accordance with project scope and delivery dates BS in an engineering subject area or equivalent 6+ years of validation experience, with validated ability to craft and implement outstanding product test strategies.
