Sys/Test Validation Engineer

Job Title

Sys/Test Validation Engineer

Role Summary

Execute L10 system-level validation focused on server BIOS and BMC to ensure platform readiness for release. Work on triage, reproduction, debugging, and verification of firmware-related issues across firmware, hardware, and board teams.

Deliver and improve test coverage, procedures, and basic automation to prevent customer-visible quality escapes.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting does not specify a required number of years of experience.

Responsibilities

Primary duties for the role include system-level validation, defect triage, and verification of fixes.

• Execute L10 system test cases to validate server BIOS and BMC functionality.
• Validate BIOS and BMC behavior across boot, power, reset, and management flows on server platforms.
• Analyze, reproduce, and document system-level failures found during L10 validation.
• Work with firmware, hardware, and board design teams to triage failures and track issues to resolution.
• Confirm fixes through re-validation and use platform-level debug tools and system environments for root-cause analysis.
• Support improvements to L10 validation coverage and test procedures based on defect findings.
• Maintain and enhance test scripts or basic automation used in system validation.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and capabilities; preferred items are listed separately.

• Hands-on experience validating server BIOS and BMC functionality and system-level testing.
• Ability to debug system-level issues involving BIOS, BMC, firmware, or hardware interactions.
• General understanding of server platform architecture (CPU, memory, chipset).
• Experience using scripting languages (Python, shell, etc.) for test development or debug support.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills for cross-functional HW/SW/architecture teams.
• Comfortable working directly with firmware, hardware, and board development teams to resolve issues.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience in post-silicon system validation or L10 testing on server platforms.
• Familiarity with board bring-up and platform-level debug tools.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
