Senior QA Engineer – Performance & Reliability Job Description

Axiado is a top-tier manufacturer of TCU (Trusted Control/Compute Unit) solutions. We are hiring a Senior QA Engineer – Performance & Reliability to lead the performance characterization and reliability validation of our Secure TCU System, ensuring it meets rigorous data center standards.

In this role, you will own the test design, execution, and deep-dive analysis for performance and reliability, working closely with development teams to identify bottlenecks and resolve complex system-level issues.

Key Responsibilities

Performance & Reliability Strategy

• Test Design & Execution: Design and execute comprehensive test plans for performance benchmarking, stress testing, longevity/endurance testing, and thermal/power characterization of TCU/BMC systems.

• Workload Analysis: Analyze system behavior under various heavy workloads to identify performance bottlenecks in throughput, latency, and resource utilization (CPU, Memory, PCIe).

• Reliability Validation: Conduct Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) prediction, long-duration stability tests, and error injection campaigns to validate system robustness.

Deep Dive & Issue Resolution

• Root Cause Analysis: Lead the deep-dive investigation of performance degradation and reliability failures. Use advanced debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, firmware traces) to isolate issues.

• Developer Collaboration: Work directly with firmware and hardware engineers to reproduce complex bugs, analyze crash dumps, and verify fixes.

• Infrastructure Enhancement: Develop and maintain automated performance testing frameworks and reporting dashboards to track regression and trends over time.

Reporting & Leadership

• Reporting: Generate detailed performance assessment reports and reliability analysis metrics for stakeholders.

• Mentorship: Mentor junior engineers on performance testing methodologies and system debugging techniques.
