Staff Engineer, System Design Verification

Role Summary:

Will be required to lead end‑to‑end system‑level validation of complex storage platforms across multiple customer and internal programs. This role requires deep technical ownership of validation strategy, hands‑on debug of system/firmware/hardware interactions, and strong cross‑functional influence across firmware, hardware, QA, and customer engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Own system‑level validation strategy for SSD platforms across FVT/DVT/SVT and customer qualification phases.
• Define and drive end‑to‑end test plans covering performance, reliability, corner cases, stress, and long‑duration workloads.
• Lead system bring‑up, platform configuration, and debug across OEM and hyperscaler environments.
• Perform deep‑dive failure triage and root‑cause analysis spanning firmware, hardware, drivers, OS, and test infrastructure.
• Drive issue resolution through data‑backed analysis, clear problem statements, and cross‑team collaboration.
• Act as technical authority for system verification sign‑off readiness and risk assessment.
• Mentor and technically guide senior/lead engineers; review test strategies and debug approaches.
• Partner with customer engineering teams to support customer‑specific validation, escalations, and qualifications.
• Contribute to test methodology improvements, automation strategy, and lab efficiency.
• Influence architecture and design decisions by providing early validation feedback.
