Description

Responsibilities and Tasks:

•          Test Strategy & Execution: Develop and maintain test plans, cases, and reports based on product requirements and industry standards (NVMe, PCIe, OCP).

•          Automation Development: Design, build, and maintain sophisticated automated test scripts and frameworks using Python to drive regression suites and CI/CD pipelines.

•          Storage Validation: Execute functional, endurance, and stress tests on enterprise SSDs (U.2/U.3, EDSFF) to maximize coverage.

•          Lab & Infrastructure Management: Configure and maintain enterprise server hardware (Dell, HPE, Supermicro), including BIOS/UEFI, RAID controllers, and networking setup.

•          Defect Management: Analyze test results, log defects in JIRA, and drive root-cause analysis for complex system-level failures.

•          OS & Virtualization: Manage OS installations and configurations across Linux (RHEL, Ubuntu), Windows Server, and VMware vSphere/ESXi environments. Virtualization experience is a PLUS.

•          Innovation: Stay current with emerging storage protocols and integrate AI/ML tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude) to optimize test generation and defect prediction. AI/ML tools development and know-how is a PLUS.

Required Qualifications:

•          Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.

•          Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in QA automation and systems validation, specifically focusing on enterprise storage or server systems.

•          Coding: Expert-level proficiency in Python and Shell/Bash scripting for lab automation and test orchestration.

Preferred Qualifications:

•          Storage Expertise: Deep understanding of SSD architecture, NVMe/PCIe protocols, and file systems (ext4, XFS, NTFS).

•          Tooling: Proficiency with IO generation tools such as FIO, VDBench, IOMeter or other equivalent tools.

•          Virtualization: Advanced experience with VMware lifecycle management (cloning, migrating, and troubleshooting VMs). Virtualization Knowledge is a PLUS

•          Emerging Tech: Experience utilizing generative AI or automation intelligence to enhance test development. AI env/setup/deployment know-how is a PLUS
