• Support partners technically through NPI and production ramp phases
• Triage and root-cause manufacturing test escapes and field failures
• Build and maintain CI/CD infrastructure for the diagnostics software stack
• Track quality metrics — yield, test coverage, defect density — and report out

What You Are

• 7+ years in systems diagnostics, hardware validation, or manufacturing test
• Expert in Python and C/C++ for test automation and low-level device programming
• Deep knowledge of PCIe, memory hierarchies, power management, and I/O
