Responsibilities
- Design and develop Python-based test automation frameworks for FPGA qualification, regression testing, and data collection to improve test coverage, repeatability, and execution efficiency.
- Drive reliability growth initiatives by analyzing field and lab failures, identifying failure trends, implementing corrective actions, and validating improvements through structured testing and qualification efforts.
- Analyze test results and reliability data, identify failure modes, conduct root-cause analysis, and recommend design, manufacturing, or process improvements to enhance product reliability.
- Manage the build, maintenance, configuration, and continuous improvement of engineering targets with hardware platforms used for product development and verification activities.
- Provide target-level and bay-level technical support, troubleshooting hardware, firmware, and FPGA issues to ensure maximum availability and efficiency of validation environments.
- Establish and maintain a transparent target/bay scheduling process, proactively collecting team requirements, prioritizing resource allocation, and coordinating usage across engineering teams to maximize utilization and minimize conflicts.
- Perform bay-level and target-level interoperability, performance, stress, and reliability testing to validate system functionality across multiple hardware and software configurations.
- Debug hardware failures, perform component-level and system-level root-cause analysis, and collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to drive issue resolution and corrective action closure.
- Support firmware and FPGA development teams with hardware setup, board bring-up, programming workflows, validation of new firmware drops, and debugging hardware-dependent firmware issues.
- Drive Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) through internal release systems (e.g., MyWorkshop), ensuring alignment with stakeholders and timely implementation of approved changes.
