Systems Test Engineer

About You

You are a hands-on systems engineer who enjoys solving complex integration problems across hardware, software, firmware, operating systems, networking, and storage. You are motivated by working on leading-edge AI hardware and HPC technologies that support next-generation AI development and applications. You understand the importance of validating complex integrated systems before release to help protect customer uptime, reliability, and overall experience. You look for opportunities to identify product issues early, strengthen test coverage, improve automation, and increase release readiness. You work effectively across engineering, program, product, vendor, and global test teams to drive issues to resolution. You communicate clearly about technical issues, risks, status, and recommendations with both technical teams and leadership.
