Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

• BS/MS in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related degree
• 6+ years of relevant experience in server systems/platforms design and development for enterprise or cloud market segments.
• Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience in ARM/x86 based Server hardware architecture, SOC development and/or DDR, PCIe and other high-speed interface with solid understanding of hardware, firmware, and OS interfaces.
• Experience in Post Silicon validation, Platform bring up, System Integration, functional validation and Server Platform Validation.
• Experienced in debugging complex system level issues and ability to root-cause/identifying potential fixes.
• Strong technical communication skills (verbal and written) to interface with cross-functional technical leads within and/or outside of the organization.
• Experience in platform level test architecture and usage of debug tools like (Lauterbach, Arium, ARM JTAG tools, OpenOCD or equivalent).
• Experienced in debugging complex system level issues and ability to root-cause/identifying potential fixes down to a board hardware, signal integrity, CPLD/FPGA, thermal and Firmware components, OS is required.
• Programming Skills : Perl / Python / Shell Scripting.
  
   

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in evaluating off the shelf OEM hardware designs, HW/FW/OS interactions, platform config trade-offs, performance tuning and optimizations is required.
• Understanding how standard server interfaces, such as PCIe, SATA, and memory, work with their respective software stacks, virtualization.
• Functional knowledge of secure boot, attestation, FW update & recovery and Confidential Computing on server platform architectures. 
• Experience in platform HW and FW security capabilities (RoT) and implementations.
• Familiarity with NIST 800 standards pertains to FW support for secure update and secure recovery.

Experience in Server platform HW designs or Server platform validation with knowledge of BMC, system level firmware, will be an added advantage.

• Volume hardware test and debug expertise.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with architecture, silicon engineering, firmware, hardware design, hardware validation, OS (operating systems), manufacturing, and customer teams to build state-of-the-art AI, compute, storage, networking, and accelerator hardware solutions. 
• Analyze new interfaces and subsystems to develop integration plans, analyze power efficiency, debug integration issues, and provide recommendations. 
• Define system behavior and concept of operations for the platform to ensure compatibility with Microsoft Azure datacenter software, serviceability, telemetry, and customer expectations. 
• Perform NUDD (new, unique, different, and difficult) technology and feature analysis and provide risk assessment and mitigations. 
• Drive technical requirements and ensure the solution is flexible and scalable across the full (HW/FW/SW) stack. 
• Enable platform and solution level discussions, contributing to architecture of the product, and delivering to product goals across quality, reliability, and performance. 
• Collaborate with internal, external, and open-source partners to onboard innovative technologies in a seamless manner.
