Job Title

Systems Test Engineer - HPC & AI Systems

Onsite (expected to work primarily from an HPE office)

The HPC Integrated Systems Test team validates complex HPE HPC & AI solutions before release, helping ensure that customers receive reliable, high-quality systems. This TCP-03 role is for an experienced systems engineer who can design and execute test strategies across integrated hardware, software, networking, storage, firmware, operating systems, and management interfaces. IST tests rack-scale, accelerator, interconnect, memory, power, thermal, and large-scale systems with supercomputing complexity.

The engineer works closely with cross-functional development, program, product, and vendor teams to identify issues early, support root-cause analysis, and drive problems to resolution.

• Validate complex system configurations across servers, accelerators, storage, networking, firmware, operating systems, and management interfaces used in AI and HPC environments.
• Translate product requirements and feature changes into validation strategies that improve test coverage, identify integration risks early, and provide clear release-readiness feedback to engineering and program teams.
• Analyze, debug, and drive resolution of issues discovered during integrated systems testing.
• Support Linux OS certification and submission activities with vendors such as Red Hat, SUSE, and Ubuntu.
• Execute testing in local and remote lab environments and coordinate automated test execution across global teams.
• Partner with product development, program management, product management, technical leads, and third-party vendors to resolve development and release issues.
• Use test tools, automation support, and process improvements to improve validation efficiency for current and next-generation HPE HPC products.
• Communicate with management and development partners on system requirements, test plan status, project progress, risks, and issue resolution.
• Train, guide, and support onshore and offshore test teams in test setup, execution, and result triage.
• Mentor less-experienced staff members and contribute to overall team capability.

• Hands‑on experience with HPE HPC & AI platforms, including EX, XD, Apollo, Industry Standard Server, storage, and networking products.
• Strong working knowledge of Linux operating systems, including Red Hat, SLES, Ubuntu, and related certification or validation processes.
• Understanding of hardware and software interactions in complex server, storage, networking, and integrated systems environments.
• Experience developing, executing, and improving test strategies for complex product releases.
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills for complex issues in collaboration with engineering, product, and test teams.
• Familiarity with automated test execution, test tools, and validation frameworks.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving product development environment.
• Ability to work effectively in a global, culturally diverse engineering team.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively communicate technical concepts, issues, and recommendations.
• Bash scripting experience required to support system test execution and troubleshooting.
• Python experience preferred for test support, log analysis, and validation efficiency improvements.
• Knowledge of Redfish commands, RESTful APIs, and JSON is a plus.
• Must be a US Citizen.

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in either Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent technical field.
• Minimum 6 years of relevant experience in systems engineering, software engineering, test engineering, platform validation, or related technical roles.

• Health & Wellbeing – comprehensive suite of benefits supporting physical, financial and emotional wellbeing.
• Personal & Professional Development – programs to help reach career goals.
• Unconditional Inclusion – inclusive environment celebrating individual uniqueness.
