• Perform system-level testing including CPU, memory, storage, and networking validation
• Help build and maintain internal tools for automated testing and reporting
• Troubleshoot system, networking, and performance issues across the stack
• Document processes, test results, and system configurations.

• 0-2 years of experience in hardware validation, server architecture, infrastructure engineering, or HPC environments.
• Understanding of server platforms, including CPUs, memory subsystems, storage architectures, and high-speed networking.
• Strong Linux administration skills, including system deployment, performance tuning, and security hardening.
• Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Bash, or equivalent languages.
• Solid grasp of networking fundamentals, data-path analysis, and traffic-generation principles.

• Exceptional documentation, communication, and cross-team collaboration skills.

• Familiarity with containerization tools (e.g., Docker).
• Exposure to high-performance computing environments or enterprise infrastructure.
• Understanding of server architecture, including CPU, memory, storage, and networking trade-offs.
• Experience with remote server management tools (IPMI, BMC, Redfish).
• Demonstrated interest in hardware projects (e.g., Raspberry Pi, custom PC builds, home labs).

• Bachelor’s degree (or expected graduation soon) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline
