Systems Debug Engineer – Data Center HWE

As a Systems Debug Engineer, you will provide hands-on support for our data center development programs and labs. You’ll work in a cross-functional lab that acts as the on-ramp for silicon validation, software, hardware test, and reliability teams to access new systems in development. Partnering with electrical engineering teams and other subject-matter experts, you will triage, debug, perform failure analysis, and manage the hardware deployed in these labs.

You will be a crucial technical resource, leveraging your expertise in server platforms and electrical engineering to tackle complex problems. Join us and be a part of our dynamic team!

You will support early product development life-cycle by setting up data center hardware, running tests on pre-production hardware and document results. Build, maintain, and debug both custom and OEM hardware to support multiple programs. Deploy proof of concept hardware, software setup, and/or piloting of new hardware for use at scale in the data center. This includes testing under various environmental conditions for power and temperature.

You will collaborate cross-functionally with multiple teams, including hardware development, validation, data center, logistics, software development, etc.

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4-8 years in systems engineering, hardware integration, or manufacturing engineering in a server or HPC environment.
• Hands-on experience with SoC troubleshooting, board-level debug, failure analysis and diagnostics, including low- and high-speed system interconnects, memory subsystem, power management, and distribution.
• Experience working in lab environments at scale.
• Strong server architecture expertise, including component firmware upgrade processes.
• Hardware, firmware and OS-level debugging experience using SEL, kernel logs, system logs, and debug commands.
• Working knowledge of provisioning and boot processes (UEFI, DHCP, DNS, PXE/Netboot).
• Proficient in Python and Bash (or equivalent), with experience automating infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and validation workflows (e.g., with Ansible).

• MS degree with 3-5 years of relevant experience.
• NPI experience with data center server hardware, custom ASICs/SoCs, or high-density server environments.
• Experience troubleshooting elusive issues that present as software problems but originate in server hardware or firmware, including debugging interactions between high-speed buses, firmware, and OS behavior.
