About the RoleWe are looking for a passionate Staff System Software Validation Engineer to help design, execute and debug test plans for hyperscale HW/FW platforms. The Staff System Software Validation Engineer is to engage with multi-disciplinary teams in the areas of System Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Firmware, etc. to help with validation activities, that would include adapting and creating SW/scripts, generate test plans, and lead the execution of such test plans on our labs.The System Software Validation Engineer's responsibilities include translating user requirements, defining system functionality, running test plans, writing code in various languages (among them Shell scripting and Python and troubleshooting.

What You will Do
  • Work with cross-functional engineering teams (hardware, firmware, and software) within ZT Systems to gather requirements about validation tasks in order to design a solution to execute those plans relying on the current ZT validation infrastructure (SW frameworks, tools, etc).
  • Write new scripts/tools on top of our validation infrastructure to satisfy the requirements, and help to release and deploy such new SW following industry-best-practices so that these modules can be re-used/adapted for future projects.
  • Help to execute validation plans for datacenter HW platforms, from bench level to rack level.
  • Coordinate test effort preparation and track requirements, schedules and actions.
  • Help to improve validation infrastructure to address new requirements, as well as write new validation SW modules and extensions to the core framework.
  • Review, track, document and summarize test results to be consumed internally at ZT as well as to be presented to customer

  • 5+ years of experience writing SW for validation, that may include scripting as well as the use of higher-level languages such as Python.
  • Must feel comfortable wearing multiple hats, from helping to design and implement new SW modules for validation, to lead the debugging of a HW issue in the lab, putting together a validation schedule; and anything in-between.
