Office of the CTO (Chief Technology Officer).

As we continue to grow and introduce new datacenter infrastructure technologies, the need for comprehensive test strategies that ensure product readiness becomes critical.

Working closely with product development teams, datacenter design, supply chain, quality, operations, and others the test engineering team ensures high quality requirements up front that not only drive clarity into product design direction but allow for deterministic testing that validates readiness against clear pass/fail criteria. Additionally, the test engineering team provides detailed test reporting that demonstrates product readiness and brings insights to defects detected and potential remediation.

Required/Minimum Qualifications:

• 12+ years relevant technical engineering experience
  • OR Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field AND 5+ years technical engineering experience
  • OR Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience
  • OR Doctorate Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field AND 2+ years technical engineering experience.
• 4+ years of experience with datacenter technologies in the electrical space
• 4+ years experience in functional test with high-volume production targets as a test engineer

Other Requirements:

Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings:
