• Lead cross-functional debug of critical system-level issues across hardware (electrical, mechanical, thermal) and firmware domains

• Perform hands-on root cause analysis of failures observed during system validation, production, or in-field operation

• Collaborate with electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, thermal engineers, firmware developers, and manufacturing teams to develop and validate fixes

• Develop and implement detailed tests and experiments to identify and recreate intricate issues

• Develop tools, scripts, and automation to accelerate debug workflows

• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to cross-functional teams

• Document debug procedures, findings, and mitigation plans clearly and concisely

• Drive corrective and preventive action processes with suppliers and internal teams

What we need to see:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields (or equivalent experience)

• 10+ years of experience in system-level debug in data center/server or similar hardware platforms

• Deep understanding of system architecture including CPUs, memory, high-speed I/Os, power delivery, thermal management, and firmware

• Proven experience in debugging electrical issues (e.g., signal integrity, power integrity), thermal issues (e.g., airflow, cooling design), and firmware anomalies (e.g., BIOS/UEFI, BMC)

• Proficiency in tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and firmware debug equipment/utilities

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work across fields and teams

• Experience working with contract manufacturers and suppliers is a plus
