As a System verification engineer you will play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and reliability of the next IBM power processor and systemResponsibilities for this role include collaboration with the processor development engineers, system development engineers, system characterization engineers, and project management. Skills critical to success in this role include system characterization, hardware design, hardware debug, microprocessor verification, and generic coding of scripts.This position is a high-profile position and requires you to work closely with the above teams to develop tests for new processors and new systems being shipped to customers. You will need to have an intimate knowledge of processors and how they react to thermal, voltage, and frequency changes so you can test the limits and ensure we are shipping a quality product.An effective engineer in this role will:
* Utilize design documentation, such as Functional Specifications and high-level design documents to develop IBM hardware and technology products including server systems, and associated processor, memory, and I/O subsystems.
* Collaborate with processor, memory, I/O and systems teams to understand requirements and develop tests to verify specifications.
* Define and develop software tool for functional validation, module characterization, and system-level qualification.
* Contribute to product quality deliverables that have direct impact to product development and business objectives.
· Knowledge of hardware development and system bring-up and methodologies (4+ years)· Proven experience in system characterization, verification or validation.· Ability to manage workload stress and work with technical experts on how to develop more effective tests.· Basic knowledge of computer architecture, systems design, etc.Strong analytical skills, debug experience and a drive for failure analysis to identify root cause and deliver resolution.
* BS Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent degree study program
* Coding Skills: C, C++, Python
* Familiarity with the POWER processor micro-architecture
* Good understanding of processor power management
* Ability to work with Hardware diagnostic equipment, scopes, DVM, analyzers, etc.
* Ability to read schematics, board files, technical documents
* Ability to collaborate with extended teams (thermal, power, manufacturing, design, firmware, etc.)
* Ability to develop and drive test plans
* Ability to develop and utilize software tools for validation and characterization.Demonstrated communication skills both written and spoken
