Principal Systems Engineer - Hardware

• Lead in cross-boundary issue triage, debug, and resolution
• Architect cloud test scenarios and guide software engineers to automate test flows
• Develop guidelines for validation strategies, manufacturing, system bring-up, and system evaluation
• Enable platform and solution level discussions, influencing architecture of the product and delivering to the quality goals across reliability, safety, manufacturability, serviceability, and performance
• Learn, analyze, and work with new interfaces and subsystems, break down complex issues, and collaborate across cross-functional teams to resolve issues in a timely manner
• Be part of the concept design discussions, gather node/rack system level requirements, clarify interfaces, provide feedback into future design requirements to help develop robust and high-performance cloud hardware solutions
• Gather all the system engineering requirements for the infrastructure components by working with engineering groups and other stakeholders
• Develop test strategy, test-cases and execute platform validation plans of the systems (node/rack level)
• Work with ODMs, other system engineers, internal design teams and customers to develop validation execution plans for new technologies and MSFT IP features
• Use statistical analysis methods to identify highly complex issues that may affect a range of feature or product design changes
• Identify possible solutions to novel and complex problems
• Own the engineering interface between the customer and development teams across silicon, platform, ODM vendors, and the factory test/calibration team in the form of a test/user scenario development
• Collaborate in design reviews between dev teams and development suppliers
• Perform NUD module feature analysis against supplier’s capabilities and provide risk mitigation for identified gaps and schedule impact assessment
