Member Of Technical Staff - Drive Qual
THE ROLE
As a Staff Software Engineer within our Drive Qualification Center of Excellence, you will be the technical architect ensuring the world-class reliability of Everpure developed SSDs. You will own the validation strategy for hyperscale and system-level performance, transforming complex NAND and NVMe challenges into seamless, high-performance storage solutions. Collaborating across Firmware, Systems, and Program teams, you will move beyond simple testing to define the mission-critical readiness of the Everpure Platform.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Architect Validation Strategy: Define and own the end-to-end test strategy for major domains including NAND reliability, PCIe Gen6, and OCP compliance, establishing the entry/exit criteria that guarantee product maturity.
Lead Technical Innovation: Design and implement advanced validation suites and automation frameworks-integrating Everpure HYVE-based tools with Jenkins CI pipelines-to scale testing across global hyperscale customers.
Drive Complex Debugging: Act as the lead investigator for system-level failures, performing deep-dive forensics on NVMe/OCP logs and telemetry to identify root causes and verify high-impact firmware fixes.
Influence Product Readiness: Represent the Drive Qualification team in cross-functional forums, providing data-driven insights to FW release councils and quality reviews to determine launch risks and coverage.
Elevate Engineering Talent: Set the technical bar for the Bangalore team by mentoring senior engineers (IC3/IC4), conducting high-level code reviews, and evolving one-off prototypes into scalable, production-grade validation tools.
WHAT YOU BRING
Storage & Protocol Expertise: Extensive experience in SSD or firmware validation with deep technical mastery of NVMe, PCIe protocols, and OCP specifications, specifically regarding power-loss robustness and data integrity.
Systems Engineering & Python Mastery: Expert-level Python skills for building modular, maintainable automation frameworks and experience managing large shared codebases within a Linux-heavy CI/CD environment.
Technical Leadership & Impact: A proven history of leading complex validation projects through the full lifecycle (from ES to GA) and the ability to define success metrics using data analytics platforms like Snowflake or Tableau.
NAND Fundamentals: Comprehensive understanding of NAND policy and reliability, including P/E cycling, wear-out, and read-disturb behavior under enterprise-grade stress.
Location: We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Bangalore office in compliance with Everpure's policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
