This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.
THE ROLE
Lead the development, validation, and optimization of manufacturing test solutions for high-performance storage servers and flash storage drive architectures within Pure's fast-paced Hyperscale Business Unit. In this high-impact position, you will drive drive-level to system-level test coverage, efficiency, and product reliability from early NPI bring-up through high-volume production. You will work closely with Hardware Engineering, Test Engineering, Quality, and global manufacturing partners to deliver scalable, bulletproof server infrastructure and flash storage solutions.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Drive L6 & Sub-Server Level Test Coverage: Own end-to-end manufacturing test strategies, diagnostic sequences, and rack-level test infrastructure, with a deep focus on L6 drive-level validation (SSDs, NVMe, PCIe) below the standard server level.
- NPI & DVT Execution: Drive test readiness and execution for critical NPI builds, including upcoming November DVT milestones, ensuring seamless bring-up, comprehensive BOM verification, and early defect detection.
- Cross-Functional System Integration: Partner closely with Hardware, Firmware, Quality, and Operations Engineering to validate early hardware builds for new server SKUs , and Direct Flash Modules (DFMs).custom flash drives, and Direct Flash Modules (DFMs).
- Automation & Diagnostic Tooling: Build and maintain Python or Shell automation scripts, PXE boot environments, and drive diagnostic tools while integrating test logs into manufacturing analytics dashboards for real-time yield visibility.
- Manufacturing & Supply Chain Leadership: Provide hands-on technical leadership, manufacturing test design, and on-site support to global ODM/JDM and contract manufacturing partners during line bring-up, yield optimization, and test escape prevention.
- Quality & Yield Optimization: Collaborate with Quality and Reliability teams to analyze failure data, continuously refine test coverage, enforce strict BOM validation, and drive high First Pass Yield (FPY) across manufacturing lines.
- Manufacturing Data & Scale: Build scalable test infrastructure and data pipelines that convert growing volumes of manufacturing and field data into actionable insights for faster failure detection, predictive quality, yield optimization, and continuous improvement.
WHAT YOU BRING
- Passion for Excellence: Apply a relentless focus on quality, precision, and continuous improvement to ensure every system meets the highest standards and delivers a dependable customer experience.
- Solid State Drive (SSD) / Flash Expertise: Hands-on background with flash memory architectures, NVMe/PCIe drive protocols, SSD firmware integration, and drive-level (L6) failure analysis within enterprise or hyperscale environments.
- Manufacturing & NPI Testing Experience: Proven track record running manufacturing test development, BOM validation, and hardware bring-up through NPI/DVT phases in high-volume compute or storage manufacturing setups.
- Technical & Diagnostic Proficiency: Deep expertise in Linux operating systems, PXE boot frameworks, BMC/IPMI interfaces, low-level storage diagnostics, and scripting languages (Python, Bash).
- Cross-Functional & Vendor Leadership: Strong ability to interface with external ODMs, contract manufacturers, and cross-functional internal teams to debug line issues and enforce quality standards.
- Root-Cause Analysis: Sharp debugging and problem-solving skills spanning hardware, drive interface, firmware, and complex system-level interactions.
- Scalability & Future Readiness: Define a scalable manufacturing test architecture that expands test coverage, automation, data collection, and analytics as customer demand, product complexity, and production volume grow—without compromising throughput, reliability, or maintainability.
