About the role

  • RDT campaigns to demonstrate lifetime reliability and field-equivalent stress.
  • 4-corner validation across temp / voltage / workload / media stress.
  • Customer-mode validation, including customer-specific feature modes, power / perf limits, and telemetry/OCP profiles.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end RDT and reliability demonstration plans for new SSDs, including workloads, sample plans, stress levels, and pass/fail criteria.
  • Develop and automate test content, harnesses, and CI/regression integration in Python/Linux-based environments.
  • Analyze logs and telemetry to debug issues, drive JIRA closure, and partner with NAND/FW/HW/systems/analytics teams on fixes and dashboards.
  • We build each other up and set aside ego for the greater good.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in SSD, storage, or hardware reliability / validation, ideally with enterprise or hyperscale products.
  • Strong understanding of NAND flash fundamentals (P/E cycling, wear-out, read-disturb, retention, ECC, PLP/holdup) and how they map into reliability tests.
  • Hands-on experience with RDT / ALT / ORT or equivalent reliability demonstration programs for SSDs or similar embedded products.
  • Expert-level knowledge of industry-standard qualification and compliance frameworks,
  • Familiarity with NVMe / PCIe concepts (basic command flows, admin vs I/O path, error reporting, SMART/Telemetry, OCP extensions).
  • Experience using test automation and CI (e.g., Jenkins, lab frameworks) to run large-scale, long-running test campaigns.
  • Proficient in reliability statistics and acceleration modeling for lifetime projections, with practical experience leveraging data science libraries and stat.
  • Proficient in JEDEC specifications, OCP datacenter storage profiles, and NVMe architectural requirements. Expert-level knowledge of industry-standard qualification and compliance frameworks,
  • Practical experience designing and executing 4-corner or environmental stress tests (voltage, temperature, workload corners).
  • Strong Python (or similar) skills for test and tooling development
  • comfortable working in Linux-based lab environments.
  • Solid data analysis skills to interpret error logs, telemetry, and large test datasets
  • able to turn data into clear engineering conclusions.
  • #LI-ONSITE
