As a Principal Engineer, you will be part of the Firmware Verification Team that design and develop white box and grey box tests in Python to verify firmware designs of Storage systems for AI workloads. You will be working closely with product architects and firmware engineers to create a comprehensive firmware verification test. In this role, you will be technically leading a high energy team, contributing to test strategy, test development, integrating the tests using various development platforms and perform failure analysis. This role demands strong hands-on experience with understanding of NAND architecture design, data path validation, handling of NAND level errors, and firmware/hardware debugging across multiple platforms (pre-silicon, emulation, silicon bring-up)
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate closely with firmware engineers & architects on product architecture and designs to define the comprehensive verification plan to deliver a high quality product to customers on time
- Design, Develop and Integrate the white box and gray box tests on SSD products in roadmap inline with latest methodologies
- Conduct test plan reviews and code reviews to ensure the tests are scalable and meeting the requirements
- Participate in driving failure analysis and collaborate with integration/execution engineers for test deployment.
- Work with memory (NAND ) systems team, to understand the implementation of algorithms handling IO paths, behavior of NAND when single bit or double bit level error occurs, correction mechanisms, etc
- Work with firmware engineers, understand the logs/events to triage and debug test failures
- Use SanDisk proprietary tools and open-source test frameworks to run, monitor, and triage test suites
