Own end-to-end failure analysis across hardware, firmware, silicon, and integration for Helios server platform bring-up and system-level failures. Serve as the firmware SME to debug and isolate whether issues stem from BIOS/BMC/CPLD/PMBus/POST/PCIe, power sequencing, register state, silicon, component quality, or cross-domain interactions. Lead structured debug plans, use lab instrumentation and logs to drive evidence-based RCA, and coordinate corrective actions across cross-functional teams.

Location: United States
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Hospitality & Food Service

Key Responsibilities

  • •Lead end-to-end failure analysis and root cause ownership for Helios server platform bring-up, factory, customer, and system-level failures.
  • •Perform platform bring-up debug across BIOS, BMC, CPLD, PMBus, POST, PCIe enumeration, high-speed interconnect initialization, resets, clocks, power sequencing, and configuration domains.
  • •Determine whether failures are driven by firmware behavior, hardware design, component quality, silicon behavior, power delivery, manufacturing process, configuration, or cross-domain interaction issues.
  • •Develop and execute structured debug plans using register dumps, logs, telemetry, POST codes, schematics/board layouts, oscilloscope captures, and logic analyzer traces.
  • •Automate debug data collection and correlation (log parsing, register analysis) using Python, Linux tools, scripting, and data analysis workflows.

Key Requirements

  • •Hands-on systems integration and server platform bring-up experience with complex server or hyperscale systems.
  • •Deep competency debugging across BIOS, BMC, CPLD, PMBus, POST, PCIe enumeration, resets, clocks, power sequencing, register state, and high-speed interconnect initialization flows.
  • •Ability to isolate failures across firmware-controlled hardware behavior and identify whether root cause is firmware, hardware design, silicon behavior, component quality, power delivery, manufacturing, or configuration.
  • •Proficiency with lab validation and instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, digital multimeters, power supplies, telemetry/register access utilities).
  • •Experience analyzing register dumps and logs (BIOS/BMC/FW logs, POST codes, event logs, telemetry, diagnostics, schematic evidence) to produce evidence-based RCA conclusions.
