(#5949504003) Early Entry Sr. Assistant Engineer, NVMe Test Engineer

What You’ll Do

The Functional Verification Test Development team is dedicated to ensuring comprehensive test coverage for validating new features, focusing on NVMe (non-volatile memory express) and PCIe (peripheral component interconnect express) functionalities. They develop testing strategies and methodologies tailored to meet the unique requirements of different OEMs, ensuring that the final product surpasses the highest standards of functionality and reliability.

You’ll focus on addressing challenges related to issue triaging during regular test cycles while playing a vital role in developing in-system stress tests. As you progress, you’ll have opportunities to learn advanced testing workflow & implementation, basic functionalities in NVMe spec, MSVP triaging support, and so much more.

• Collaborate with firmware developers and system architects to understand firmware specifications and design test cases accordingly.
• Develop and execute test plans for NVMe storage devices, including functional testing, stress testing to validate SSD firmware on embedded multi-core architectures
• Analyze test results and work closely with the development team to identify and debug firmware issues.
• Automate test cases using scripting languages (e.g., Python) and test automation frameworks to improve testing efficiency and coverage.
• Document test procedures, results, and findings in detailed reports for internal and external stakeholders.
• Participate in cross-functional team meetings to discuss project progress, challenges, and solutions.
• Stay up to date with industry trends, standards, and best practices related to NVMe technology and firmware testing methodologies.
• Complete other responsibilities as assigned.
