Sr Staff Test Engineer

About the role

Senior Staff Test Engineer is a highly technical leadership role responsible for defining and driving system-level validation strategies for server platforms across development and production environments. This role focuses on evaluating and integrating changes that impact manufacturing test systems, including firmware (BMC, BIOS, switch firmware), test infrastructure, and automation. You will apply deep expertise in server architecture, networking, and power systems to assess risk, design validation methodologies, and ensure changes are safely deployed without impacting production stability. As a key technical authority, you will collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and customer-facing teams to drive root cause analysis, improve validation coverage, and establish scalable test solutions.

This role requires strong hands-on capability in system debugging, rack-level networking, and test tool development (both software and hardware), along with the ability to influence technical decisions and elevate engineering standards across the organization.
