Top Must-Haves

L10 / System-Level Platform Validation HIGHEST PRIORITY
We need a true L10/System-Level Validation Engineer, not someone focused primarily on L6 component-level testing.
Experience validating complete server/platform systems, including server bring-up, integration, diagnostics and end-to-end validation.
Candidate should be able to understand system dependencies and independently identify where failures originate.
Experience with third-party/OEM servers and internal/proprietary drives is highly relevant.
Python / Shell Test Automation MUST HAVE
Candidate must be capable of writing validation/test scripts from scratch.
Should not be limited to executing existing scripts or making minor modifications.
Must be able to independently develop, debug and maintain Python/Shell automation.
Should be comfortable creating test cases, executing validation, analyzing failures and improving automation.
BMC / Redfish MUST HAVE
Hands-on experience with BMC, preferably Redfish/API-based server management and diagnostics.

Validation Level Expectations

L6: Component/board-level validation, probing, electrical testing useful but not sufficient by itself.
L7: Subsystem-level validation good-to-have.
L10: MOST CRITICAL system/platform-level validation, integration, automation and debugging.
L11: Networking/advanced network validation LOW PRIORITY. Basic networking fundamentals are sufficient.
