  • Design and deploy automated test scripts (Python/Bash) to drive hardware testing. Automate fault-injection sequences and data collection to improve test coverage and engineering efficiency.

  • Manage and troubleshoot local lab networking environments, utilizing standard management protocols such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for monitoring and Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) for out-of-band hardware management.

  • Translate regulatory requirements into actionable test plans for liquid-cooled and air-cooled high-density racks.

  • Partner with Design Teams during early-stage prototyping to identify risks. Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for safety-related failures and influence hardware design to mitigate arc-flash and thermal runaway risks.
