Member Of Technical Staff- Firmware Validation

THE ROLE

As a Firmware Validation Engineer, you will be the guardian of reliability for the Everpure™ DirectFlash™ Module (DFM)—the high-performance heart of our FlashArray and FlashBlade solutions. You will move beyond standard testing to architect validation strategies that exploit the DFM’s unique hardware-software integration, ensuring our NAND technology outperforms traditional off-the-shelf SSDs. Collaborating with Hardware and Systems teams, your mission is to deliver bulletproof firmware that powers the world’s most scalable enterprise storage.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Architect Comprehensive Test Suites: Design and implement end-to-end firmware validation modules for the Everpure™ DFM, specifically targeting complex exception and error-path scenarios to ensure 100% design coverage.

• Drive Firmware Stability: Own the development and execution of automated regression suites (nightly and weekly), providing the critical "go/no-go" signals for milestone-specific firmware releases.

• Lead Failure Analysis: Investigate and debug deep-level firmware issues using C/C++ and Python, while building custom failure analysis tools that accelerate root-cause identification across the engineering org.

• Optimize Continuous Integration: Integrate automated unit and regression testing into our CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that every code commit maintains the high-performance standards of the Everpure™ Platform.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with manufacturing and hardware teams to translate hardware specifications into robust validation software that predicts and prevents failure modes in flash-based devices.
