About the Position

Staff Systems Test Operations Engineer

Hsinchu City, Hsinchu City, Taiwan

Help shape how AI hardware reaches production at scale.

As a Staff Hardware System Test Engineer, you will build manufacturing test solutions for advanced AI systems. Your work will help ensure every product meets the highest quality standards before deployment.

You will develop test software, create manufacturing test content, and improve test infrastructure across server modules, blades, and rack scale systems. You will work closely with hardware, firmware, and software engineers to solve complex technical challenges.

This is an opportunity to influence manufacturing test strategy, improve production quality through data, and raise engineering standards across multiple teams.

Responsibilities

• Develop test solutions for high-performance servers, accelerators, or other large-scale compute hardware.
• Drive complex technical work across multiple teams as a technical leader.
• Define test coverage and lead complex root cause investigations.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, software, and platform teams to improve testability and manufacturing quality.
• Utilize Linux, OpenBMC, hardware diagnostics, and scripting or automation using Python, Bash, or similar.

Requirements

Essential

• Experience developing manufacturing test solutions for high-performance servers, accelerators, or other large-scale compute hardware.
• Strong technical leadership as an individual contributor, driving complex technical work across multiple teams.
