About The Position

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is seeking a Hardware Test Engineer to work on its HPE Cray line of supercomputing hardware. The engineer will work independently and with other HPE engineers to develop and execute test plans validating component-, board-, and system-level electrical hardware. Testing focuses on validating new designs, regression-testing design modifications, and assisting with root-cause analysis and resolution of complex hardware and software problems. The position is designated onsite, with the expectation that the employee will primarily work from an HPE office. The role involves bringing up new systems, improving qualification processes, supporting engineering, manufacturing, and field service teams, and maintaining lab equipment and resources. The engineer will also coordinate work across multiple projects, document and archive test information and hardware status, and track bugs and issues. The position typically requires 4–6 years of test engineering experience and a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. The listed U.S. base salary range is USD 95,800–220,500 annually in Texas and Wisconsin; actual offers may vary by location, experience, education, training, and skill level. Variable incentives may also be offered. HPE describes benefits supporting physical, financial, and emotional wellbeing, as well as programs for personal and professional development.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
Typically 4–6 years of test engineering experience, including bring-up, debugging, and validation of components, complex circuit boards, networks, servers, and systems.
Understanding of functional, integration, and system-level regression testing.
Ability to read complex schematics and trace PCB signals using PCB design-file and Gerber-file viewers.
Ability to conduct systematic board- and system-level debugging, design of experiments, and root-cause analysis.
Familiarity with the Linux shell, scripting languages, and low-level programming.
Experience debugging and testing voltage regulator modules and associated hardware.
Proficiency with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and power-load tools.
Familiarity with communication protocols such as I²C, JTAG, and SPI.
Ability to understand high-level system architecture and the detailed functionality of subsystem building blocks.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office productivity and collaboration tools such as SharePoint.
Knowledge of board hardware and software, and design and test methodologies.
Familiarity with defect-tracking, product lifecycle management, and board-design tools.
Experience creating test-project status reports and metrics, including a test dashboard.
Experience researching and documenting bug reports after discovering a quality problem.
Successful track record working with geographically distributed, cross-functional groups.
Strong organizational, verbal, and written communication skills.

Responsibilities

Drive and support new-system bring-up, including hardware assembly, visual inspection, power-up, and system validation.
Collaborate to evolve and improve qualification processes for more efficient failure detection, prevention, and resolution.
Support engineering, manufacturing, and field service teams through root-cause analysis; evaluate proposed fixes and enhancements; conduct experiments; and communicate recommended changes.
Maintain lab equipment and test resources to high standards while improving lab organization and efficiency.
Coordinate requirements from multiple engineers while keeping multiple projects moving simultaneously.
Develop and document test plans, test results, test and lab processes and procedures, proto-hardware and ECO-level tracking, rework history, and current owners and users.
Post test plans, results, and proto-hardware status in an organized, accessible archive or database.
Track and update bugs and issues in a timely and diligent manner.
