About The Position

We’re in an unbelievably exciting area of tech and are fundamentally reshaping the data storage industry. Here, you lead with innovative thinking, grow along with us, and join the smartest team in the industry. This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us. THE ROLE The Pure Engineering Team builds the industry’s most innovative, high-performance, and highly available portfolio of products that are designed for the most demanding mission critical applications. While we deliver a hardware storage array, over 90% of our engineering staff are software engineers. Our customers are the most important part of our business and they love FlashArray for its simplicity of management, the constant flow of new and exciting upgrades, and ability to live on the cutting edge of technology while never taking downtime, ever. These new innovations enable our customers to leverage the agility of the public cloud for both traditional IT and cloud-native applications. WHAT YOU'LL DO Responsibilities include plan, lead, implement, debug HW design and qualification projects. Help debug testbeds and HW related escalation both internal and external Participation in all phases of the product development cycle including design, documentation, eDVT, FA and support for custom HW design Define, implement and automate HW validation and qualification tests Strong understanding of X86 architecture and proven design track record Solid understanding of Major Bus technology SAS/SATA, PCIe, UPI, Serial Busses (I2c, I3c, SPI, SVID, etc.) Solid understanding and ability to analyse high speed signals and comfortable with High Speed Oscilloscopes, bus analyzers (getting trace capture and perform analysis) Analysis and review of device and system-level power regulators, PWM selection & design, cooling and electrical (SI) functionality Improve design and qualification processes to enhance efficiency, consistency, and product robustness Setting up and running stress tests including industry standard tools : PTU, Mprime, Iometer, LinPack, etc. Qualification of CPU subsystems including DDR4/5 memory, PCIe cards (Fiber Channel, ISCSI, SAS, etc.), PCH chipsets, BMC, LOM, and peripherals Work cross-functionally with engineering, operations, Mfg. Test, and support to introduce new storage subsystems into production Perform failure and root cause analysis activities in support of system hardening efforts and customer escalations Provide guidance and mentoring to other team members
