System Product Engineer (New or Recent Graduate)
About The Position
Sandisk is seeking a System Product Engineer, suitable for new or recent graduates, to build foundational infrastructure including simulation, automation, and AI-assisted workflows. This role offers the opportunity to shape system test development within a small, high-impact team. The engineer will build AI-native validation and test infrastructure to enable early system learning and workload-driven validation across the product lifecycle, reducing reliance on late-stage integration environments. The position operates across compute, memory, and storage subsystems, correlating real workloads with system behavior.
Requirements
- BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science
- 0–5+ years in validation, modeling, infrastructure development, or related fields
- Fresh PhD graduates with relevant research experience are encouraged to apply
- Strong Python skills; C/C++ a plus
- Experience or research background in system modeling, simulation, or workload analysis
- Understanding of data movement and performance behavior across system components
- Ability to rapidly absorb complex system architecture and translate understanding into engineering artifacts
- Builder mindset — tools, frameworks, infrastructure
- Strong system and data intuition
- Hands-on coder or effective AI workflow orchestrator — non-negotiable
- Comfortable working in ambiguous, early-stage environments
Responsibilities
- Develop and analyze AI workloads, focusing on memory access characterization and data movement behavior.
- Generate trace-based and synthetic stress patterns for system-level validation.
- Build lightweight simulation and emulation environments (e.g., QEMU-based system models and customized modeling) for early validation and scalable development environment.
- Map workload to test prior to hardware availability.
- Reduce dependency on full-system emulation/real hardware through independent, scalable frameworks.
- Build C/C++/Python-based automation frameworks with parallel execution, structured logging, and scalable data pipelines.
- Build and maintain spec-to-code pipelines: convert product specifications into structured formats for AI-assisted code generation and automated validation.
- Integrate AI tools for test content generation, debug acceleration, and log analysis.
- Develop workload-aware test firmware aligned with system-level use cases.
- Enable functional coverage based on real workloads, not synthetic-only scenarios.
- Build pipelines for data collection, failure classification, and pattern detection.
- Apply ML techniques where appropriate for anomaly detection and failure clustering.
- Map workload behavior to system stress and device-level impact, enabling translation between real workloads and production test coverage.
- Correlate across compute, memory, and storage subsystems.
Benefits
- paid vacation time
- paid sick leave
- medical/dental/vision insurance
- life, accident and disability insurance
- tax-advantaged flexible spending and health savings accounts
- employee assistance program
- other voluntary benefit programs such as supplemental life and AD&D, legal plan, pet insurance, critical illness, accident and hospital indemnity
- tuition reimbursement
- transit
- the Applause Program
- employee stock purchase plan
- Sandisk's Savings 401(k) Plan
- Short-Term Incentive (STI) Plan
- Long-Term Incentive (LTI) program (restricted stock units (RSUs) or cash equivalents)
