Key responsibilities include:
- Perform system-level hardware DVT, power/thermal characterization and measurements, and component validations (memory, PSU, optics)
- Develop and execute system and component-level EDVT test plans, test matrices, and characterization tests
- Develop Python automation for EDVT, failure analysis, instrumentation control, and long-duration testing
- Debug complex hardware failures and drive root-cause analysis using electrical measurements, system logs, and controlled experiments
- Validate ASIC-based networking systems, optics, memory, PSU, and other critical components
- Work closely with hardware, ASIC, software, NPI, manufacturing, and other engineering teams to resolve EDVT issues and meet product milestones
- Support multiple validation programs and contribute reusable validation methodologies and automation across Arista products
