THE ROLE Drive the evolution of high-performance, energy-efficient storage solutions built specifically for hyperscale environments. As a key technical contributor in Everpure’s Hyperscale Line of Business, you will collaborate directly with hyperscale customers, ODM/JDM partners, and internal engineering teams to translate complex requirements into robust, deployment-ready hardware. Your goal is to maximize storage platform density and total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) optimization by taking cutting-edge designs from initial architecture through rigorous validation to full-scale production.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead End-to-End Hardware Qualification: Plan, implement, and automate hardware design validation projects in partnership with hyperscale customers and ODM/JDM vendors to guarantee production readiness, signal integrity, and long-term reliability.

• Drive System Hardening and Debugging: Perform root-cause failure analysis, analyze high-speed protocol captures, and resolve complex electrical, thermal, and firmware-hardware interaction issues to maintain peak platform availability.

• Optimize Hardware Architecture: Review high-speed bus interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, Serial Busses) and evaluate thermal cooling trade-offs to ensure sub-system components meet rigorous hyperscale efficiency standards.

• Accelerate Cross-Functional Productization: Partner across software engineering, operations, and manufacturing teams to integrate emerging storage technologies seamlessly into new and existing platform architectures.

• Elevate Engineering Standards: Develop automated qualification frameworks and process improvements that elevate platform consistency, streamline test workflows, and mentor team members.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Hardware Design & Qualification Expertise: Demonstrated expertise in qualifying complex server, storage, or accelerated computing platforms at the electrical, protocol, and functional levels.

• Technical Deep-Dive Capabilities: Proficient in high-speed signal analysis (using oscilloscopes and bus analyzers), coupled with a firm understanding of system thermal dynamics, NVMe drives, and power distribution architectures.

• Firmware & Systems Integration Proficiency: Hands-on experience navigating OS/kernel-level hardware debugging tools and working with system firmware (BIOS, BMC) to isolate and fix sub-system failures.

• Test Automation & Scripting Mastery: Proven ability to build, automate, and scale hardware validation test beds using scripting languages (such as Python or BASH).

• Cross-Functional & Partner Leadership: Strong collaborative drive and communication skills necessary to lead technical initiatives with external hyperscale customers, manufacturing partners, and internal engineering teams.

• Location: We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara office in compliance with Everpure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
