Job Description

The Test SW developer is responsible for testing Enterprise and Data Center platforms spanning both commercial and reference board and system designs, and works in a multi-geo, cross functional organization supporting Outsourced Design and Manufacturing sites world-wide. In this role, you will design, develops, integrates, tests, validates, and/or debugs software across multiple layers of the software stack spanning firmware, drivers, operating systems, middleware, frameworks, algorithms, and applications/UI for a specific technology, product/platform, and/or market segment, including the development of software to enable specific features, capabilities, solutions, reference platforms, or Intel products.
DEO/PED test development team develops test solutions for the latest generation reference boards and systems. In addition to supporting Intel own RP products, Intel Diagnostics is packaged as a standalone product targeted at the major server OEMs and Tier 1 and Tier 2 Integrators to enable their system integration facilities with Intel diagnostics tools. As a software engineer, you will be responsible to keep up with the latest enterprise server IA and system level technologies. Responsibilities would also include working with various Si, Validation and Platform design teams at Intel to do new product technology path finding where product and technology specifications and definitions are synthesized into a Manufacturing and Validation Test Strategy proposal. Test strategies then go through a series of peer and management reviews to address technical and business feasibility. Ratified test strategies then require a development plan and schedule estimation that fits within the planned Product Milestones. Test software development would ensue, with final test collateral documented, released, and deployed. The team currently owns an extensive list of test collateral across UEFI and Linux test environments.

The Test Software Engineer requires an extensive system level knowledge of both Software, Hardware, and the level at which they interact.

Responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Develop system-level test software: Design, code, test, and debug tailored software in C/C++ and Python for testing of server products.
• Test strategy development: Contribute to the development of test strategies and plans for server products, focusing on system-level testing.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Work closely with hardware engineers, software developers, and QA teams to understand testing requirements and provide effective solutions.
• Debugging and issue resolution: Identify, isolate, and troubleshoot software defects and performance issues to ensure accurate and reliable test results.
• Documentation: Create and maintain detailed documentation of test procedures, software designs, and best practices for knowledge sharing within the team.
