We are seeking an experienced system debug engineer with strong background in the cloud/datacenter domain. In this position, you will play a key role in realizing vision to work closely with Foxconn’s biggest customers: CSPs to enable and scale out Foxconn latest server platforms and technologies. This position will have a chance to touch cutting-edge silicon, server hardware technologies and emerging firmware and OS solutions, and apply them to the CSPs.
Responsibilities include:
• Mastering the latest Intel/AMD/Ampere hardware and platform features. Tracking the enabling status of those features in silicon, low-level firmware/software, Operating System and latest Linux Upstream Kernel.
• Debug customer data-center issues related to platform enabling and customization. Deep dive and root cause silicon enabling and system integration issues to sub system or source code level.
• Closely collaborate with silicon enabling, firmware development, and various component teams from third-party vendors (e.g., memory, storage, network, power and performance, thermal/mechanical, I/O, etc.) to troubleshoot and debug cross-discipline and complex integration issues on server platforms. Drive debug taskforce cross functions to ensure timely issue resolution.
• Contribute to the definition of new platforms with software architecture and development teams, support platform bring-up activities, review designs and code changes
• Contribute to validation team on improving test plan/method to validate features and verify fixes
• Put new technology into practice in the fastest manner, explore all possible alternatives for better solution, and pursue constant improvement on debug methodology and tool
• Define and drive the system debug process implementation and ingredient owner engagement and alignment
Qualifications:
The candidate should possess a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or relevant technology (advanced degree is preferred) with 5+ years of applicable industrial experience in the following:
• Solid understanding of x86/IA with design experience or working knowledge on CPU, DIMM, Chipset and Platform
• Strong low-level debugging skills that enable the root causing of issues across hardware, firmware and OS levels
• Experience with ASSET SCANWORKS, Intel ITP and Cscript development. Experience with PythonSV or programming with Python. In-depth knowledge of CPU flows and experience on silicon level debug and ASD (e.g. CrashDump Analysis) are preferred
• Solid understanding and hands-on development/validation experience of popular server/PC technologies including PCI/PCI-E, USB, SAS/SATA, i2C/SMBUS, IPMI, BIOS/EFI and DIMM, Storage, Networking, Virtualization, Manageability, Security, RAS, etc.
• Understanding of Operating System, Driver, BIOS and firmware fundamentals. Programming skills (e.g. C/C++) that enable the source code level debug and issue fix is highly preferred.
• Experience at model-based problem solving that enable the effective investigation and narrow-down of complex issues;
• Demonstrated capability to work within a team environment facing fast-changing requirements and complicated stakeholders.
