Our lab environment supports many Intel market segments, including client and server CPU, PCH, SoC, GPU, and Memory Controllers. We are dedicated to driving innovation and excellence in the semiconductor industry.

As a Quality and Reliability System Engineer, you will collaborate with partner teams to define, enable, and execute system stress experiments that align with product and platform timelines. These experiments typically involve controlling frequency, voltage, and temperature while running test benchmarks to artificially age and characterize parts. Your role will be pivotal in driving innovation by developing new software solutions to reduce costs, expand capabilities, and improve the quality of our testing processes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Innovative Experimentation: Develop and execute system stress experiments based on product requirements in both Windows and Linux environments.

• Automation Mastery: Automate system stress flows to control voltage, temperature, and frequency.

• Tool Development: Create and refine test tools and scripts to debug and validate system test content.

• Workload Optimization: Analyze and tune workloads to optimize their effectiveness within system-level stress experiments.

• Insightful Analysis: Analyze and report on stress testing results, providing insights and recommendations for improvements.

Qualifications:

Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry-relevant job experience, internship experiences, and or schoolwork/classes/research.
