Hardware engineer

<span>Introduction</span><span></span><br/>Looking for a Hardware Engineer to work on our EST squad executing and automating test scenarios. This job role provides a wide range of technical experiences, from hardware handling to running programs on a variety of operating systems. It also offers a lot of troubleshooting, investigation and problem resolution. This encompasses several sub-roles including: machine configuration, operation, maintenance, error handling and investigation, troubleshooting bugs, defect reporting, operating system knowledge, and workload execution. In addition, there is a strong desire to transform traditional test methods to a more automated approach which will require a significant amount of programming &amp; scripting. We need someone with the drive to find machine bugs and work with our development team until the issue has been resolved. A team player is a must! In order to ensure success, the candidate will need a willingness to continuously seek education to build their skills. This, along with a strong desire to replace traditional manually initiated workload/testing with automated execution techniques will be a big plus.<br/><span></span><br/><span>Your Role and Responsibilities</span><span></span> <span><span><span>As the IBM zSystems hardware engineer, you will be responsible for:</span></span></span> <ul> <li><span><span><span>Identifying existing manual test scenarios and workloads and design programmatic automation to replace them</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Executing a variety of stress and functional tests throughout a defined test schedule to ensure a quality product for our mainframe customers</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Working with firmware development to understand the technical details of new firmware features in order to design appropriate test scenarios and workloads to validate them</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Growing knowledge of physical server design and logical constructs behind its operation</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Hardware handling, maintenance, changes and manipulation</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Working with multiple Z mainframe operating systems to execute workloads that are used to verify the latest hardware and firmware deliveries</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Large amount of troubleshooting, investigation and problem resolution</span></span></span></li> </ul> <p><span></span><br/><span>Required Technical and Professional Expertise</span><span></span></p> <ul> <li><span><span><span>6-10 years of experience writing test automation using languages such as Python, bash shell scripting, or something similar</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>3+ years of experience setting up and maintaining Ethernet switches</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>3+ years of experience with RoCE and OSA (OSC 3270, OSC 3215, OSE, OSD)</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Solid understanding of the Windows and Linux operating systems and their command line operations, file systems, and operations</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Outstanding communication skills are key to working within Engineering System Test and with development teams around the world</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Strong team player with good communication (verbal/written) and interpersonal skills</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Ability and drive to dive into unknown hardware architectures and operating systems and grow new technical skills</span></span></span></li> </ul> <p><span></span><br/><span>Preferred Technical and Professional Expertise</span><span></span></p> <ul> <li><span><span><span>2+ years of experience working with Z mainframe systems in some capacity</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Experience with one or more mainframe operating systems.</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Experience with practical applications of the mainframe</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Experience writing and executing test plans with the ability to ensure proper coverage based on customer requirements and workloads, and perform regression testing</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Hardware troubleshooting skills</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Knowledge of Agile practices</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Ability to handle testing and debugging tasks independently </span></span></span></li> </ul> <br/><span>Key Job Details</span><br/> <span>Role:</span>Hardware engineer <span>Location:</span>Bangalore, IN <span>Category:</span>Infrastructure &amp; Technology <span>Employment Type:</span>Full-Time <span>Travel Required:</span>No Travel <span>Contract Type:</span>Regular <span>Company:</span>(0063) IBM India Private Limited <span>Req ID:</span>721355BR <p> </p>
