THE PERSON:
In this role, the Validation Technical Program Manager will serve as the key technical leader responsible for end‑to‑end rack‑level server solution validation. This position works cross‑functionally to define, develop, and execute comprehensive validation test strategies that ensure product functionality and compliance with specifications and requirements, including firmware and software stacks.
The role encompasses validation across board, system, and rack‑level integration, including electrical, power, mechanical, thermal, shock and vibration, compliance, system integration, platform validation, reliability, and firmware domains.
This individual will lead triage and debug efforts, identify root causes, and drive timely issue resolution. The role requires close collaboration with architecture, mechanical design, platform, firmware, and system engineering teams throughout all phases of the design process.
Strong judgment is essential in defining test specifications, requirements, strategies, and methodologies across electrical, firmware, and platform‑level validation. The TPM will lead test planning and execution, manage schedules, track requirements, summarize results, and develop validation documentation.
