Principal Validation Engineer, Telecom Systems Business (TSB)

Join us as a Principal Validation Engineer in the Telecom Systems Business (TSB) Infrastructure Engineering team where you will play a key role in the test and validation of our server, storage, and networking platforms.

What you’ll achieve

You’ll define and execute test methodologies of current and next-generation hardware platforms targeted for the telecommunications industry. Through both direct hands-on lab work and remote work in a hybrid work environment, you’ll configure the hardware platforms, BIOS, firmware, and add-in cards and you will test various functionality and performance aspects of the systems. You’ll develop test plans and execute them on multiple generations of hardware. You’ll form opinions on improvements to the architecture or to the system configurations, and you’ll help incorporate your opinions into the specification of future generations of the products. You’ll grow to become an expert in modern hardware architecture with a specialty in the 5G radio-access network (RAN) domain. You’ll engage internally across Dell’s engineering community, with vendors, and with customers. You’ll research differences in modern CPU architectures and the various trade-offs between compute performance, power consumption, thermal efficiency, and cost. You’ll have a hand in designing Dell’s products and, ultimately, in the emerging 5G networks across the world.

You will:

• Learn modern server hardware architectures and experiment in a hands-on lab setting
• Apply telecom-specific test requirements to prove functionality and performance on physical hardware
• Execute test plans in the lab and evaluate the conformance of the hardware against the test plan
• Define and implement new test methodologies to reduce test time and increase test coverage
• Implement a continuous improvement process for test plans, test cases, and automation during and after test projects
• Collaborate with and be mentored by senior technologists with expertise in server architecture and in radio-access networks (RANs)
