    Job Details:

    Job Description:

    • Own end-to-end issue management across silicon and software programs, from issue sighting through root cause, fix validation, and closure.
    • Perform technical debugging, failure isolation, reproduction, and root cause analysis across firmware, BIOS, kernel, drivers, OS, power, platform, and ecosystem component.
    • Drive issue resolution across cross-functional teams including validation, development, firmware, architecture, COEs, product groups, and external stakeholders until closure.
    • Assess issue exposure, tracking critical blockers, supporting release readiness decisions, and ensuring product quality criteria are met.
    • Support customer and field escalations by investigating customer-reported failures, partnering with customer-facing teams, determining impact, and driving corrective actions.
    • Hands on debug involving ticket triage, failure history review, lab bring-up, physical inspection, hypothesis validation, and escalation when required.
    • Maintain accurate technical documentation including debug evidence, reproduction steps, root cause findings, corrective actions, disposition, traceability, and closure records.
    • Manage issue prioritization, program-level exposure tracking, status reporting, metrics, dashboard accuracy, and overall ticket database health.
    • Improve engineering efficiency through debug automation, AI-enabled workflows, creation of new skills and agents, tooling enhancements, and process optimization.
    • Provide knowledge sharing and best practices across the organization and teams.
    • Provide recommendation and fixes to validation test coverage on improvements in log enablement, test content and automation scripts and efficiency improvements which will reduce the initial triage time

    • Proficiency with kernel debugger.
    • Hands-on experience debugging kernel panics, system hangs, and memory leaks
    • Strong understanding of the x86 boot flow.
    • Solid background writing, debugging, and patching device drivers (e.g., PCIe, USB/Type-C, Ethernet/NIC drivers, memory controllers)
    • Experience with physical hardware protocols: PCIe Gen5/Gen6, I2C, SMBus, eSPI, and SPI
    • Cross-Layer Triage: Driving root-cause analysis (RCA) to determine whether a platform failure is caused by a hardware design defect, a BIOS configuration issue, or a driver bug.
    • Good understanding of AI to create skills and agents using Claude or copilot and implement for use case needs
