We are looking for a strong technical leader who combines deep hands-on engineering expertise with the ability to influence teams and drive execution. This role begins as a highly hands-on technical lead and is expected to evolve into a broader leadership position over time, owning delivery, mentoring engineers, and shaping the technical direction of the team.

You will work on complex system-level validation, automation, and productization for SAN and network platforms, while helping build a culture of ownership, engineering excellence, and continuous improvement. A key expectation from this role is the ability to operate effectively within a single functional team distributed across multiple geographies, collaborating seamlessly across sites to drive execution, alignment, and delivery outcomes.

In addition to system-level engineering, this role will help drive the next phase of engineering evolution through AI-augmented automation, intelligent validation, and productivity acceleration across the team.

This position requires a minimum of 18+ years of experience in complex system productization, validation, or engineering leadership roles.

• Demonstrate deep hands-on technical capability in testing, validating, and debugging complex system-level issues across SAN and IP-based platforms

• Own end-to-end validation strategy, execution, and quality outcomes for critical features and releases

• Design and drive scalable test strategies, automation frameworks, and validation methodologies

• Lead by example through strong technical execution and structured problem solving

• Influence and mentor engineers to raise technical depth, ownership, and engineering rigor

• Identify gaps in quality, automation, and engineering workflows and drive improvements

• Drive adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices to improve validation depth, defect detection, and productivity

• Explore and implement intelligent automation for:

  • Automated test generation and optimization

  • Failure triage and root-cause acceleration

  • Test prioritization and coverage intelligence

  • Engineering productivity and workflow automation

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Development, Product Management, and Customer teams to improve product testability and customer outcomes

• Drive customer-focused validation, qualification, and release readiness

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering with 15+ years of relevant experience in complex system/software validation and productization

• Strong hands-on experience in system-level testing of complex platforms

• Deep understanding of test strategy, debugging, and large-scale validation

• Proven ability to lead technically and influence without formal authority

• Strong experience in Python-based automation and scalable automation frameworks

• Practical exposure to automation-driven productivity and engineering workflow improvements

• Solid Linux/Open Source systems experience

• Experience mentoring engineers and driving technical excellence

• Strong problem-solving, prioritization, and execution skills

• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

• Ability to operate effectively in a cross-geo, single functional team model

• SAN/Storage expertise (Fiber Channel, FCIP, FICON)

• Networking knowledge (L2/L3/L4)

• Experience driving automation-first and intelligent validation practices

• Exposure to AI/ML, LLM-assisted engineering, or data-driven automation

• Experience leading cross-team technical initiatives

• Ability to improve engineering quality, efficiency, or velocity through automation and tooling
