The Drive Qual Team plays a crucial role in designing and developing the Direct Flash Module (DFM) – a key module of Pure's Flasharray and Flashblade enterprise storage solutions. The DFM is an internally designed enterprise storage device using the NAND flash technology. Compared with the off-the-shelf SSD, the DFM has the competitive advantage of  simplicity, high performance, low cost and scalability.

As a member of the DFM team, you'll be actively engaged in all phases of the product development cycle with a focus on validation of the various FW modules. You will be involved in analysing the existing tests and enhancing/adding the new test cases to ensure end to coverage of the FW design with a key focus on the exception/error scenarios. You would be also responsible for developing the FW regression test suite which would be used for nightly/weekly runs and helps in assessing the FW stability for the regular and milestone specific FW releases. 

• Framework and Test Development: You will be responsible for architecting and developing unified, automated test frameworks for SSD qualification. This includes integrating existing test suites (like those for NVMe/OCP standards) with internal, custom-built test suites. You'll also use your strong scripting skills, primarily in Python, to create and automate new qualification tests to minimize testing cycles.
  
  
• Automation and Scalability: A key part of the role is developing automated solutions to deploy new SSD qualification tests at a large scale. This involves building CI/CD pipelines and tools to speed up the debugging process between tests and product issues.
  
  
• Data Analysis and Visualization: You will drive the automation of data extraction, analysis, and visualization. This includes developing automated dashboards to centralize validation data and help make data-driven decisions on large volumes of test data.
  
  
• Process Improvement: You will proactively define and develop new SSD qualification tests, focusing on specific SSD features, field issues, and standards like the OCP specification. Additionally, you'll continuously improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the qualification platform and processes, including reporting and vendor relationships.
  
  
• Mentorship and Strategy: As a highly skilled professional in Python and software architecture, you will be expected to participate in team activities aimed at improving testing processes, brainstorm methods to enhance team effectiveness, and leverage your experience in storage validation to identify and develop key metrics.

• Extensive Technical Experience: You need over 8 years of experience developing software for validating hardware components and systems. This includes strong skills in both software and hardware debugging.
  
  
• Domain Expertise: The role requires deep knowledge of NAND Flash, SSD firmware architecture, and related storage domains. Familiarity with PCIe/NVMe/OCP is a plus.
  
  
• Proficiency in Software Development: Strong skills in Python are essential, particularly with Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Experience with C++ is also beneficial.
  
  
• Hardware & Testing Acumen: Candidates should possess strong knowledge of hardware design, storage architectures, and interfaces. Practical experience in a hardware/software validation lab for SSDs or similar embedded industries, including knowledge of flash-based device failure modes, is a key requirement.
  
  
• Automation & Data Skills: The role involves independently devising, implementing, and automating qualification methods. Experience with developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins and GIT is necessary, along with the ability to work with complex data models for analysis.
