• Configure electrical test equipment and Arista Network Switches 
• Develop and execute system and component level test plans
• Develop and execute Python test scripts to perform EDVT
• Support sustaining qualification
• Find and resolve EDVT issues early in the development cycle by actively working with the diagnostic and hardware design teams
• Closely interface/engage with cross functional product teams (HW, SW, NPIE, MFG, PM) to address any EDVT dependencies to meet the project milestones

• 2-5+ years of hands on industry experience in hardware/electrical validation (Networking - Cisco/Juniper great; Electronics/Devices/Storage/etc. is good)
  • SMBus/PCIE knowledge (protocol device on the system that communicates with different peripherals, this is related to Electrical Engineering)
  • Hardware experience required: Debugging FRUs (optics, DAC, power supplies, etc), lab experience with electrical test equipment (Keysight DCA, Chroma power meters)
  • Experience with IEEE 802.3 C2M spec and test methodology
  • Strong understanding of electrical eye diagrams for NRZ and Pam4 signaling
• Proven experience multitasking projects (4-5 at the same time)
• Experience working in Linux environments (Unix/Windows ok)
• Experience scripting ability (Python preferred; Shell/TCL/Except ok)

  • Fundamental understanding of OOP, and data analytics libraries (Pandas, Numpy, Matplotlib)  
• Excellent knowledge of complex system level debugging and root cause analysis (i.e. understanding interrelated components working together in hardware and finding the issue that is causing an error)
• Ability to carry and move 15-30 pounds (for transporting/handling large systems/hardware)
• Electrical Engineering and/or Computer Science Degree

Nice to have skills:

• Experience in Telnet/SSH - a way to connect to computers/servers remotely
