Salary is determined by various factors, including but not limited to location, the individual’s particular combination of education, knowledge, skills, competencies, and experience, as well as contract-specific affordability and organizational requirements.


Capabilities

• Maintain a comprehensive understanding of the system’s end-to-end physical and logical architecture to effectively apply hardware modeling and diagnostics (HMD) monitoring tools.
• Leverage HMD monitoring tools to identify, narrow, and triage system issues, directing detailed problems to the appropriate diagnosticians or vendors for resolution.
• Develop deep expertise in the HMD product and monitoring architecture to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities to enhance diagnostic effectiveness.
• Collaborate with developers, analysts, and monitoring tool owners to propose, design, and implement improvements to monitoring solutions, increasing system reliability, and operational visibility.
• Analyze system logs, metrics, and telemetry—primarily using Splunk—to determine root causes, understand system behavior, and identify anomalous conditions.
• Interpret hardware and system performance data, including graphs and trends, to diagnose system behavior and inform troubleshooting activities.
• Guide the development of Splunk dashboards, health indicators, and diagnostic scripts to monitor critical data flows, system performance, and failure signatures.
• Review and evaluate relevant technical documentation; ask clarifying questions and build expertise in hardware design to support accurate and timely system diagnosis.
• Provide recommendations for testing strategies and develop documentation of issue signatures to enable and accelerate diagnostics development.
• Collaborate closely with diagnosis teams and external vendors to troubleshoot complex hardware and system-level issues.
• Track issues through resolution using JIRA, validate fixes, and confirm that corrective actions resolve the underlying problems.


Requirements


Required Skills

• Demonstrated experience in one or more of the following technical domains, with a strong willingness and aptitude to expand expertise as required: System Architecture and Design, Power Systems, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Design, Cooling Infrastructure, Signal Integrity, and System Reliability.

• Proven experience in system health monitoring, diagnostics, and operational support for complex hardware and integrated systems.

• Ability to read, interpret, and analyze detailed hardware documentation, including specifications, data sheets, schematics, and design artifacts. • Strong analytical and troubleshooting mindset, with a natural curiosity and willingness to ask probing questions to identify root causes and systemic issues.

• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to engage vendors and internal stakeholders to extract detailed technical information related to system design, performance, and anomalies.

• Experience with, or demonstrated ability to quickly learn, system monitoring and diagnostics tools, including but not limited to Chiplink, Splunk, Ipsci, and iostat.

• Self-motivated and capable of completing complex technical tasks with minimal supervision while managing priorities effectively.

• Ability to clearly convey technical findings, risks, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences through written documentation and oral briefings.

• Proven ability to work effectively within cross-functional teams, including engineering, diagnostics, operations, and vendor partners.

• Comfortable learning and adapting to new tools, technologies, and processes as mission and system needs evolve.
