architecture is a must and a familiarity with server architecture and
integrated circuit design concepts would be helpful. Testing seeks to
verify functionality of all aspects of the system: from system
firmware to OS features (HPUX, LINUX, OpenVMS and Windows). UNIX
administration skills are a must. The candidate will also perform
some physical setup of servers including installation and
configuration of LAN, SCSI and Fibre Channel adapters and their
associated devices (Network switches, SCSI disk arrays, FC disk
arrays, etc.). Experience with lab setup would be a positive
qualification. Verification often consists of running existing PERL
based tools, so basic PERL programming skills are a must and
intermediate/advanced skills would be desirable. Testing occurs on a
demanding, short time cycle so candidate must be a self starter, able
to work independently, and be able to establish a positive rapport
with client.
