What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a hands-on validation role where I can lead SSD test execution with scripts, firmware updates, and stress testing, using Jira/Kanban to deliver measurable results, while continuing to grow in hardware reliability and technical troubleshooting.

I’m an SSD validation engineer focused on executing script-driven test workflows, updating firmware, and running stress tests in SSD environments using local software. In my current role at Solidigm, I manage Agile ticket flows in Jira (Kanban), track inventory, perform unbricking with Dediprog across different models, and collect measurements with a Power Analyzer.

Previously, I scaled the same validation responsibilities across Intel and UST Global, including script executions, SSD validation, and measurement collection to support delivery readiness. Earlier in my career, I worked in technical support and IT assistance—handling user support, computer equipment assembly, warranty/RMA processes, and network equipment setup—building a strong foundation for reliable troubleshooting and hardware-focused problem solving.
