Seagate LLC, Longmont, CO 2015 – 2023
Senior Test Engineer
Performed hardware & software testing on small and large disk storage configuration systems consisting of HDD and flash drives. Completed setup consisted of hardware buildup, racking, OS installation and network attachments for local or remote testing on real and virtual environments.
Designed and implemented Linux, python and windows script automation for longevity and load testing.
Performed test planning, design, and test case write-ups to meet current or new hardware specs.
Supported local and remote testers by building hardware test configurations consisting of small to large configurations with multiple storage arrays.
Performed onsite testing at the HP facility, spending 6 months traveling back and forth between HP and Seagate to complete it.
Learned Hyper-V (Microsoft’s new virtual environment) and then trained my co-workers on it.
Built and configured hardware within the lab. As hands on expert within the lab environment, I ensured all systems were built completely and running sufficiently within our test labs.
During the Covid health crisis, our remote facility within India was shut down, employees there worked remotely. This meant working through time zone differences. By supporting our remote India co-workers, we ensured the project deadline was met and completed.
