Position Description: Protingent Staffing has an exciting contract AI Automation & Tools Engineer with our client located in San Jose, CA.
Job Responsibilities:
- To support the continued development of AI automation and tooling capabilities, we are requesting the onboarding of a contractor to assist with critical tasks in Eldora, Deus/Euclid, and Elroy projects. These initiatives require ongoing automation efforts to optimize efficiency and ensure seamless system functionality. The contractor will accelerate progress in the following key areas:
- Establish a "First Level of Defense" (L1 Triage): The contractor will deploy automated gatekeeping systems to handle initial failure analysis by deploying AI agents. This includes automated setup-health checks, sideband diagnostics, and Beagle trace pre-screening, resolving routine issues before they require escalation to a full-time engineer.
- Intelligent Triage Optimization: Streamline the identification and routing of issues across our toolset. By automating the "discovery" phase of a defect, we significantly reduce the Mean Time to Resolve and improve overall testing velocity.
- Engineering Bandwidth Protection: By filtering out repetitive tasks and known setup issues through automation, we protect the core team’s bandwidth, allowing them to concentrate on high-complexity architecture and "show-stopper" project milestones.
- Scalable Productivity: Replace manual, linear triage workflows with scalable AI-driven processes. This ensures that as test volume increases for Elroy and Eldora, our triage capacity scales without requiring additional permanent headcount.
Job Qualifications:
- Proficiency in Python and experience with hands-on experience in automation frameworks.
- Experience working with NVMe/storage firmware validation or similar hardware-software system environments.
- Hands-on experience in log analysis and trace diagnostics (e.g., Protocol Analyzers, Beagle trace).
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to analyze complex systems.
- Solid understanding of automated triage tools and their application in improving workflows.
- Experience with AI and machine learning algorithms to enhance automation processes.
- Familiarity with additional diagnostic and debugging tools.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a cross-functional team.
Job Details:
- Job Type: Contract
- Pay Range: $70 - $80 an hour.
- Location: San Jose, CA.
Benefits Package: Protingent offers competitive salaries, insurance plan options (HDHP plan or POS plan), education/certification reimbursement, pre-tax commuter benefits, Paid Time Off (PTO), and an administered 401k plan.
