Job Description

This position shapes the data foundation powering reliability insights for PSR, delivering scalable models, ingestion, and observability across automated tests, lab workflows, and CI-integrated processes.

Responsibilities

Architect and own scalable, maintainable data models for reliability, automation, lab data, and telemetry-generated information.
Lead database schema design to support cross-test analytics, traceability, repeatability, and long-term platform growth.
Design and implement robust ingestion and transformation pipelines across automated test systems, CI/CD workflows, lab infrastructure, and engineering tools.
Define and standardize shared identifiers, metadata strategies, and data contracts enabling reliable correlation across runs, sessions, devices, builds, environments, and programs.
Create complex data solutions in areas with limited or fragmented standards, tooling, or historical patterns.
Provide technical guidance to reliability engineers, lab engineers, software/test automation engineers, and DevOps partners on data architecture, observability design, and scalable reporting patterns.
Influence engineering standards for schema design, ingestion patterns, telemetry structure, data governance, and dashboard consumption.
Enable observability workflows by structuring metrics, logs, events, and related telemetry into fit-for-purpose systems supporting debugging and strategic analysis.
Support dashboards and reporting experiences for technical users and leadership, including engineering deep dives, program health reporting, and executive views.
Drive data quality, performance, consistency, integrity, and usability improvements across the PSR ecosystem.
Identify architectural bottlenecks and lead remediation across storage, schema design, pipeline reliability, and visualization workflows.
Create and maintain documentation, standards, and best practices for schema design, ingestion patterns, data governance, and dashboard enablement.
Mentor and influence other engineers through design reviews and practical guidance on scalable data solutions.
Contribute to longer-term data and observability strategy that scales with evolving Pod programs and future platform needs.
