  • Support deployment and rollout of next-generation hardware platforms through structured validation and qualification cycles.
  • Interface with facilities and infrastructure teams to understand environmental factors impacting system reliability.
  • Develop and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs), troubleshooting guides, and validation documentation.
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to junior technicians and engineers on troubleshooting methodologies and hardware diagnostics.
  • Participate in on-call rotations or off-hours support during critical engineering milestones or hardware bring-up phases.
Candidate Profile
Essential
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline.
  • 10 years experience with server hardware architectures and board-level debugging.
  • Experience analyzing system logs, hardware telemetry, and power/thermal metrics to isolate hardware failures.
  • Hands-on experience with HPC systems, AI compute platforms, or rack-scale infrastructure.
  • Strong collaboration skills and ability to work effectively in fast-paced engineering environments.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Desirable
  • Experience supporting prototype or pre-production hardware bring-up.
  • Familiarity with data center facilities, including liquid cooling and power distribution systems.
  • Experience using Python, Bash, or automation tools for hardware validation or troubleshooting.
  • Exposure to structured failure analysis and reliability engineering methodologies.
