The position requires deep expertise in server architecture, Linux, Ethernet or InfiniBand networking, and hardware diagnostics. Candidates will manage site activities, verify BIOS and BMC configurations, and develop troubleshooting guides to improve reliability and serviceability. This role solves critical infrastructure challenges by ensuring operational excellence across large-scale cluster environments, utilizing tools like Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation and monitoring while maintaining compliance with safety and security standards.

What you'll do

  • Lead the installation, configuration, validation, maintenance, and repair of data center infrastructure.
  • Diagnose and resolve complex issues across servers, GPUs, networking, firmware, power, and cooling systems.
  • Perform advanced rack, cluster, and node-level validation following deployments or hardware repairs.
  • Verify firmware, BIOS, BMC, and networking configurations against approved technical specifications.
  • Serve as a technical escalation point by providing coaching, training, and mentorship to engineers.
  • Coordinate issue resolution with customers, engineering teams, OEMs, and service partners.
  • Develop troubleshooting guides, work instructions, and service documentation to improve operational excellence.
  • Lead incident response, maintenance activities, and critical service-restoration efforts.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field.
  • Seven or more years of experience supporting data center, server, networking, HPC, AI, or enterprise infrastructure.
  • Advanced knowledge of server architecture, Linux, networking, firmware, power, cooling, and hardware diagnostics.
  • Proven ability to lead complex troubleshooting and root-cause investigations using logs, telemetry, and diagnostic tools.
  • Experience leading cross-functional technical initiatives, influencing decisions, and mentoring technical personnel.
  • Ability to interpret technical documentation and clearly communicate findings, risks, and recommendations.
  • Experience supporting GPU-based AI, HPC, or large-scale cluster environments (preferred).
  • Experience with direct-liquid cooling, high-density racks, power distribution, and cooling systems (preferred).
