About the role

  • Your technical leadership skills, systems engineering and hardware bring-up, validation and debug expertise will be necessary towards product development, definition, root cause and resolution.
  • Your agility and collaborative approach will be essential to work within System Validation & other engineering teams (System Architects, SoC and Rack FW etc).
  • The ideal candidate will be driving key areas around at-scale system validation including ARM based server and rack level systems bring-up (nodes and rack level systems).

Responsibilities

  • Lead rack and stack activities, including mounting equipment, cable management, and labelling. Execute hardware upgrades, replacements, and troubleshooting of server and network components.
  • Maintain accurate asset records within DCIM platforms and inventory management systems.
  • Document installation procedures, rack layouts, cabling diagrams, and inventory updates.
  • Support data center migration, expansion, and refresh projects.
  • Collaborate with engineering, operations, logistics, and project management teams.
  • Develop, setup and scale key methodologies for at-scale test execution, lab HW and system SW capabilities as well as system visibilities and debug tools necessary for successful system (HW/SW/FW) bring-up and system validation at blade and rack level for AI compute rack.
  • Lead test execution of key domains within AI compute solutions like CPU, GPU, memory, HBM, IO etc.
  • Drive technical innovation to improve capabilities across system validation, including tools, script development, technical and procedural methodology enhancement, and various internal and cross-functional technical initiatives.

Requirements

  • Experience in Blade server installation and maintenance (Cisco UCS, HPE Synergy, Dell MX, or similar).
  • Strong understanding of server, storage, and networking hardware.
  • Experience performing inventory audits and maintaining asset accuracy.
  • Ability to read rack elevation diagrams, cabling schematics, and deployment documentation.
  • Familiarity with ticketing and change management systems.
  • Experience working with data center technical staff, 3 rd party vendors, ODMs etc throughout the life cycle of server system product development.
  • Must be a self-starter, and able to independently drive tasks to completion

  • Rack and stack deployments in enterprise or hyperscale environments.
  • Copper and fiber cabling installation and management.
  • DCIM and asset management platforms.
  • Exposure to Linux (ubuntu) OS bootable images and system firmware basics for image building, provisioning and firmware flashing.
  • Exposure to automation testing, to enable execution of hardware acceptance tests, best-known-config testing etc.
  • Exposure to python script development and execution.
  • Proven experience in understanding, defining and enabling storage (storage rack), networking capabilities (network rack, DNS, DHCP etc) in a lab environment to help add end-to-end validation and debug capabilities for rack and blade validation.
  • Excellent communication and coordination skills.

Nice to have

  • Masters or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related field.
  • Experience designing and deploying modern AI/ML rack scale systems
  • Knowledge of industry standards and best practices for hardware development
