Salary

USD 320,000 - 405,000

Requirements

Skills

  • Hands‑on experience running a hardware, systems, or datacenter lab, or a similar physical compute environment: rack‑and‑stack, copper and fiber cabling, power distribution (PDUs, circuits, phase balancing)
  • Working knowledge of server hardware and its management plane: BMC/IPMI/Redfish, BIOS/UEFI configuration, serial console, PXE/network boot, firmware updates
  • Enough Linux and networking (VLANs, DHCP, DNS, basic switch config) to take a bare machine to a state a remote engineer can use
  • Have managed vendors, contractors, quotes, and freight for physical equipment
  • Comfortable and safe with power tools, bench power supplies, and a wiring or rack elevation diagram
  • Work independently with minimal supervision, and know when to ask
  • Bias toward action and comfort with ambiguity: you'd rather move and adjust than wait for perfect information
  • Communicate clearly and directly, especially when flagging risks or blockers
  • Stood up a lab or datacenter room from empty: layout, power and cooling budget, first round of purchasing
  • Experience around high‑density accelerator systems (GPU/TPU‑class racks), liquid cooling, or pre‑release/NPI hardware bring‑up
  • Electronics bench skills: soldering and rework, scope and multimeter, custom cable and debug harnesses, JTAG probes, light fabrication (3D printing, drilling, mounting)
  • Supported hardware security, firmware, or platform bring‑up work
  • Experience with DCIM or asset‑management tooling (NetBox, ServiceNow, etc.)
  • Bought hard‑to‑source or specialty hardware and dealt with the compliance and logistics that come with it

Responsibilities

  • Run the physical lab across both sites: receiving and staging, rack‑and‑stack, cabling, power distribution and load planning, cooling, floor layout
  • Bring up new server and accelerator platforms as they arrive, from crate to a machine someone can SSH into: firmware and BIOS/UEFI setup, out‑of‑band management, OS install, network provisioning
  • Own hardware procurement for the lab: work with teams on what's coming, order ahead of need, chase quotes and lead times, keep receiving and inventory in order
  • Own RMA processes end‑to‑end for lab hardware: triage, swap, ship, track, close; drive vendor escalations
  • Build the one‑off setups engineers ask for: debug and programming harnesses (JTAG/SWD/UART), remote power switching, console and KVM access, and the occasional improvised fix for hardware running outside the conditions it was designed for
  • Oversee smarthands and contractor work on‑site (electricians, cabling crews, riggers, integrators, OEM field engineers): scope it, dispatch it, validate the quality
  • Handle physical access, asset auditing, and lifecycle tracking for hardware that is expensive and sometimes pre‑release
  • Write it down: build the playbooks and lightweight tooling (inventory, remote power, console access) so remote teams can use the lab without pinging you for every step
