As a member of the Infrastructure Foundation Hardware Engineering team, you will help develop and validate next-generation server platforms that power a reliable, high-performing, and cost-efficient infrastructure at scale. You will work across platform bring-up, firmware qualification, hardware validation, fleet integration, and performance optimization to support large-scale production deployments.

You Will:

• Bring-up & Sustaining: Drive key aspects of the hardware development lifecycle, including feasibility studies, hardware bring-up, validation, deployment, and ongoing production support.
• Platform Optimization: Perform platform integration, performance characterization, and system-level debugging across compute infrastructure, focusing on hardware optimization, driver tuning, and thermal/power efficiency.
• Hardware Validation: Develop and execute rigorous evaluation and stress-testing strategies for server platforms to ensure reliability and performance under production-scale workloads.
• Firmware & Fleet Enablement: Support BIOS/BMC firmware qualification, hardware health monitoring, and automation tooling for firmware deployment and lifecycle management.
• Vendor & Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with hardware vendors and internal infrastructure teams to investigate component- and system-level failures across hardware, drivers, firmware, and kernel layers.

You Have:

• Experience: 5+ years of hardware engineering, system architecture, or infrastructure validation experience.
• Education: BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
• Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of Linux-based server environments, modern data center technologies, and server architecture including PCIe, NVMe, Ethernet/InfiniB and memory subsystems, and accelerator-based platforms.
• Testing Skills: Hands-on experience testing and validating CPU, Memory, Storage, and high-speed networking subsystems in a Linux environment.
• Programming: Proficiency in Python, Go, or Bash for developing hardware validation tools and automation scripts.
• System Debugging: Strong experience debugging complex server issues remotely, including analysis of kernel logs, hardware registers, and bus-level traces/captures.
• GPU Architectures: Familiarity with GPU platforms, AI accelerators, or high-performance compute (HPC) systems is a plus.

You Are:

• A Problem Solver: Decisive and effective at tracking hardware issues from identification through to fleet-wide resolution.
• A Communicator: Excellent oral and written communication skills; able to translate complex hardware constraints into actionable insights for software teams.
• Collaborative: Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to lead cross-functional projects with Data Center Ops, Supply Chain, SRE, and external vendors.
• Adaptable: Willing to travel occasionally to data centers or vendor sites to oversee hardware deployments or "first-of-a-kind" builds.
