About the role

Role focused on turning up compute infrastructure from facility availability to ready-for-service, including rack qualification, base-management tooling, and remote turn-up across multiple data centers with travel.

Responsibilities

  • Own compute turn-up from facility availability to ready-for-service: the stretch after the network hands off and before customers run workloads.
  • Qualify racks at scale: establish firmware baselines, configure BMC and BIOS, run burn-in, and validate at node and cluster level across hundreds of racks per site on GPU and custom accelerator platforms.
  • Drive qualification through the base-management Kubernetes platform and provisioning stack (discovery, imaging, firmware updates, shared services), burning down qual queues with tooling rather than manual runs.
  • Triage hardware failures found in qualification: isolate to component, drive RMA and vendor escalation, and feed failure patterns back into the qual gates.
  • Run turn-up remotely by default, with on-site pulses of roughly a week per data hall as new halls reach facility availability, plus occasional overlapping-site weeks.
  • Partner with network deployment, ICT, data center operations, and hardware teams during turn-up windows, and support incident response on freshly-live capacity.

Qualifications

  • You've brought up server or GPU fleets at scale, hundreds of nodes or more, and taken them all the way to production.
  • You work deep in Linux and out-of-band management: BMC, IPMI, and Redfish are daily tools for you, not occasional lookups.
  • You've automated hardware workflows in Python or Go rather than clicking through them, and the second time you do anything by hand you turn it into software.
  • You've worked physically in data halls, racking, cabling, and swapping components, and you're just as effective acting as remote hands or directing them.
  • You triage failures methodically across hardware, firmware, and software, isolating the fault to a component before reaching for a fix.
  • You travel for turn-up windows when a new data hall comes online.
  • Bonus: Kubernetes-based bare-metal provisioning. Accelerator platform bringup (NVIDIA, AMD, or custom). Burn-in and stress harness design. DCIM and inventory tooling.
