About the role

Lead multidisciplinary engineering teams supporting advanced server system testing and validation across five laboratories (environmental, thermal, mechanical, failure analysis, transportation, EMI/EMC). Manage daily operations, schedules, resources, and stakeholder relationships; ensure safe, efficient testing with potential after-hours/weekend support and occasional travel.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and support a multidisciplinary team of approximately seven to eight engineers responsible for specialized laboratory testing and engineering activities.
  • Oversee daily engineering operations across multiple laboratories, including thermal and environmental testing, mechanical shock and vibration testing, failure analysis, and EMI/EMC testing.
  • Coordinate server and rack-level testing activities, schedules, resources, equipment maintenance, and customer deliverables.
  • Partner with laboratory, warehouse, operations, and site managers to secure the people, equipment, space, and logistical support needed for successful testing.
  • Monitor active experiments and testing programs, respond to technical issues, and coordinate troubleshooting, triage, root-cause analysis, and customer reporting.
  • Ensure engineers are supported, trained, and equipped to execute testing safely and effectively.
  • Review upcoming products and technology needs to ensure the laboratories have the capabilities and equipment necessary to support future testing.
  • Help improve laboratory processes, scheduling, workflows, and operational efficiency, including the thoughtful use of AI-enabled tools and agents.
  • During the first 30 days, learn the laboratory environment, equipment, team structure, key projects, and partner organizations.
  • Within approximately 60 days, begin taking ownership of laboratory operations, schedules, projects, and stakeholder relationships.
  • Within approximately 90 days, operate with increasing independence while continuing to develop familiarity with less-frequent testing scenarios and specialized equipment.
  • Provide occasional after-hours or weekend coordination when critical engineering experiments or laboratory systems require attention.
  • Support occasional business travel, generally less than 10%, for relevant events or collaboration with other locations.

Qualifications

  • Experience leading or supervising engineering teams in a laboratory, server, hardware, systems, or product-validation environment.
  • Knowledge of server systems, racks, board-level hardware, and system-level engineering concepts.
  • Familiarity with server hardware debugging, technical triage, and root-cause analysis.
  • Understanding of Linux operating environments.
  • Exposure to server cooling methods, including air cooling, liquid cooling, or immersion cooling.
  • Experience supporting engineering testing, laboratory operations, equipment maintenance, or product validation.
  • Familiarity with one or more specialized testing areas, such as thermal and environmental testing, shock and vibration, failure analysis, or EMI/EMC testing.
  • Ability to coordinate projects and resources across engineering, laboratory operations, warehousing, and other site functions.
  • Experience supporting customer-facing engineering activities, test scheduling, technical reporting, or workflow management.
  • Interest in using AI-enabled tools, agents, or automation to improve process management, scheduling, workflows, and operational efficiency.
  • Openness to learning technical disciplines outside of one’s primary area of expertise.
