Full Job Description

📋 Description

  • Serve as the most senior technical authority for the operational hardware fleet across the hyperscale AI data center portfolio: GPU systems, servers, storage, and supporting hardware.
  • Lead site assessments and operational audits, and drive the technical readiness of teams ahead of site activation.
  • Review hardware platforms and integration designs from an operational lens, and feed learnings back into hardware engineering, deployment, and supply chain as the build model becomes productized.
  • Author, approve, and execute high-risk hardware MOPs and change records in live production, and lead fleet-wide root cause analysis to closure.
  • Hold OEMs, ODMs, and service vendors accountable to a standard, including flawed RMA and integration processes, without burning the relationship.
  • Act as the connective tissue and force multiplier across hardware operations, hardware engineering, network, facilities, supply chain, and customer-facing teams. Travel 50-75%.
  • You've spent a career operating mission-critical hardware at scale, with significant time as the senior technical voice on a site, campus, or fleet.
  • You command GPU systems, server platforms, storage, firmware lifecycle, and hardware diagnostics, earned in the field rather than from a textbook.
  • You've authored and executed high-risk MOPs and led root cause analysis on significant hardware events through closure.
  • You hold OEMs, ODMs, and deployment partners to a standard, and you enforce it without breaking the relationship.
  • You write clearly (health assessments, RCAs, design feedback) and you teach, lifting the technical readiness of every team around you.
  • Bonus: Hyperscale or large HPC fleets supporting thousands of accelerators. Liquid-cooled compute operations. Linux and hardware management tooling. Standing up new sites from handover to steady state. Scripting for fleet-scale operations.
