Role Summary

Our compute footprint is growing fast to support our science and engineering teams. We’re hiring a Datacenter HW Engineer to maintain, troubleshoot, and scale our GPU/CPU clusters safely and reliably.

What you will do

• Diagnose & operate core server/cluster components - Investigate and handle compute/storage hardware issues (CPU, memory, drives, NICs, GPUs, PSUs) and interconnect problems (switches, cables, transceivers; Ethernet/InfiniBand).
• Safety & procedures - Apply lockout/tagout (LOTO) and ESD discipline; follow pre/post-work checklists; maintain tidy, safe work areas.
• First-line diagnostics - Triage using LEDs, POST, beep codes and basic tests; capture evidence (photos, serials, results); open/update/close tickets with clear notes.
• Preventive maintenance - Provide feedback and ideas to improve proactive activities, monitoring, and targeted follow-ups on recurring or specific anomalies; help turn ad-hoc checks into SOPs, alerts, and dashboards.
• Parts & logistics - Receive and track parts, keep labeled inventory accurate, manage simple RMAs, and coordinate with vendors.
• Collaboration & escalation - Partner with senior hardware/firmware owners on complex or multi-node issues; communicate status and next steps crisply.
• Documentation & quality - Keep SOPs/checklists current; ensure zero undocumented changes and consistent, audit-ready records.

About you

• Hands-on mindset in datacenters/server hardware: you can install/re-seat/swap GPU/PCIe cards, NICs, PSUs, drives, and work cleanly in racks (rails, cabling, labeling).
• Disciplined and meticulous: follows checklists, ESD/LOTO; no rough handling; careful with all high-value server components.
• Practical electrical basics: power-off, PPE, short-circuit risk awareness.
• Comfortable in racks: cooling, network, storage, PDU, cable management; can lift/mount safely (within HSE limits).
• Clear communicator: short factual updates; reliable teammate; punctual and process-minded.
• Hardware-passionate, professionally grounded: strong curiosity and craft mindset.

Nice to have

• HPC/AI/Cloud at scale experience (production environments), large-fleet/server install & maintenance in datacenters.
• Basic networking (Ethernet/InfiniBand) and basic Linux (boot/check; no coding needed).
• Coding/automation skills (Python/Bash): small tools/scripts to improve checklists, photo/serial capture, inventory sync, or simple monitoring/reporting.
• Experience with inventory/RMA tools and vendor coordination.
• Exposure to HPC/research/industrial environments.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and equity package
• Health insurance
• Transportation allowance
• Sport allowance
• Meal vouchers
• Private pension plan
• Generous parental leave policy
