Hardware Systems Engineers work closely with Hardware/Software co-design teams, hardware designers, networking teams, system manufacturers, component vendors, capacity engineering, production engineering, production services, and data center operations teams to enable new systems that will be deployed in our production data centers. Ramping to production and solving the datacenter scaling and deployment challenges requires us to take a systems based approach to the new product introduction (NPI) phase.
Responsibilities
Drive and execute end-to-end system validation strategy (hardware and software), with a focus on various AI/HPC hardware systems in datacenter applications Lead the bring-up, validation, and deployment of cutting-edge hardware systems in large scale deployment with active hands-on participations Explore new use cases with customer teams and identify related test methodologies/test cases accordingly Investigate and troubleshoot complex failures potentially related to Hardware systems with cross-function teams, which may involve different stacks like silicon, firmware, software, etc Triage failures and continue rootcausing while driving project development work forward Identify gaps and opportunities to improve test process and test methodologies across the NPI space Guide automation efforts and data analysis for NPI projects through engagement with related cross-function teams Communicate project progress and assessments to related internal and external teams
