The Systems Integration Engineer (SIE) is responsible for the successful Integration of new hardware platforms & new infrastructure technologies into the data center. This includes leading the system design for serviceability (DFS) requirements which will guide the hardware design starting from the architecture planning phase, implementation along with validating new data center hardware tooling & automation readiness for deployment at scale, and troubleshooting critical systematic issues from the fleet. Meta is seeking an experienced engineer with technical leadership experience and skills in Server Hardware, high performance Compute, Storage, ASICs, Accelerators (GPU), and/or Networking in a data center environment. This role requires expertise in introduction of new hardware platforms into data centers and has either developed robust hardware system test plans, or validation planning as a systems engineer supporting AI/ML, compute, storage & network hardware in a data center environment. These skills will be used to develop test plans for operational integration of future AI/ML, compute, storage and networking products into the existing software tooling infrastructure. The candidate should also have knowledge of the AI/ML system architecture at the block level with hands on skills to triage the systematic failures in the field. This role will interact with cross-functional teams and stakeholders across the organization. This role involves effectively collaborating with and influencing internal stakeholders on the validation of infrastructure tooling support for Meta designed hardware. In this role, you will work with cross-functional teams on emerging data center and hardware technologies, solving complex integration challenges.
Responsibilities
Lead new product introduction and associated processes for the successful launch of new hardware platforms into our data centers globally Lead architecture reviews with hardware engineering teams to analyze and develop diagnostic coverage plans for both hardware and software Lead hardware reviews and drive system design for serviceability requirements to ensure form, fit, and function for new hardware development in our existing data center environment/architecture Lead the development and execution of Data Center readiness tooling validation testing based on tooling development plans Early engagement with design development teams (both internal and external) to drive improvements and influence hardware and tooling architecture Collaborate with cross functional teams & development partners to deliver aligned new hardware platform roadmaps and gain agreement on implementation milestones Collaborate with cross functional partners in Meta's Data Center Operations team to understand infrastructure deployment and operational requirements Collaborate with Production Engineers, Hardware Validation Engineers, Tooling Automation Engineers, and Data Center Operations Engineers to build thorough test strategy and test plans for validating the software needed for Data Center Operations Work with ODM/OEM vendors as needed to define the product specifications, development plans & test plans Capture lessons learned for issues in production and create test cases to address those issues in future hardware platforms 25% domestic and/or international travel required
Qualifications
