## Description

NVIDIA is seeking Level 2 Data Center Technicians (L2) to support production operations and large-scale infrastructure expansion within a high-performance data center environment.
This is a hands-on technical role focused on true break/fix troubleshooting (L2) while also supporting deployment, rack & stack, and cabling work (L1 responsibilities).
This is not a remote hands role-you'll be expected to independently diagnose and resolve server and hardware issues while contributing to ongoing buildouts of cutting-edge AI infrastructure.

What You'll Be Doing

 * Perform true L2 break/fix troubleshooting on servers (beyond simple part replacement)
 * Diagnose, isolate, and resolve hardware and system issues independently
 * Install, configure, and deploy servers and network equipment
 * Perform rack & stack and support data center buildouts
 * Run and manage structured cabling (Cat6 and fiber) including routing and rework
 * Update firmware and BIOS on production systems
 * Configure IP addresses, credentials, and system settings
 * Partner closely with network teams to support:
 + Cable routing and re-patching
 + Optics replacement
 + Port changes and connectivity issues
 * Support both live production environments and ongoing infrastructure scaling
