Job description

We’re looking for a motivated Engineering Technician.

This role will be supporting NVIDIA.

What You’ll Do:

  • Collaborate closely with engineering teams (system architects, hardware/software engineers, QA, and more) to design, develop, debug, and release next-generation products.
  • Manage and maintain a high-performing Compute Farm of builders, packagers, testers, and core infrastructure.
  • Ensure availability targets are consistently met and lead system recovery efforts.
  • Deploy and qualify systems while supporting exciting new technology bring-ups.
  • Oversee inventory and lifecycle management for assets across data centers and labs.
  • Gather critical metrics and create Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) documentation.
  • Maintain a world-class, safe, and well-organized environment in our data centers and labs.
  • Troubleshoot Linux/Windows, hardware, and infrastructure issues alongside engineers and platform operations teams.
  • Plan, deploy, and maintain on-premises private cloud infrastructure, collaborating with datacenter and network engineering teams.
  • Implement efficiency improvements to maximize availability, throughput, and test accuracy while meeting SLAs and KPIs.
  • Represent the team in meetings with internal stakeholders and contribute to global operations.

Requirements

  • Associate’s or Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering/Technical Major (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of experience in data centers or large engineering labs.
  • Familiarity with SCMs like GIT/Perforce.
  • Proficiency in DCIM (Nautobot, etc.) and scripting (shell, Python, Ansible).
  • Working knowledge of protocols/services like TCP/IP, DNS, NFS, SSL, etc.
  • Experience with Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems.
  • Hands-on experience with PCBs, GPUs, and system deployments.
  • Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative spirit.

What Makes You Stand Out:

  • Experience managing HPC clusters using tools like BCM and Slurm.
  • Hands-on knowledge of OpenStack.
  • Relevant certifications such as CCNA or equivalent.
  • Strong background in Windows and Linux administration, with an understanding of dense datacenter design, including compute, storage, and networking.
  • Experience with hypervisors and VM applications.
  • Knowledge of DC infrastructure with an emphasis on liquid cooling.
  • A track record of technical curiosity and innovation.
  • Mechanically inclined and comfortable with tools and physical tasks.
  • Energetic, enthusiastic, and the understanding of what it takes to get the team to the finish line.
  • Willing to go the extra mile to get the job done!
