As we move from development into field deployment, we are looking for a Product Systems Engineer to own the hands-on technical delivery of Iris servers - from integration and bring-up inside our engineering team through to deployment and live operation in third-party data centre environments. You will begin by working directly alongside our core engineering team - owning the integration and validation of Lumai Iris server units. This is intentional: the best way to develop deep expertise in a novel platform is to build it. As deployments go live, you will take ownership in the field - leading system bring-up, performance characterisation, and post-deployment support, and acting as the primary technical contact for data centre operators and end customers. This is an opportunity to work at the cutting edge of efficient AI inference - deploying a genuinely novel compute platform into production for the first time, and playing a central role in how it reaches the world., * Integrate and build Lumai Iris server units alongside the engineering team - owning bring-up, validation, and performance characterisation of units ahead of deployment * Lead system bring-up, validation, and performance characterisation of deployed units in third-party data centre environments * Own on-site and remote troubleshooting of hardware issues, acting as the first line of response post-deployment * Train and enable data centre operators and customer engineering teams on the Iris platform * Act as the primary post-deployment technical contact for customers and data centre operators * Feed field findings, deployment issues, and customer feedback back into product and engineering ## Related Videos - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [Architecting the Future: Leveraging AI, Cloud, and Data for Business Success](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1096-architecting-the-future-leveraging-ai-cloud-and-data-for-business-success) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Modern Web Development with Nuxt3](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/294-modern-web-development-with-nuxt3) - [How to build a sovereign European AI compute infrastructure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1102-how-to-build-a-sovereign-european-ai-compute-infrastructure) - [Hiring AI Native Talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100268-hiring-ai-native-talents) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
