## About the Role

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing, Hyperion Pillar, GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), Optics, Validation Testing, Network Operations Center, Team Building, Team Lead/Manager, Machine Tool, * 10+ years across network deployment, cluster/HPC bring-up, or large-scale infrastructure delivery, including managing engineers in a field/deployment setting.

 * Hands-on fabric bring-up experience at scale (hundreds of switches / thousands of links per deployment).
 * Strong operational rigor: building and enforcing playbooks, gates, metrics, and blameless defect loops.
 * Team leadership with schedule accountability across multiple concurrent builds or sites., * GPU cluster validation experience (NCCL/RCCL benchmarking).
 * Automation skills (Python, Ansible) applied to deployment.
 * Optics/link-layer debugging depth.
 * Experience with acceptance testing as a commercial gate (revenue-linked).
 * Own cluster validation end to end: bandwidth/latency baselines, collective (RCCL) performance tests, burn-in criteria, and go/no-go acceptance gates and raise the bar on each as the fleet scales.

## Description

The Senior Manager, Cluster Engineering & Deployment owns and runs the machine that turns delivered racks into accepted clusters: network bring-up, fabric cabling verification against port maps, GPU node integration with the fabric, cluster-level validation and burn-in (including RCCL/collective performance), and the acceptance gate into production. This is one of the most schedule-critical roles in the pillar cluster revenue starts when this team says a cluster is ready.

What You'll Do

 * Own the cluster deployment playbook and drive its evolution: staged bring-up, automated config push, link/optics validation, cabling verification against L1 port maps, and fault triage during deployment windows.
 * Lead deployment engineering across concurrent cluster builds, through team leads and on-site engineers; coordinate daily with Data Center Integration field teams and cabling vendors.
 * Drive deployment velocity engineering: cut bring-up time per cluster through tooling, pre-staging, and defect-source elimination, and set the targets the team is measured against.
 * Own defect feedback loops to Network Engineering (design), Layer One (cabling quality), and vendors (hardware/optics RMA patterns), holding those partners accountable to resolution.
 * Define spares, test equipment, and deployment tooling requirements per site, and standardize them across sites.
