What You’ll be doing

• Test and compare server and networking hardware configurations (performance, stability, compatibility)
• Own hardware acceptance: burn-in checks, firmware/BIOS baselines, and “known-good” configs
• Plan and coordinate hardware maintenance and upgrades across sites (schedules, checklists, validation steps)
• Work together with onsite providers/contractors to execute installations and maintenance; review evidence and ensure quality
• Produce clear documentation: test results, approved SKUs, configuration standards, and maintenance runbooks
• Help troubleshoot hardware issues and support spares/RMA decisions
• Maintain inventory documentationscheduled on-call rotations to support network operations and incident response

What we look for in you:

• Solid understanding of server hardware basics (CPU/RAM/storage, NICs, firmware/BIOS, FPGA) and networking fundamentals
• Basic Linux skills for testing/benchmarking
• Accuracy and high level of attention to details
• Ability and willingness to solve problems in non standard way
• Structured troubleshooting mindset
• Comfortable coordinating work with external parties and driving tasks to completion.
• Able to document results and make recommendations based on data
• Willingness to travel internationally from time to time

Nice-to-Have:

• Bare-metal fleet experience or lab/burn-in testing background
• Optics/cabling validation knowledge
• Experience with vendor/procurement coordination (RMAs, substitutions, lead times)
