Hardware Validation Engineer, Data Center Engineering Labs

Job description

Minimum qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. 2 years of experience working in a data center operations or facilities technical environment (or 1 year of experience with an advanced degree). Experience in systems validation and testing. Experience with Linux operating systems, networking/cabling infrastructure (fiber/copper), and physical hardware troubleshooting.

Preferred qualifications

Experience with New Product Introduction (NPI) processes, including landing, powering up, and configuring early-stage/prototype hardware. Experience performing physical, component-level thermal rework (thermal paste/pads, heatsinks, liquid cooling loops) and customized networking rework. Experience managing small-to-medium deployment or deployment infrastructure projects, including timeline coordination and stakeholder communication.

Experience as a Data Center Facilities Technician with knowledge of power distribution, cooling, and rack-level thermal performance. Ability to write and maintain basic automation scripts (e.g., Python, Bash) and build system/lab monitoring dashboards. About the job As a Hardware Validation Engineer for our Data Center Engineering Labs, you will bridge the gap between traditional data center facilities operations and Research and Development systems engineering.

Based in our hardware engineering labs, you won't just maintain existing operations—you will play a direct role in landing, turning up, and maintaining early-stage hardware systems. You are a Data Center Facilities or Operations Technician looking to expand your skill set into New Product Introduction (NPI), automated monitoring, thermal/networking rework, and engineering project management in an agile lab environment.
