Job Description:

We are seeking Junior Systems Engineers to join a large-scale infrastructure deployment team working in a rack-based computing environment.

This role is ideal for New College Graduates (NCG) or early-career engineers with a Computer Science (CS) or Electrical Engineering (EE) background, including candidates with internship, lab, or academic project experience.

You will help support the deployment and provisioning of new rack-scale systems, assisting with system configuration, automation scripting, and cluster environment setup.

If you have hands-on exposure to Python scripting, Linux environments, or distributed computing systems during school or internships, we encourage you to apply.

Key Responsibilities

System Deployment & Provisioning

• Assist with deployment and configuration of new rack-based computing systems in a large-scale infrastructure environment.

Software & Firmware Management

• Support updating and managing system software and firmware (SW/FW) across rack-based infrastructure.
• Assist with provisioning workflows that prepare systems for operational use.

Cluster & Networking Environment

• Work with cluster scheduling and workload management tools such as SLURM (preferred but not mandatory).
• Support basic network configuration tasks and connectivity validation within rack systems.

Collaboration

• Work closely with infrastructure engineers, system architects, and deployment teams to ensure systems are configured according to operational standards.
• Participate in troubleshooting and validation of newly deployed systems.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• New College Graduates (NCG) are encouraged to apply, especially those with relevant internship, lab, or academic project experience.
• Basic knowledge of Python scripting.
