Hardware Engineer

• Hours of support we currently need: 3pm - 11pm, 6pm - 2am, 12-am-8am - one day on the weekends as well

• Shift Notes: Must be will to work OT and weekends as necessary

• This role is much more Linux/server/datacenter focused than Windows focused, lets make Linux troubleshooting and command-line experience a primary requirement
• Familiarity with server hardware, provisioning, OS deployment, firmware flashing, system recovery, and hardware troubleshooting is ideal
• Basic networking knowledge (TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, switching/routing fundamentals) - supports rack bring-up and recovery activities. This is important.
• Python and Bash scripting would likely be more relevant than PowerShell for this role, also very important.
• Experience in datacenter operations, hardware validation, manufacturing, lab support, or large-scale server environments
• This role supports critical engineering operations and may require overtime, evening/night work, weekend coverage, and changing schedules based on business needs. Candidates should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly.
• The day-to-day responsibilities include updating FW on multiple racks simultaneously, launching and monitoring diagnostic workloads, recovering failed systems/trays, troubleshooting hardware and software issues, and supporting engineering teams around the clock when needed.
