## Role Scope - Qualify next-generation compute: GPUs, servers, and racks tested against the deployment standard before the fleet sees them.- Build and run the benchmark suites: performance, power, and thermals characterized under real workloads.- Break things on purpose: stress, fault injection, and endurance runs that find the weaknesses early.- Write the qualification reports that become fleet standards: configs, firmware, and known issues documented. ## What We're Looking For The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would. - You've qualified, validated, or debugged server or GPU systems hands-on.- You benchmark rigorously: reproducible methods, controlled variables, honest numbers.- You've root-caused hardware failures across silicon, firmware, and system levels.- You script your work: automation over checklists.- You've worked with vendors on bugs and gotten fixes shipped. Bonus: NVIDIA or AMD accelerator platforms. BMC and firmware depth. Thermal and power characterization. Linux systems depth. We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
