We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems across high-stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector, co-creating customized AI systems that they can run on their terms.\nWe are a dynamic, collaborative team passionate about AI and its potential to transform society. Our diverse workforce thrives in competitive environments and is committed to driving innovation. Our teams are distributed between Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited.\nThe mission\nYou will work every day on the racks that power one of France's largest AI clusters.\nMistral's compute footprint is our single largest investment and the foundation of our AI research and engineering. We're hiring Data Center Hardware Engineers (L1-L3) to keep our GPU/CPU clusters healthy, safe and growing - hands-on, in the data center, at the intersection of high-performance computing and physical infrastructure.\nYou'll join a small, senior team working at a scale few engineers get to experience: GPU-dense racks (H100/H200-class and next-generation platforms), high-speed interconnects, liquid-cooled systems - with new sites under development in France and beyond.\nHardware here is not someone else's problem. As part of a small on-site team, you carry responsibility for it end to end.\nLocation: On-site at one of our data centers in the Paris region\nWhat you'll do\nDiagnose & repair server and cluster hardware: CPUs, memory, drives, NICs, GPUs, PSUs, and interconnect problems (switches, cables, transceivers; Ethernet/InfiniBand).\n\nIntervene safely - power-off/lockout, ESD discipline, pre/post-work checklists, tidy and safe work areas.\n\nCapture everything - photos, serials, test results; open, update and close tickets with notes the next engineer can act on.\n\nManage parts - receive, label and track inventory; run RMAs and coordinate with vendors.\n\nHelp us get better - feed recurring anomalies into monitoring, alerts and SOPs; contribute small scripts (Python/Bash) if you have those skills.\n\nBe a good teammate - clear status updates, honest handovers, and respect for the people depending on the cluster.\n\nAbout you\nHands-on comfort in data centers or server hardware - you can (or will quickly learn to) work cleanly in racks: rails, cabling, labeling, mounting.\n\nDisciplined and meticulous: checklists aren't bureaucracy to you, they're craftsmanship.\n\nPractical electrical basics: power-off procedures, PPE, short-circuit risk awareness.\n\nBasic Linux (boot checks, logs) - scripting is a plus, not a requirement.\n\nPhysically able to work in racks (lift, mount, maneuver) in a data center environment.\n\nComfortable in a 24/7 operation, including a rotating on-call with emergency response expectations.\n\nDriver's licence (B) for travel between our sites.\n\nEven if you don't match every criterion\nMany of our best hardware engineers came from research labs, telecoms, IT services or the military. If you are rigorous, curious and genuinely motivated by hardware at scale, we would be glad to hear from you - we assess demonstrated scope rather than keyword matching.\nNice to have\nHPC/AI/cloud production experience at scale; large-fleet server install and maintenance.\n\nNetworking fundamentals (Ethernet/InfiniBand) beyond basics.\n\nVendor/RMA tooling, ticketing (Jira/ServiceNow), inventory systems.\n\nPython/Bash automation for checks, capture, inventory or reporting.\n\nWhat We Offer\nWe offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being, growth, and work-life balance. Benefits vary by country and may include healthcare coverage, parental leave, retirement plans, relocation support, wellness programs, meal and transportation allowances, and other location-specific perks.\nFor the most up-to-date details on benefits available in your location, please refer to our Benefits page.\nPrivacy Policy\nYour privacy matters to us. You can learn more about how we handle your personal data in our Applicant Privacy Policy.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4150,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Parental leave","Retirement plans","Wellness"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["LLM & Generative AI","Code Intelligence","Foundation Models","AI Research Labs"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-10T12:23:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.471,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":98,"expected_fill_days":64,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mistral-ai-datacenter-hardware-engineer-hpc","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mistral-ai-datacenter-hardware-engineer-hpc.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T19:53:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3423,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":22},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=22"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmistral-ai-datacenter-hardware-engineer-hpc"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmistral-ai-datacenter-hardware-engineer-hpc"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmistral-ai-datacenter-hardware-engineer-hpc"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/mistral-ai-datacenter-hardware-engineer-hpc\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmistral-ai-datacenter-hardware-engineer-hpc"}]}
