Key Responsibilities

• Execute and coordinate rack-level deployment of compute, network, and storage infrastructure for AI and HPC environments.
• Validate rack elevations, port maps, cable maps, power distribution, labeling, and physical connectivity before cluster handoff.
• Perform detailed cable validation across Ethernet, InfiniBand, management, and storage interconnects.
• Detect and resolve cabling defects including polarity issues, incorrect port destinations, unsupported optics pairings, breakout errors, damaged media, and inconsistent labeling.
• Support hardware bring-up by validating BIOS baselines, BMC reachability, inventory accuracy, and initial connectivity tests.
• Partner with network and Linux teams during cluster turn-up to quickly isolate physical-layer versus logical-layer failures.
• Create deployment checklists, as-built documentation, and signoff criteria for production acceptance.
• Drive structured remediation during expansion, re-cabling, or failed build events.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years in data center deployment, HPC infrastructure installation, or large-scale hardware integration.
• Strong practical knowledge of structured cabling, optics, transceivers, breakout schemes, and rack-level physical validation.
• Experience reading and validating rack diagrams, patch plans, cable matrices, and topology documentation.
• Strong troubleshooting skill for Layer 1 issues that manifest as network instability, missing hosts, degraded performance, or failed cluster readiness checks.
• Experience with asset tracking, labeling discipline, and deployment quality control.
• Ability to work across physical infrastructure, server hardware, and network operations teams without losing detail.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in GPU cluster deployment or AI factory buildouts.
• Familiarity with automated cable validation or DCIM-integrated deployment workflows.
• Working knowledge of host provisioning and network validation sufficient to accelerate multi-team turn-up.
