About The Role
We are looking for a hands-on Infrastructure Engineer to join our team and support our high-performance, on-premise server and networking infrastructure. You will be responsible for maintaining, provisioning, and troubleshooting hardware and Linux systems, working closely with network and system teams. This is an in-person role, ideal for someone who enjoys working across hardware, networking, and system layers.
Key Responsibilities
- Physically install, rack, cable, and maintain blade servers and hardware components (CPUs, DIMMs, NICs, storage devices, etc.).
- Connect servers to high-speed networks (100G/400G), verify optics/DACs, and check link status.
- Configure BIOS, firmware, and out-of-band management (IPMI/iDRAC/iLO).
- Install and provision Linux OS; configure hostnames, IPs, routing, and NFS mount points.
- Debug network issues at physical and OS level (VLAN, link issues, routing, etc.).
- Use Linux tools (e.g., ip, dmesg, netstat, ping) to isolate and fix issues.
- Follow provisioning playbooks and maintain accurate records of assets and changes.
- Use scripting (Bash, Python) to automate routine tasks and improve efficiency.
- Collaborate with internal teams (network, systems, storage) and coordinate vendor RMAs.
- Document procedures and contribute to team knowledge base.
- Troubleshoot and replace failed server components with minimal downtime.
Qualifications
- 3–5+ years of experience in data center, lab, or infrastructure engineering roles.
- Proficient in Linux system administration and network configuration.
- Strong hands-on knowledge of x86 server hardware and enterprise networking.
- Familiar with BIOS configuration, firmware updates, and remote management tools.
- Skilled in physical setup and troubleshooting of high-speed NICs and optical links.
- Experience with VLANs, static routing, and diagnosing layer 1–3 issues.
- Ability to write scripts for automation and diagnostics (Bash, Python preferred).
- Comfortable working on-site daily and lifting/moving server hardware.
Preferred Skills
- Experience with PXE, NFS, RAID controllers, and monitoring tools.
- Familiarity with configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible).
- Prior experience in a lab or R&D hardware/software environment.
- This is a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge infrastructure and grow into more senior technical roles. If you enjoy bridging hardware and software with hands-on work, we’d love to hear from you.
