Senior HPC Platform Hardware Engineer

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the hands-on technical lead for integrating OEM and white-label HPC AI/ML, general purpose compute, storage, and network hardware into Lambda’s HPC platform reference architectures.

• Drive the end-to-end process of new product introduction (NPI) for hardware systems, including system bring-up, documentation, vendor technical engagement, production readiness, and closure of hardware risks.

• Identify, debug, and resolve hardware issues across different hardware engineering domains during hardware NPI; support closure of critical fleet issues that require hardware design, vendor corrective action, or platform configuration changes.

• Partner with HPC architects to translate platform blueprints into concrete hardware selections and system configurations.

• Partner with the supply chain team on new vendor evaluation and QBR/HBR feedback on established vendors.

• Own the hardware platform through NPI, working with PMO to de-risk execution, drive cross-functional closure of hardware readiness issues, and ensure platforms reach production on schedule.

• Collaborate with the quality team and fleet reliability team during hardware NPI and after production to continuously improve product quality and reliability at scale.

• Work cross-functionally with fleet engineering, deployment, operation and datacenter engineering teams to ensure on-time delivery and deployment, quality, compatibility, performance, and scalability of new systems.

• Serve as the technical lead to evaluate, enable, and prototype new hardware in labs.

• Review BOMs to ensure configuration accuracy, component compatibility, and alignment of key commodities and components to Lambda platform requirements.
