· Key Responsibilities:

· Assemble custom-configured servers, storage appliances, and GPU nodes per engineering specifications and customer requirements.

· Install components including CPUs, memory, GPUs, storage devices (NVMe/SATA/SAS), RAID cards, network cards (NICs), and power supplies.

· Validate thermal and power configurations based on vendor documentation and airflow best practices.

· Perform firmware/BIOS updates, GPU vBIOS upgrades, and out-of-band management configuration (e.g., IPMI, iDRAC, iLO).

· Conduct diagnostics, burn-in testing, and hardware validation to ensure system performance and stability.

· Accurately label and cable multi-node racks using structured cabling best practices and data center standards.

· Maintain detailed records of builds in inventory and asset tracking systems (ERP/CRM).

· Troubleshoot and repair hardware failures in collaboration with engineering and QA teams.

· Follow ESD safety and proper handling procedures when working with sensitive components (especially GPUs and memory).

· Support R&D and validation teams by building testbed configurations or prototypes.

· Required Qualifications:

· High school diploma or equivalent required; associate degree or technical certification preferred.

· 2+ years of experience in server assembly, preferably in an OEM, systems integrator, or data center environment.

· Familiarity with GPU technologies (NVIDIA A100/H100, AMD Instinct, etc.) and their thermal/power requirements.

· Experience assembling servers from vendors such as Supermicro, Dell, HPE, Inspur, ASUS, or Gigabyte.

· Understanding of enterprise storage interfaces (NVMe, SAS, SATA) and RAID configurations.

· Proficient with BIOS/UEFI configuration, firmware flashing tools, and remote management protocols (IPMI, Redfish, etc.).

· Ability to interpret hardware BOMs, assembly diagrams, and technical documentation.

· Comfortable lifting servers (up to 50 lbs), operating hand tools, and working in a physically active environment.

· Preferred Skills:

· Familiarity with AI/ML server builds (multi-GPU systems, liquid cooling, NVLink/NVSwitch configurations).

· Basic Linux command-line skills for system validation and post-assembly testing.

· Experience using IT asset management and ticketing systems (e.g., Jira, ServiceNow, Odoo, etc.).

· Ability to work under tight deadlines and adjust to changing priorities in a production environment.

· Work Conditions:

· Onsite work in a data center, integration facility, or clean room assembly environment.

· May include occasional extended hours or weekend work during major deployments or high-demand periods.

· Safety gear (anti-static equipment, gloves, etc.) provided and required.
