Hardware Engineer

We are seeking a hands-on Platform Engineer to support the deployment, validation, and operation of large-scale solutions. This role focuses on system bring-up, hardware and firmware validation, and operational reliability across storage, compute, and networking infrastructure.

You will work closely with senior engineers to ensure systems are correctly configured, stable, and performant: from BIOS settings and firmware versions to OS behavior and device health.

Responsibilities

Perform system bring-up and validation, including BIOS configuration, firmware updates, and OS-level checks.; Configure and verify platform settings (BIOS, BMC, OS) to ensure systems meet performance, reliability and consistency standards.; Execute and validate firmware updates across components, including NVMe drives, NICs, and system firmware.; Identify and troubleshoot issues related to:; Device initialization and visibility.; Firmware mismatches or upgrade failures.; Misconfigurations impacting performance or stability.; Understand, define and test procedures for:; Drive swaps and rebuilds.; Data integrity and system health checks.; Minimizing impact to running systems.; Monitor and validate storage device health, including basic performance characteristics and failure indicators.; Work with Linux systems to verify configuration, collect diagnostics, and assist in debugging issues.; Collaborate with senior engineers to escalate and help triage complex cross-layer issues.; Contribute to documentation and standardization of bring-up, validation, and operational procedures.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in systems, infrastructure, or platform-focused engineering roles.; Comfortable working directly with hardware and firmware, including BIOS, BMC, and device-level tools.; Solid understanding of Linux systems administration and troubleshooting.; Familiarity with storage and networking fundamentals (NVMe, NICs, basic I/O concepts).; Experience performing and supporting firmware updates, with awareness of risk and failure scenarios.; Good scripting skills, familiarity with Go is a plus.; Strong attention to detail, able to verify configurations and catch subtle issues.; Willingness to learn and grow into deeper system, performance, and debugging responsibilities.; Curiosity about why systems perform the way they do: investigate, rather than just run scripts blindly.
