Senior Network Engineer

Position: Sr InfiniBand AI Network Engineer Location: Remote Hiring Mode: 12 Months Contract Job Description: Client is seeking a Sr InfiniBand AI Network Engineer to provide senior InfiniBand engineering services supporting Artificial Intelligence and High Performance Computing clusters where fabric stability and latency sensitive performance are mission critical. This is a hands on role focused on cluster scale deployment, health validation, and advanced troubleshooting of transport, fabric, and endpoint behavior. Responsibilities:

• Deploy and validate InfiniBand fabrics supporting distributed Artificial Intelligence training and High Performance Computing workloads.
• Troubleshoot issues involving fabric discovery, subnet management, link state, routing, partitioning, congestion, credit starvation, error counters, and host channel adapter behavior.
• Diagnose job failures and performance degradation related to collective communication, NCCL transport selection, RDMA pathing, and fabric imbalance.
• Validate switch, host channel adapter, firmware, and cable consistency during cluster deployment and expansion activities.
• Utilize low level fabric tools to isolate bad links, unstable ports, unhealthy endpoints, topology mismatches, or subnet manager instability.
• Partner with Linux, deployment, and Artificial Intelligence validation teams to drive root cause analysis from application symptoms to fabric source.
• Define and execute preflight and post change validation workflows for InfiniBand cluster readiness.
• Document recurring fault patterns and create remediation playbooks for operational teams.

Required Qualifications :

• 7 or more years of experience in High Performance Computing or advanced networking environments, including direct InfiniBand operations experience.
• Strong working knowledge of InfiniBand architecture, subnet management, link training, routing, partitions, congestion behavior, and performance diagnostics.
• Experience with RDMA, NCCL related network dependencies, and multi node Artificial Intelligence workload sensitivity to transport issues.
• Strong troubleshooting skills using fabric health, counter, topology, and endpoint analysis tools.
• Experience with firmware and driver alignment across host channel adapters, switches, and Linux hosts.
• Ability to triage complex issues spanning host configuration, fabric state, and application communication behavior.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with excellent documentation capabilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting DGX, GPU SuperPOD, or equivalent Artificial Intelligence cluster environments.
• Familiarity with Unified Fabric Manager (UFM), telemetry pipelines, and automated fabric validation.
• Experience correlating InfiniBand anomalies with Artificial Intelligence training performance outcomes.
