  • Location: Data Center Environment

Role Overview This is a long-term opportunity supporting the build-out, deployment, and ongoing operations of an NVIDIA Data Center.

Candidates should be comfortable performing installation, deployment, hardware maintenance, and infrastructure support activities in a fast-paced data center environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Troubleshoot and diagnose server issues, identify root causes, and perform Level 2 break/fix activities.

  • Order, replace, and install defective hardware components and coordinate the return of faulty equipment to vendors.

  • Perform firmware upgrades and ensure servers are running current versions.

  • Configure server IP addresses, networking settings, and default login credentials.

  • Support network administrators by replacing damaged cables, rerouting connections, replacing optics, and troubleshooting connectivity issues.

  • Rack and stack servers and switches, complete cabling tasks, and prepare equipment for remote configuration by network teams.

  • Install upgraded hardware components and assist with infrastructure deployment activities.

  • Provide support to Data Center and Lab teams as needed.

  • Assist with Level 1 technician responsibilities during periods of increased workload.

Must-Have Skills

  • Strong in data center operations, hardware diagnostics, and server support.

  • Experience with rack and stack, cabling, infrastructure deployments, and hardware installations.

  • Knowledge of firmware updates, server configuration, and network connectivity troubleshooting.

  • Experience supporting network teams with cable management, optics replacement, and hardware upgrades.

  • Ability to work independently and diagnose issues without relying on engineer-led troubleshooting.

  • Experience with data center maintenance, racking, stacking, and cable installation.

  • Two recent professional references are required.

Important Notes

  • Candidates must possess true Level 2 break/fix troubleshooting experience.

  • This is not a remote-hands position or a role where technicians simply follow engineer-provided instructions.
