Senior HPC Platform Hardware Engineer

Role description

Role Overview

Hardware Engineering at Lambda is responsible for building and scaling the physical infrastructure behind the Superintelligence Cloud. Our scope spans the full hardware lifecycle: roadmap and architecture, proof-of-concept for state-of-the-art platforms, new product introduction (NPI), and fleet-scale maintenance — all engineered for gigawatt-scale AI factories with rack-first design, advanced liquid cooling, and next-generation interconnects at the cutting edge of the industry.

What You Will 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.

Why It Might Be a Fit

5 years of technical lead experience on hardware NPI and deployment for HPC, data center, or cloud infrastructure products, familiar with hardware NPI processes. Possess deep knowledge and hands-on experiences in one or many of the following hardware platforms: AI/ML, general compute (x86 and ARM), storage systems, or network switches.

Requirements

• 5 years of technical lead experience on hardware NPI and deployment for HPC, data center, or cloud infrastructure products, familiar with hardware NPI processes.
• Deep knowledge and hands-on experiences in one or many of the following hardware platforms: AI/ML, general compute (x86 and ARM), storage systems, or network switches.
• Broad hardware engineering domain knowledge in one or many of the below areas: electrical, thermal, mechanical, power, signal integrity, safety, compliance, reliability and manufacturing.
• Experience in identifying, triaging and root causing hardware issues during NPI and at scale in the fleet.
• Experience in PLM systems and BOM structure.
