- 15+ years of experience in systems software at datacenter scale, or reliability engineering with focus on at-scale challenges.
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- Deep expertise in multi-NUMA, rack-scale system software and firmware. Statistical failure analysis methods: MTBF/MTBI calculation, Pareto analysis, root cause classification
- Experience with fleet-level telemetry and observability systems: time-series databases, anomaly detection, health scoring, event correlation
- Understanding of hardware failure modes in large-scale GPU/accelerator deployments — ability to classify and prioritize across compute, interconnect, memory, power, and thermal domains
- Experience defining or operating burn-in, stress testing, or certification frameworks for complex hardware systems. Familiarity with predictive maintenance or anomaly detection approaches applied to fleet health data
- Customer obsession – genuine passion for understanding fleet reliability challenges at scale and translating them into actionable engineering priorities
- Strong communication – ability to present statistical reliability findings to both deep technical audiences and executive leadership. Demonstrated success driving cross-functional improvements across hardware, firmware, and software teams without direct authority
Ways to stand out from the crowd
- Experience in fleet reliability at a hyperscaler (hardware health, fleet reliability at leading CSP/Hyperscaler)
- Familiarity with NVIDIA GPU error taxonomy (Xid errors, NVLink error counters, thermal events, CPER records)
- Experience building health scoring or predictive failure models for accelerator or HPC infrastructure
- Background in defining MTBI/MTBF measurement standards or certification programs for complex multi-component systems
- Understanding of how reliability data flows from device firmware through telemetry pipelines to fleet-level dashboards and automated remediation
