Server Engineer (On-site Hong Kong)

• Own quality control across the client's manufacturing sites, on the factory floor.
• Run the hardware test lab: board and system bring-up, validation and stress testing of new server builds.
• Oversee the assembly and end-to-end testing of GPU servers before they are deployed into the client's sovereign cloud.
• Define and maintain test procedures, acceptance criteria and QC checkpoints for chassis, boards and full systems.
• Diagnose hardware, firmware and driver-level issues (BIOS/BMC, GPU firmware, PCIe, thermals, power) and drive root-cause analysis with the design and manufacturing teams.
• Validate GPU compute and interconnect performance under Linux using CUDA, NCCL and related benchmarking tools.
• Document failures, yields and test results, and feed findings back into hardware design and production processes.
• Coordinate day to day with manufacturing partners and local suppliers in both English and Mandarin.

• Proven hands-on experience testing and validating GPU/HPC servers (bring-up, burn-in, validation), not only using them.
• Strong Linux skills at the system and hardware level.
• Firmware knowledge: BIOS/UEFI, BMC/IPMI, GPU and NIC firmware, flashing and troubleshooting.
• Working knowledge of the NVIDIA GPU stack: drivers, CUDA, NCCL, and how to benchmark and diagnose multi-GPU systems.
• Solid understanding of server hardware: motherboards, PCIe topology, power, cooling, storage and networking components.
• Experience with QC or manufacturing test processes in a hardware production environment.
• Fluent English and fluent Mandarin (both non-negotiable).
• Willingness to work on-site in Hong Kong, on the factory floor and in the lab.

• Experience with containerized or micro-datacenter deployments (power, thermal and environmental constraints).
• Familiarity with high-speed interconnects (InfiniBand, RoCE, NVLink) and their validation.
• Scripting skills (Bash/Python) to automate test sequences and reporting.
• Exposure to hardware supply chains or contract manufacturers in Hong Kong / Southern China.
• Cantonese.

We're looking for a Server Engineer with hands-on GPU/HPC hardware experience who has tested and validated servers, not just operated them. You should be comfortable moving between the factory floor and the test lab, with a strong Linux background and real familiarity with firmware and GPU software stacks (CUDA, NCCL). You take ownership of quality: if a server ships, it is because you signed off on it. Startup or hyper-growth experience is a strong plus. Autonomy, rigor and problem-solving are essential.

Our client is one of the very few cloud companies that builds its own hardware from the board up. Their mission is to deliver a sovereign, energy-efficient, high-performance alternative to traditional cloud providers, and the servers you test and validate are the physical foundation of that platform. Expect real ownership from day one, a fast-paced environment that values autonomy and problem-solving, and the chance to build something that doesn't exist yet.
