Hardware Systems Engineer, NPI - Meta

Summary:

Meta is seeking a Hardware Systems Engineer to join our Release to Production (RTP) team working on new NPI hardware. Our servers and data centers are the foundation upon which our rapidly scaling infrastructure operates efficiently to deliver our innovative services. The RTP team is responsible for the end-to-end Hardware Lifecycle of all Meta servers including prototyping of experimental HW, pre-production hands-on system and hardware debugging and stress testing, enabling production-ready system monitoring, automated provisioning and automated remediation of issues. RTP team also helps in exploring, developing and productizing high-performance software and hardware technologies for AI at datacenter scale. Hardware Systems Engineer in RTP work closely with HW/SW co-design teams, hardware designers, networking teams, system manufacturers, component vendors, capacity engineering, production engineering, production services, and data center operations teams to enable new systems that will be deployed in our production data centers. We also work across service and hardware architectures for new AI systems, build prototypes to demonstrate the value, enable go/no-go decisions and optimize these systems in production.
