Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU.
If you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us.
*Note: This position requires presence in our San Jose office location 4 days per week; Lambda’s designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.
Hardware Engineering at Lambda is responsible for building and scaling the physical infrastructure powering all of Lambda's products. 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 operations — 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. If you want your hardware work running at the frontier of AI compute, at a scale few teams in the industry operate at, this is that team.
עיקרי התפקיד
Own system integration validation for new HPC AI/ML, general purpose compute, storage, and network hardware platforms throughout hardware NPI and deployment readiness.
Development and execution of functional, stress, reliability, error-injection and benchmark tests on new hardware systems. Enable automated tools for doing scale testing.
Collaborate with HPC deployment and operation teams, fleet engineering teams, infrastructure engineering and PMO teams to facilitate tooling automation and L10/L11/L12 level benchmarking throughout hardware NPI and at new hardware deployment.
Manage the firmware and software compatibility, track and recommend firmware and software releases during NPI, support HPC operation team on firmware and software maintenance after production release.
Support RMA team on critical hardware issues’ triage and Root-Cause-Analysis after deployment; own fleet hardware issues’ failure correlation, trend analysis, close the loop with Platform Hardware Engineer and Quality team to improve product reliability.
Own hands-on lab setup and test infrastructure for repeatable hardware evaluation, partnering with Platform Hardware Engineer, Data Center Engineering, and Cluster Network Design to ensure new platforms can be brought up, instrumented, stressed, benchmarked, and debugged consistently.
Manage hardware vendors regarding hardware validation and manufacturing testing; support new vendor evaluation and Quarterly Business Review on hardware vendors.
Drive alternate component qualification from technical evaluation through PLM enablement, develop and execute validation plans for key commodities such as memory, SSDs, NICs, PSUs, PDUs, fans, cables, optics, and transceivers.
