Hardware Systems Engineer

About This Role

This hardware engineering role supports the validation and production readiness of AI and high-performance computing infrastructure deployed across Meta's global data centers. You will work at the intersection of AI silicon, server systems, and data center operations, partnering with hardware design, firmware, software, and capacity engineering teams to bring AI accelerators and GPU-based server platforms from new product introduction through full-scale deployment. Your work will directly influence the reliability, scalability, and performance of the AI infrastructure that powers Meta's machine learning and AI initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Lead hardware system validation and qualification activities for AI server platforms, GPU clusters, and AI accelerator systems entering Meta's production data center environment
• Drive new product introduction efforts for AI/HPC hardware by defining acceptance criteria, coordinating bring-up activities, and managing cross-functional readiness reviews with silicon, firmware, and software teams
• Develop and execute test plans covering thermal, power, and electrical characterization of AI server systems at component, board, and rack levels
• Investigate and root-cause complex hardware failures across the full stack, including AI silicon, firmware, system software, and thermal subsystems
• Collaborate with AI silicon vendors and original design manufacturers to resolve hardware issues, drive engineering change orders, and ensure production quality standards are met
• Define and improve hardware qualification methodologies and failure analysis processes for AI/HPC platforms to scale across large fleet deployments
• Partner with AI platform and capacity engineering teams to support hardware deployment planning, rack integration, and production ramp execution for GPU and AI accelerator systems
• Analyze fleet telemetry, failure rate data, and field return trends to identify systemic reliability risks in AI infrastructure and drive corrective actions
• Contribute to AI hardware design reviews and provide feedback on system architecture, component selection, and manufacturability to improve production outcomes
• Communicate hardware qualification status, risk assessments, and deployment readiness for AI/HPC systems to cross-functional stakeholders and engineering leadership

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in hardware engineering with a focus on AI servers, GPUs, AI accelerators, or high-performance computing systems in a data center environment
• 6+ years of experience in hardware validation, system bring-up, or new product introduction for AI/HPC platforms
• Experience debugging hardware failures across multiple domains including power delivery, thermal management, signal integrity, or high-speed interconnects such as PCIe, NVLink, or HBM in AI systems
