Data Center Engineer

About the Role:

The L2 Engineer is the technical resolution authority for all infrastructure faults that exceed L1's first-response capability. Operating onsite 24×7, L2 engineers own each incident ticket from the point of escalation through to hardware-level resolution or formal handoff to L3, maintaining ticket ownership throughout the entire escalation lifecycle. The role demands deep, hands-on expertise across GPU compute, liquid-cooling systems, high-speed network fabric, and server infrastructure in a large-scale, mission-critical GPU cloud environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Performs in-depth fault diagnosis and hardware-level resolution across the full infrastructure stack, including GPU server faults (card detection, PCIe/NVLink link status, thermal and power anomalies, ECC error tracking), liquid-cooling system anomalies (CDU and secondary loop: inlet/outlet temperature, flow rate, differential pressure), NVIDIA InfiniBand and converged network faults, and enterprise server and storage issues.

• Authors Root Cause Analysis (RCA) documentation for every incident, capturing fault timeline, diagnostic findings, actions taken, and preventive recommendations.

• Governs all infrastructure changes through the CAB, accountable for change request submission, approval coordination, maintenance window execution, rollback planning, and post-change verification.

• Initiates formal escalation to L3/OEM with a complete evidence package (diagnostic logs, DCGM output, hardware status reports, incident timelines) when standard diagnostic and replacement procedures are exhausted, while retaining ticket ownership until full resolution.

• Maintains firmware and driver baseline compliance across all in-scope infrastructure, monitoring CVE advisories and OEM bulletins, executing baseline drift corrections within approved maintenance windows, with minimum 90-day configuration backup retention.

• Supports the knowledge transfer programme through a shadow/pairing model with IOH's embedded operational counterparts from service commencement.

Qualifications & Skills:

• Min. 3–5 years in Data Center / infrastructure operations, with direct hands-on experience on GPU servers / HPC clusters (not general servers only).

• In-depth GPU diagnostics (nvidia-smi/lspci, PCIe/NVLink, thermal & power, ECC error tracking).

• Rack-scale GB200 NVL72 (Schedule A - Voltage).

• Server B300 (Schedule B & C – Penguin & Taylor Swift).

• Liquid-cooling systems (CDU & secondary loop), operation, monitoring, and anomaly handling (Schedule A - Voltage).

• NVIDIA InfiniBand + converged/management networking.

• Enterprise server & storage: fault isolation & vendor escalation.
