Quick Facts

  • Role: Senior Hardware Engineer
  • Focus: AI-native end-to-end debugging, diagnostics, and agentic automation for hyperscale datacenter infrastructure

Description

You will architect and deliver AI-native system debug solutions across hardware, firmware, software, and platform layers for global cloud infrastructure. You will design agentic workflows that accelerate failure detection, triage, segmentation, root cause analysis, mitigation, remediation, and learning, while building reusable diagnostic capabilities. The role emphasizes safe, governed agent execution models and measurable improvements in reliability and diagnosability.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and deliver AI-native end-to-end system debug solutions using telemetry, automation, and agentic workflows
  • Design and orchestrate human-agent workflows for failure detection, triage, root-cause analysis, mitigation, and learning
  • Build reusable agentic skills, tools, and workflows for autonomous or human-supervised execution at scale
  • Lead cross-functional root-cause initiatives across hardware, firmware, software, and datacenter systems
  • Own measurable improvements such as faster fault isolation, reduced time to root cause, defect reduction, automation coverage, and prevention of repeat failures
  • Investigate complex, ambiguous failures using deep technical judgment
  • Develop at-scale debug methodologies, diagnostic strategies, validation techniques, and automated test routines
  • Create closed-loop learning systems that convert incidents and decisions into reusable knowledge
  • Define safe and governed agentic execution models with human-in-the-loop, validation, observability, permissions, and escalation
  • Drive the transition from engineer-driven to outcome-driven execution with intent and guardrails
  • Provide technical leadership on emerging AI/agent/diagnostic/telemetry/automation technologies
  • Communicate decisions, risks, and progress through data-driven narratives

Requirements

  • Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field with 3+ years technical engineering experience, or Bachelor’s degree with 5+ years technical engineering experience, or equivalent experience
  • Ability to meet required security screening requirements, including passing the Microsoft Cloud Background Check and re-passing every two years
