- Help troubleshoot hardware issues and support spares/RMA decisions
- Maintain inventory documentation
- Solid understanding of server hardware basics (CPU/RAM/storage, NICs, firmware/BIOS, FPGA) and networking fundamentals
- Basic Linux skills for testing/benchmarking
- Accuracy and high level of attention to details
- Ability and willingness to solve problems in non standard way
- Structured troubleshooting mindset
- Comfortable coordinating work with external parties and driving tasks to completion.

- Exciting challenges with ample opportunities for personal and professional growth
- A welcoming international team of highly qualified professionals
- Cutting-edge hardware and technology
- Access any of our global offices anytime
- Flexible schedule
- 40 paid days off
