Hardware Platform Engineer - Data Center Systems & Rack Integration

** Job Description*
* As compute density and cooling complexity increase, OCI depends on hardware platforms that are both innovative and deployable s role ensures new designs are consistent, practical, and ready for global deployment.

** Responsibilities*
* ** Key Responsibilities*
* Hardware Platform Development & Integration

+ Lead integration of rack-level hardware platforms for data center deployment

+ Ensure designs meet requirements for mechanical integrity, thermal performance, serviceability, and scale

+ Drive system-level design across compute, cooling, and infrastructure interfaces

+ Partner with internal and external teams to validate designs

Data Center Interface & Deployment Readiness

+ Define platform interfaces with infrastructure, including:

+ Liquid cooling (CDUs, fluid routing, connections)

+ Installation, transport, and handling

+ Facility interfaces (space, power, cooling, serviceability)

+ Ensure deployment readiness and resolve gaps impacting scale

Telemetry & Observability

+ Define telemetry requirements (power, temperature, flow, pressure, system health)

+ Ensure instrumentation is enabled at deployment

+ Partner with software/data teams to support monitoring and analysis

+ Identify and close gaps in telemetry coverage and data quality

Standards & Documentation

+ Drive standardization across rack platforms

+ Establish best practices for connections, transport, leak detection, and instrumentation

+ Maintain documentation as a source of truth

Cross-Functional Leadership

+ Collaborate across OHD, engineering, operations, supply chain, and software teams

+ Align with external partners (OEMs, silicon vendors)

+ Drive technical decisions and bring structure to complex efforts

Issue Resolution & Continuous Improvement

+ Track and resolve platform issues, especially during early deployment

+ Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions

+ Use field data and telemetry insights to improve designs and processes

** Required Qualifications*
* + Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or closely related discipline

+ 6+ years in hardware engineering, mechanical systems, or data center infrastructure

+

Experience with complex, rack- or system-level hardware

+ Strong foundation in mechanical, thermal, and/or fluid systems

+

Experience with hardware instrumentation/telemetry is a plus

+ Proven ability to drive outcomes across teams

+ Strong problem-solving and communication skills

** Preferred Qualifications*
* + Data center infrastructure and rack-level design experience

+ Familiarity with liquid cooling (e.g., direct-to-chip, CDU systems)

+

Experience with platform standardization or system integration at scale

+ Experience working with hardware vendors or OEMs

+ Exposure to high-density compute platforms (e.g., GPUs)

+ Experience supporting deployment or commissioning

+ Familiarity with telemetry or performance monitoring systems

** What We're Looking For*
* + Ownership:
Takes responsibility beyond defined scope

+ Systems Thinking:
Understands hardware, infrastructure, and operations holistically

+ Execution:
Drives progress in ambiguity

+

Collaboration:

Influences across teams

+ Detail Orientation:
Ensures designs are practical and deployment-ready
