Compute Engineer, R&D

FluidStack is building civilization-scale compute infrastructure for AI by acquiring power, designing data centers, and operating them. This Compute Engineer, R&D role focuses on qualifying next-generation compute hardware — GPUs, servers, and racks — before deployment to the fleet, ensuring they meet performance, power, and thermal standards. What You'll Do Qualify and validate next-generation GPUs, servers, and racks against deployment standards before fleet deployment Build and run benchmark suites to characterize performance, power, and thermal behavior under real workloads Conduct stress testing, fault injection, and endurance runs to identify hardware weaknesses early Root-cause hardware failures across silicon, firmware, and system levels Write qualification reports documenting configurations, firmware, and known issues that become fleet standards What You Need Hands-on experience qualifying, validating, or debugging server or GPU systems Rigorous benchmarking methodology with reproducible methods and controlled variables Ability to root-cause hardware failures across silicon, firmware, and system levels Scripting and automation skills to drive work programmatically rather than via checklists Experience working with hardware vendors on bug fixes and getting patches shipped Nice to Have NVIDIA or AMD accelerator platform experience BMC and firmware depth Thermal and power characterization expertise Linux systems depth #J-18808-Ljbffr
