THE ROLE

We have an opportunity for an Electronics Engineering Technician with knowledge and experience across electrical theory fundamentals and complex server electronics. In this role, you will use oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, analyzers, and other electronic lab equipment to test, troubleshoot, repair and modify printed circuit board (PCB) level electrical circuits and discrete component-level hardware for GPU-based compute platforms.

In this role, you will support multiple Engineering teams in enabling innovative new product introduction of reliable, high-performance AI compute at scale.

This opportunity is an onsite role based in our engineering lab in Austin, TX supporting state-of-the-art AI Data Center Systems including servers and GPUs.

THE PERSON

You are highly motivated and able to work independently, and known for excellent collaboration and teamwork supporting multiple engineering teams. Even working at a fast pace, you have a well-earned reputation for strong attention to detail, documentation discipline, and a consistently safety-focused mindset.

Your excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal skills enable you to work efficiently and with respect for all levels of staff including engineers, technicians, and operations.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Perform board-level electrical circuit testing and debugging on PCBs, including troubleshooting, removal, repair, replacement, and soldering of discrete components (vs replacing assemblies)
• Read and work from electrical schematics, take electrical measurements, and use lab test equipment while following ESD protocols in high-power equipment environments
• Perform bring-up and debug of server hardware components, PCBs, GPUs, and interconnects
• Execute hardware modifications, including:
  • Cable routing and management for power, networking, and high-speed interconnects
  • Installation of GPUs, NICs, memory, storage, and accelerators
  • Test point installation, probing, and signal measurements
• Diagnose power, thermal, cooling, GPU detection, and PCIe issues
• Support failure analysis and root-cause investigations
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams across hardware, systems, facilities, IT, and safety
• Maintain accurate documentation of configurations, changes, debug findings, and test results
• Support lab and data center operations, including rack installation, rework, and audits

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Hands-on electronics experience at the board level with server hardware, PCBs, and GPU or accelerator-based compute platforms
• Knowledge and experience in electrical fundamentals including Ohm's Law; voltage, current, resistance, capacitance including microfarads, and power; AC/DC, series/parallel circuits, and full bridge; and discrete components including diodes, capacitors, inductors, resistors, transistors, and FETs
• Experience understanding and working from electrical schematics and circuit diagrams to support board-level circuit debugging, tracing signals and power, locating test points, isolating faults, and working with prototypes and circuit boards
• Proficiency with electronic lab test equipment, including DMMs, oscilloscopes, bench power supplies, logic analyzers, and impedance analyzers to take and interpret electrical measurements and signals/waveforms (vs software based system level testing)
• Hands-on experience with discrete component-level rework and repair including discrete component removal, replacement and soldering (vs assembly replacement)

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS

• Associate degree or trade education certification in Electronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field preferred
• Electronics theory and design coursework is desirable
• Related electronics or electrical certifications are highly desirable

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
