Systems Integration Engineer - Meta

The Systems Integration Engineer (SIE) is responsible for the successful Integration of new hardware platforms & new infrastructure technologies into the data center. This includes leading the system design for serviceability (DFS) requirements development, implementation along with validating new data center hardware tooling & automation readiness for deployment at scale.Meta is seeking a forward thinking, experienced engineer with deep technical leadership experience and skills in Server Hardware, high performance Compute, Storage, ASICs, Accelerators (GPU), and/or Networking in a data center environment.The ideal candidate has expertise in introduction of new hardware platforms into data centers and has either developed robust hardware system test plans, or validation planning as a systems engineer supporting AI/ML, compute, storage & network hardware in a data center environment. These skills will be used to develop test plans for operational integration of future AI/ML, compute, storage and networking products into the existing software tooling infrastructure. The candidate shall also have good knowledge for the AI/ML system architecture at the block level with hands on skills to triage the systematic failures in the field. This candidate must possess excellent communication, leadership, interpersonal and organizational skills, plus strong engineering, program management and analytical skills. This role will interact with cross functional teams and individuals of all levels. This role requires an experienced, dedicated professional to effectively collaborate and influence internal stakeholders on the validation of infrastructure tooling support for Meta designed hardware. If you have a strong appetite for technology and enjoy working in small, agile, empowered teams solving complex problems within a high energy, dynamic environment then this is the role for you. This position is full-time.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Systems Integration Engineer Responsibilities:

• Lead new product introduction and associated processes for the successful launch of new hardware platforms into our data centers globally.
