Responsibilities

Own the management and support of racks and server infrastructure across Etched's labs and data center sites, from handoff by our forward-deployed engineers through bring-up, validation, and testing.
Deliver full-stack infrastructure for new lab and data center sites: compute, networking, storage, and the core services (DHCP, DNS, zero-touch provisioning, NFS) that need to be in place before hardware arrives.
Build and maintain bare-metal provisioning for servers, development kits, rack management controllers, and switches, using PXE/iPXE, DHCP, BMC/Redfish-driven imaging, and golden images, so that a newly racked system comes up with no hands on the keyboard.
Troubleshoot Linux hosts end-to-end on custom and early-stage hardware: kernel, PCIe, NIC driver and firmware, bonding, storage, boot, and power issues. Drive each one to the root cause and write it up.
Bring racks onto the network: top-of-rack and uplink configuration, VLAN and IP planning, optics and cabling, in partnership with our network engineers.
Diagnose physical-layer and hardware faults such as link flaps, CRC errors, dirty or failed optics, power faults, and coolant leaks, and coordinate repairs and RMAs with lab staff and vendors.
Run shared lab compute: help our Infrastructure Team members manage the Slurm cluster that lets engineers reserve accelerator systems, including partitions, reservations, and maintenance drains, and expand storage and compute as programs grow.
Extend our observability stack (Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Grafana) to every lab rack, with dashboards and alerts for health, power, and link status across sites.
Write infrastructure automation in Ansible and Python through reviewed, tested pull requests, and build tooling that serves both tightly controlled environments and the varied needs of individual lab teams.
Manage software releases and changes on lab systems under change control, respond to incidents, and keep runbooks, inventory, and design records current as you work.
Representative Projects
Stand up the full infrastructure for our Milpitas hardware facility as it comes online for next-generation rack validation: network, provisioning, storage, telemetry, and access, ready before the first engineering cabinets are built.
