AI/HPC Hardware Solutions Engineer

AMAX; Missouri; On-site; USD 110,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

AMAX is seeking a Hardware Solutions Engineer to translate customer requirements into scalable AI/HPC server and infrastructure designs. You will lead system design, BOM definitions, firmware tuning, and production readiness while coordinating with sales, manufacturing, and engineering teams.

The role focuses on GPU-accelerated clusters, high-speed networking, and storage architectures, with hands-on validation, POC delivery, and on-site or remote deployment support as needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Hands-on experience with HPC clusters, AI/ML infrastructure, or GPU-accelerated systems.
• Strong knowledge of server architecture (x86/ARM), CPU/GPU platforms, memory, storage, and networking.
• Experience with high-speed interconnects (InfiniBand, RDMA, NVLink, high-performance Ethernet).
• Familiarity with OEM server platforms and system integration, including BIOS/BMC, firmware, and hardware validation.
• Understanding of manufacturing and system integration processes (rack integration, burn-in, QA, and deployment workflows).
• Experience with Linux environments
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and performance optimization skills across the full hardware and system stack.
• Experience working across customers, sales, and engineering/manufacturing teams.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with sales and customers to translate requirements into scalable AI/HPC system designs, including compute, GPU configurations, high speed networking, and storage architectures.
• Design, architect, and implement HPC and AI/ML infrastructure solutions, including GPU-accelerated clusters, high-speed storage, and low-latency networking.
• Lead the end-to-end solution lifecycle from pre-sales architecture through system integration, validation, and deployment in customer environments.
• Drive OEM server and appliance configuration, including BOM definition, firmware/BIOS tuning, thermal/power considerations, and manufacturability alignment.
• Work closely with manufacturing and integration teams to ensure system-level validation, rack integration, burn-in testing, and production readiness for complex server appliances.
• Deliver technical presentations, demos, and POCs focused on AI workloads, HPC simulations, and data-intensive applications.
• Support cluster bring-up and optimization, including OS provisioning, workload managers, container platforms, and GPU software stacks.
• Provide advanced troubleshooting and performance tuning across compute, GPU, storage, and networking subsystems.
• Perform on-site or remote deployment support, including rack-level integration, cluster commissioning, and acceptance testing.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including solution architectures, integration guides, and manufacturing/test procedures.
• Interface with cross-functional teams to resolve complex system-level issues and improve product quality.
• Stay current with emerging technologies in AI infrastructure, HPC architectures, GPU platforms, and data center design.
