Job summary

Cerebras Systems Inc. in Sunnyvale, CA is seeking a Hardware Analytics Engineer to design and operate scalable data pipelines for telemetry, reliability analytics, and performance optimization across AI server platforms.

You will develop frameworks using Python, SQL, Tableau, Hive, and Spark to forecast hardware failures, lead thermal studies, and deliver actionable recommendations to improve efficiency and sustainability.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 3 years of experience as Hardware Analytics Engineer or related roles.

Responsibilities

• Design and optimize scalable data pipeline architectures for multi-terabyte hardware telemetry, reliability analytics, and performance optimization.
• Architect, develop, and optimize hyperscale data pipeline frameworks and ETL processes to aggregate, process, and analyze multi-terabyte hardware performance and telemetry streams across heterogeneous compute, storage, and AI server platforms.
• Design and implement hardware performance analysis and anomaly detection systems using Python, SQL, Tableau, Hive, and Spark to forecast hardware failure curves, identify performance bottlenecks, and generate prescriptive recommendations for hardware and system optimization.
• Lead hardware characterization experiments and thermal/cooling A/B studies to evaluate operational envelopes, delivering validated strategies that reduce carbon footprint, improve water usage efficiency, and maintain or enhance system reliability.
• Engineer telemetry ingestion, monitoring, and visualization systems to provide real-time, high-fidelity hardware health data to hardware, firmware, and datacenter operations teams, enabling data-driven decision-making at scale.
• Define, operationalize, and maintain custom efficiency and reliability metrics; perform root cause analysis of systemic failures using large-scale statistical and machine learning methods; and deploy solutions that improve platform scalability, energy efficiency, and sustainability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to troubleshoot complex failures, isolate defective components, and implement systemic fixes across CPU, GPU, DRAM, PCIe, networking, and storage subsystems.
• Support the evolution and optimization of next-generation AI platforms and silicon products, including hardware subsystems (CPU, GPU, DRAM, PCIe, networking, and storage), to meet the performance, scalability, and efficiency demands of large language model training and inference workloads.
