Description
As a Field Delivery Engineer at Nebius, you will lead the on-site delivery and deployment of hardware in new locations. You will plan, coordinate, and supervise activities from rack acceptance tests through full operational readiness, ensuring that servers, storage, networking, and supporting systems are installed and functioning according to specifications.
Responsibilities:
Planning & Coordination
- Own the hardware deployment plan for new sites, aligning timelines, scope, and resources with project stakeholders.
- Coordinate with logistics, supply chain, data center construction, and network teams to prepare GPU servers for delivery to customers.
- Verify all pre-deployment requirements (racks, power, cooling, connectivity) are met.
On-Site Delivery & Installation
- Supervise racking, cabling, and powering of hardware equipment.
- Ensure configuration, firmware upgrades, and integration with management systems follow standards.
- Work closely with vendors, contractors, and local staff during the installation phase.
Quality & Readiness
- Conduct functional checks, acceptance tests, and troubleshooting to confirm all systems operate correctly.
- Document installation steps, asset data, and lessons learned for future rollouts.
- Establish and maintain best practices for safe, efficient hardware deployment.
Collaboration & Reporting
- Act as the single point of contact on site for deployment activities, providing clear updates to project managers and leadership.
- Support transition of deployed hardware to operations teams for steady-state management.
- Contribute feedback to improve hardware design and deployment playbooks.
Requirements:
- 3+ years' experience in data center, hardware, or IT field delivery roles.
- Strong knowledge of server, storage, and network installation practices (racking, cabling, power, cooling).
- Strong hands-on experience working on datacenter floors with server hardware and Linux troubleshooting.
- Proven track record coordinating deployments across multiple stakeholders and vendors.
- Ability to read and interpret technical documentation, layouts, and wiring diagrams.
- Ability to perform deep diagnostics across hardware, firmware (BIOS/BMC), and Linux (logs, drivers, storage stack basics, performance triage).
- Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Willingness to travel frequently (sometimes at short notice).
Nice to Have:
- Strong familiarity with GPU server platforms and tooling (for example: nvidia-smi, dcgmi, GPU and system logs correlation).
- Experience with Redfish and BMC tooling (ipmitool/Redfish), firmware lifecycle, and staged rollouts.
- Scripting skills (bash and basic Python) for log collection, triage automation, and simple reliability analysis.
- Exposure to OCP-based platforms and ODM manufacturing ecosystems.
- Familiarity with change management, asset tracking, and quality-assurance processes.
- Understanding of health, safety, and environmental standards in datacenter or industrial settings.
Benefits & Perks:
- Competitive compensation
- Career growth and learning opportunities
- Flexibility and ownership
- Collaborative and innovative culture
- Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects
- International environment and talented teams
