Job description
Build More Than Just a Career. Build Your Future.
At Vailexa, we’re not just hiring — we’re building thinkers, creators, and future leaders.
We believe in giving people the space to grow, the freedom to think, and the opportunity to create real impact from day one. If you’re someone who wants to learn fast, take ownership, and grow beyond limits, you’ll feel right at home here.
Key Responsibilities
- Execute and coordinate rack-level deployment of compute, network, and storage infrastructure for AI and HPC environments.
- Validate rack elevations, port maps, cable maps, power distribution, labeling, and physical connectivity before cluster handoff.
- Perform detailed cable validation across Ethernet, InfiniBand, management, and storage interconnects.
- Detect and resolve cabling defects including polarity issues, incorrect port destinations, unsupported optics pairings, breakout errors, damaged media, and inconsistent labeling.
- Support hardware bring-up by validating BIOS baselines, BMC reachability, inventory accuracy, and initial connectivity tests.
- Partner with network and Linux teams during cluster turn-up to quickly isolate physical-layer versus logical-layer failures.
- Create deployment checklists, as-built documentation, and signoff criteria for production acceptance.
- Drive structured remediation during expansion, re-cabling, or failed build events.
Required Qualifications
- 7+ years in data center deployment, HPC infrastructure installation, or large-scale hardware integration.
- Strong practical knowledge of structured cabling, optics, transceivers, breakout schemes, and rack-level physical validation.
- Experience reading and validating rack diagrams, patch plans, cable matrices, and topology documentation.
- Strong troubleshooting skill for Layer 1 issues that manifest as network instability, missing hosts, degraded performance, or failed cluster readiness checks.
- Experience with asset tracking, labeling discipline, and deployment quality control.
- Ability to work across physical infrastructure, server hardware, and network operations teams without losing detail.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in GPU cluster deployment or AI factory buildouts.
- Familiarity with automated cable validation or DCIM-integrated deployment workflows.
- Working knowledge of host provisioning and network validation sufficient to accelerate multi-team turn-up.
