Server Engineer – GPU/HPC Hardware Testing (Hybrid, Hong Kong)

About the role

We are recruiting for a European deep‑tech company building a sovereign, energy‑efficient alternative to traditional cloud providers. The role is on‑site in Hong Kong, working on the factory floor, test lab and manufacturing sites to test and validate GPU/HPC servers.

Key responsibilities

• Own quality control across the client's manufacturing sites, on the factory floor.
• Run the hardware test lab: board and system bring‑up, validation and stress testing of new server builds.
• Oversee the assembly and end‑to‑end testing of GPU servers before deployment into the sovereign cloud.
• Define and maintain test procedures, acceptance criteria and QC checkpoints for chassis, boards and full systems.
• Diagnose hardware, firmware and driver‑level issues (BIOS/BMC, GPU firmware, PCIe, thermals, power) and drive root‑cause analysis with design and manufacturing teams.
• Validate GPU compute and interconnect performance under Linux using CUDA, NCCL and related benchmarking tools.
• Document failures, yields and test results, and feed findings back into hardware design and production processes.
• Coordinate day‑to‑day with manufacturing partners and local suppliers in both English and Mandarin.

Required profile

• Proven hands‑on experience testing and validating GPU/HPC servers (bring‑up, burn‑in, validation).
• Strong Linux skills at the system and hardware level.
• Firmware knowledge: BIOS/UEFI, BMC/IPMI, GPU and NIC firmware, flashing and troubleshooting.
• Working knowledge of the NVIDIA GPU stack: drivers, CUDA, NCCL, and benchmarking multi‑GPU systems.
• Solid understanding of server hardware: motherboards, PCIe topology, power, cooling, storage and networking components.
• Experience with QC or manufacturing test processes in a hardware production environment.
• Fluent English and fluent Mandarin (both non‑negotiable).
• Willingness to work on‑site in Hong Kong, on the factory floor and in the lab.

Required skills

• Linux (system and hardware level)
• BIOS/UEFI and BMC/IPMI firmware
• GPU and NIC firmware flashing and troubleshooting
• NVIDIA drivers, CUDA, NCCL
• Server hardware knowledge (PCIe, power, cooling, storage, networking)
• Bash scripting
• Python scripting
• InfiniBand, RoCE, NVLink (high‑speed interconnects)
