Data Center Technician, Fluidstack Labs

Role Scope

• Own the lab floor: rack-and-stack execution, structured copper and fiber cabling, hardware installs and swaps, and part replacement on first-sample compute, network, and storage platforms, keeping asset records accurate through every change.
• Receive and inventory every piece of equipment through the lab, handle RMAs end to end, and document installations and change activity physically and photographically so the record matches the floor.
• Provide smart-hands support for remote engineering teams and hardware partners: cabling diagnosis and replacement, component reseats and swaps, console access, and the on-the-floor eyes that unblock a remote debug session.
• Support liquid cooling work alongside deployment engineering, including CDU manifold connections and visual leak inspection, with the floor discipline that high-density liquid-cooled racks demand.
• Act as first point of contact for facility-floor issues, escalating to the lab's technical leads, and escort vendors and partners during on-site visits while keeping their equipment, access, and confidentiality boundaries clean.

Requirements

• Deployed and supported server and network hardware in a live data center or hardware lab: racked it, cabled it, fixed it, and kept it running.
• Troubleshoot server hardware deeply: POST, BIOS, PXE, IPMI, BMC, and component-level repair.
• Know network fundamentals (TCP/IP, Ethernet) and hardware (switches, routers, copper and fiber) well enough to diagnose physical-layer faults yourself.
• Work comfortably in Linux for hands-on diagnosis and recovery at the console.
• Asset records, labels, and documentation are habits: what's on the floor always matches what's in the system.
• Worked around unreleased or partner-owned hardware, or comfortable doing so, treating what you see and touch as confidential.

Nice-to-Haves

• GPU server fleets.
• Hyperscale or high-density AI infrastructure.
• Liquid-cooled systems.
• Scripting (Python, Bash).
• Structured cabling.
