OpenAI's Industrial Compute group is hiring a Hardware Operations Engineer to act as technical authority for hardware reliability and fleet health at one of its AI campuses. The job covers triaging hardware failures on production systems, leading root-cause investigations, writing maintenance procedures and runbooks, coordinating repairs with cloud providers and OEM vendors, and mentoring technicians. It asks for 8+ years supporting large-scale datacenter hardware, plus deep server, GPU, storage and rack-integration knowledge. Distinctive: five-day-a-week onsite datacenter presence, and standards meant to scale across future campuses.
