About TensorWave

Power AI workloads with AMD Instinct™ GPUs. Scale models faster with high-performance, dedicated cloud compute.

About the role

We are building and operating large-scale infrastructure platforms to support high-performance AI workloads across multiple data centers. Our environment includes GPU-intensive systems, high-throughput networking, and rapidly scaling compute clusters. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 6+ years in infrastructure engineering, hardware validation, systems engineering, or a closely related field
  • Deep hands-on experience with BMCs and out-of-band management — Redfish, IPMI, iDRAC, iLO, or equivalent — including scripted interaction, not clicking through a web UI
  • Direct firmware experience flashing, qualifying, and troubleshooting BIOS, BMC, and device firmware on enterprise servers, and a clear sense of how badly this can go wrong at scale
  • Strong Linux systems skills: boot process, kernel and driver behavior, and hardware diagnostics such as {{dmesg}}, {{lspci}}, {{ipmitool}}, SMART, and vendor CLIs
  • Ability to read low-level hardware signals: PCIe topology and error output, SEL and sensor data, thermal and power telemetry
  • Python for automation against REST APIs — Redfish, vendor tooling, and internal systems
More about this role

Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale. We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack. Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure.

We are building and operating large-scale infrastructure platforms to support high-performance AI workloads across multiple data centers. Our environment includes GPU-intensive systems, high-throughput networking, and rapidly scaling compute clusters.

We are looking for a Senior Hardware Diagnostics Engineer to own that surface: which versions we run, how we prove a version is safe, and how we push it across a fleet without breaking production. You'll set the bar for what validated hardware means here, build the tooling that enforces it, and be the person we escalate to when a failure doesn't make sense.

Firmware is where a lot of our hardest problems live. A BIOS revision changes how a GPU enumerates. A BMC update fixes one thing and breaks telemetry.

Own the firmware lifecycle across BIOS, BMC, NIC, GPU, and storage controllers: version qualification,...
