In this role you will lead end-to-end hardware quality for large-scale AI/GPU data-center fleets, driving early failure detection and root-cause analysis. You will partner with data center operations, firmware, diagnostics, and vendor teams to improve reliability and reduce MTTR across production AI infrastructure. You’ll own fleet-level quality assessments and shape diagnostics workflows to enable faster, data-driven repairs. This is a chance to impact scalable, high-availability cloud hardware at Microsoft.
Responsibilities:
Lead deep-dive investigations into complex hardware failures across AI/GPU platforms. Perform single-node and rack-level validation to confirm remediation effectiveness. Analyze large volumes of telemetry, logs, and diagnostics data to identify failure patterns. Define and drive lightweight diagnostics and telemetry workflows for validation before ticket closure. Partner with diagnostics and platform teams to enable out-of-band telemetry collection and integrate diagnostics into workflows. Own fleet-level quality assessments for AI and GPU deployments across production and initial deployment phases. Drive improvements to failure detection latency, root cause attribution, and preventative quality controls. Coordinate with Firmware and electrical engineering for corrective actions and improve hardware reliability. Collaborate with supply chain and spares to align hardware availability with remediation needs. Work with Data center operations leadership to scale solutions globally and meet SLAs. Produce and maintain technical documentation, FMEA, and quality playbooks for operational excellence.
