Description

Build More Than Just a Career. Build Your Future.

At Vailexa, we’re not just hiring — we’re building thinkers, creators, and future leaders.

We believe in giving people the space to grow, the freedom to think, and the opportunity to create real impact from day one. If you’re someone who wants to learn fast, take ownership, and grow beyond limits, you’ll feel right at home here.

This role is much more Linux/server/datacenter focused than Windows focused, lets make Linux troubleshooting and command-line experience a primary requirement Familiarity with server hardware, provisioning, OS deployment, firmware flashing, system recovery, and hardware troubleshooting is ideal Basic networking knowledge (TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, switching/routing fundamentals) - supports rack bring-up and recovery activities. This is important. Python and Bash scripting would likely be more relevant than PowerShell for this role, also very important. Experience in datacenter operations, hardware validation, manufacturing, lab support, or large-scale server environments this role supports critical engineering operations and may require overtime, evening/night work, weekend coverage, and changing schedules based on business needs. Candidates should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly. The day-to-day responsibilities include updating FW on multiple racks simultaneously, launching and monitoring diagnostic workloads, recovering failed systems/trays, troubleshooting hardware and software issues, and supporting engineering teams around the clock when needed.
What you'll be doing:
  • Assemble, build, and install bench top development platforms and large server systems.
  • Prepare boards for detailed solder reworks to be completed by another lab.
  • Connect oscilloscope probes to boards and collect signal waveform data.
  • Perform mechanical reworks involving power tools such as a Dremel.
  • Run system tests. Collect and report on testing results. Screen modules and boards as part of validation testing and debug.
  • Support lab shipping & receiving logistics and manage inventory of equipment and materials.
  • Maintain and organize the lab equipment for efficiency and continuously look for ways to improve lab processes.
What We Need to See:
  • Diploma/Certification, Associate or Bachelor’s Degree in related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Min 2+ years of hands-on experience in an electronic or testing lab in the areas of silicon bring up, board-level design/validation, or system design/validation.
  • Fundamental knowledge of computing architectures and relevant hands-on hardware/software debug experience
  • Experience with Linux command line operation.
  • Solid system-level debugging experience & familiarity with board bring-up and customer support.
  • Good attention to detail, as well as clear written and verbal communications.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
  • Experience with BMC, server management processors.
  • Proven basic networking knowledge and server maintenance.
  • Competence to perform simple solder reworks.
  • Experience with lab test equipment setups for signal measurement using oscilloscopes and understanding to follow a schematic.
  • Experience with x86/ARM architectures and accelerated GPU computing.
