Upscale is building the engineering team that drives product improvements though hands-on field engineering. The Forward-Deployed Engineer (FDE) owns complex fabric and system issues end-to-end: from first report through root-cause analysis, workaround delivery, and verified fix. You resolve them with the rest of the team, or you drive them to resolution across whatever boundary stands in the way.

\nLarge AI infrastructure operators increasingly expect their vendor's engineering team to function as an extension of their own infrastructure organization. This role is built to meet that expectation.
\nThis is a small team. There will be an on-call component, but we are building a global team to reduce out-of-hours calls. We work with customers directly, so some travel is involved. Remote meeting tools handle much of the collaboration but building strong trust relationships will require time on site.
\nTriage and resolve complex AI fabric issues: including silent packet drops, queue anomalies, NCCL stalls, gray failures, and performance degradation in production environments. You own the problem from intake to resolution.
\nReproduce issues in the lab: building test scenarios that isolate L2 and L3 problems (packet loss, latency, retransmits, ECMP behavior, PFC/ECN interactions) and deliver reproducible cases to the development team when code fixes are needed.
\nAct as the escalation buffer for engineering: resolving issues without engaging development when possible, and packaging clean, reproducible problem statements when development engagement is required.
\nTrain and improve the on-box and off-box AI agents: contributing field-validated detection signatures, classification logic, and resolution recommendations based on real cases. Your field experience directly shapes what the agent can identify and handle autonomously.
\nValidate AI agent accuracy: reviewing the agent's data collection, anomaly detection, and triage classifications against real-world outcomes. You determine when the agent is ready to advance from data collection to active triage to mitigation
\nWork with customers directly: understanding their fabric topology, workload patterns, and operational constraints. Communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
\nContribute to the product: identifying supportability gaps, proposing diagnostic improvements, and feeding field insights into the product management process. You are an active voice in what the product needs to become.
\nMaintain and evolve the AI agent's detection capabilities: update detection signatures, retrain classification models, and tune thresholds as customer fabrics scale, new hardware is deployed, and new failure modes are discovered in the field. The AI agent is an evolving system, not a shipped product.
\nRead and work with source code: engaging with developers at the code level when needed to understand behavior, identify root causes, or validate fixes. You do not need to be a full-time developer, but you must be comfortable in the codebase.
\n
Requirements
5+ years of hands-on experience with high speed data center switching platforms at scale. Experience with AI fabric deployments is a strong plus but not required if switching and troubleshooting background depth is there.
\nPeople who take ownership. The FDE role requires someone who treats every problem as theirs until it's resolved, regardless of where the root cause sits. If the issue crosses into ASIC behavior, NOS code, optics firmware, or customer configuration, you follow it there. Pointing to another team is not a resolution.
\nDeep Ethernet troubleshooting experience, including L2/L3 forwarding, ECMP, and packet-level analysis
\nBGP operations experience, including route reflectors, convergence behavior, and fabric-scale deployments
\nQoS configuration and troubleshooting: PFC, ECN, DSCP, queue management
\nHardware support background: ASICs, FPGAs, chassis-based platforms, pluggable optic modules
\nFiber and optical link troubleshooting, including DOM telemetry interpretation
\nSoftware support history: working with NOS, firmware, and driver-level issues
\nLinux proficiency (command line, system administration, log analysis)
\nTelemetry and monitoring: experience with streaming telemetry, counters, and event-driven diagnostics
\nExperience contributing to or training ML/AI systems (classification models, labeled data, feedback loops)
\nLab skills: ability to design, build, and execute complex test scenarios that isolate specific failure modes
\nClear written and verbal communication, including customer-facing interaction
\nNice to have
\nExperience with SONiC or other open network operating systems
\nFamiliarity with AI data center designs: low-latency fabrics, GPU cluster networking, NCCL, RDMA/RoCEv2
\nExperience with NVIDIA Spectrum switch family, BlueField SuperNICs, or ConnectX adapters
\nUnderstanding of Ultra Ethernet Consortium specifications and goals
\nPCIe architecture knowledge (relevant to NIC and accelerator integration)
\nExperience with Ixia/Keysight or similar network test equipment and test suites
\nExposure to high-frequency telemetry (HFT) or WJH (What Just Happened) event data
\nWhat This Role Is Not
\nThis is not a traditional TAC or support queue role. You will not be working from runbooks or following scripts. Many of the problems you encounter will not have documented solutions. You will be expected to figure it out, document it, and make sure the next engineer (or the agent) can handle it, next time, without you.
\nThis is also not a development role. You will read code and work closely with developers, but your primary output is resolved customer issues, validated agent training data, and product improvement recommendations, not shipped features.

\nRole Summary
\nOwn the engineering lab ecosystem end-to-end racks, switches, and software labs - at UpscaleAI, a fast-moving AI hardware and infrastructure company. This is a hands-on role first and foremost. You're the person engineers and lab owners rely on to keep labs running, equipment tracked, networking connected, and projects on schedule, while also planning ahead and building the processes that let the operation scale as headcount and hardware volume grow quickly.
\nLab operations and infrastructure (hands-on): personally manage day-to-day operations across software and hardware labs, including receiving, commissioning, and physically deploying equipment (servers, racks, switches); maintain equipment health and maintenance schedules; get hands-on with troubleshooting and physical setup rather than delegating it away.
\nLab owner partnership, planning, and forecasting: work directly with lab owners and engineering stakeholders to understand upcoming project needs; plan and forecast lab capacity, equipment, space, and infrastructure requirements ahead of engineering roadmaps so labs are never a bottleneck; translate stakeholder requests into concrete lab plans and timelines.
\nNetworking and systems: install, configure, and maintain physical and virtual servers, switches, and lab network infrastructure with your own hands; working knowledge of L2/L3 networking, TCP/IP, DNS/DHCP, firewalls, and cabling; troubleshoot connectivity and infrastructure issues directly as part of the IT organization, coordinating with broader IT systems and teams as needed.
\nInventory and asset management: build and maintain tracking systems (dashboards, asset databases) for racks, switches, equipment, fixtures, and spares; conduct periodic physical audits yourself; manage vendor relationships and procurement workflows.
\nProject and request management: triage and prioritize incoming engineering requests; maintain real-time status tracking and report to engineering and leadership stakeholders; coordinate cross-functionally with hardware, firmware, and validation teams to keep projects moving; drive process improvements as the team and lab footprint scale.
\n10 – 12 years of hands-on experience in lab operations, hardware/test infrastructure, systems administration, or data center/networking operations, ideally in a hardware, networking, or semiconductor company.
\nBachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent hands-on experience.
\nDemonstrated hands-on experience with servers, racks, switches, and lab equipment - this is not a desk-only management role.
\nPhysically able to rack and stack hardware, move and lift equipment, and travel to or work on-site at colocation/data center facilities as required - physical hardware handling is a core, required part of this job.
\nNetworking fundamentals (switches, cabling, protocols) with the ability to own connectivity and systems issues independently as part of the IT organization.
\nProven track record working directly with lab owners and stakeholders to plan and forecast lab needs.
\nProven inventory/asset management experience, including building tracking systems and running physical audits yourself.
\nStrong project organization skills, including managing competing priorities and requests across engineering teams.
\nExperience with lab or equipment procurement and vendor management.
\nExcellent cross-functional communication - this role sits within IT, bridging engineering, facilities, and lab owners, and requires being both a planner and a doer.
\nPreferred Qualifications
\nExperience in a networking, server, or infrastructure company.
\nScripting/automation skills.
\nPrior experience in a similar role managing labs environment is a plus
