Additionally, you will collaborate with Infrastructure Engineers and Architects, install/configure and maintain Windows, Linux, and MAC platforms, and be responsible for inventory and asset management. We expect things to break in the lab, as the Platform is extremely complex, the software developed is mostly low-level device drivers, and BUGS do break boards/GPUs.
