About Nava

Nava is building next-generation AI infrastructure and inference platforms at global scale. We're looking for a Principal Engineer - Cluster Deployment to lead the successful deployment of large-scale GPU clusters across global data centres.

This is a high-impact execution role responsible for taking GPU clusters from hardware delivery to fully validated, production-ready infrastructure. You'll own deployment execution across sites, vendors, and cross-functional teams, ensuring every cluster is delivered on time, meets quality standards, and is ready for customer workloads.

What You'll Do

End-to-End Cluster Deployment
Own the deployment of GPU clusters from rack arrival through to tenant-ready production capacity.
Plan, coordinate, and execute deployment activities across multiple global data centre locations.
Drive installation, rack integration, power-up, hardware bring-up, firmware validation, and production readiness.
Ensure deployments are completed safely, efficiently, and within agreed timelines.
Deployment Execution
Lead cluster bring-up activities,



including hardware validation, network configuration, storage integration, and platform initialization.
Oversee structured cabling, power validation, firmware upgrades, BIOS configuration, and infrastructure readiness.
Coordinate deployment activities across internal engineering teams, hardware vendors, systems integrators, and data centre partners.
Resolve deployment blockers and drive rapid issue resolution during implementation.
Validation & Quality Assurance
Develop and execute deployment validation procedures and acceptance criteria.
Lead burn-in testing, stress testing, hardware diagnostics, and production readiness validation.
Ensure clusters meet defined performance, stability, and reliability benchmarks before customer handover.
Own first-pass acceptance and minimize deployment rework through robust quality processes.
Vendor & Site Management
Act as the primary technical lead during on-sit
