Role - HW Fleet Ops Engineer
As a Hardware Fleet Operations Engineer, you will own the operation, reliability, and lifecycle management of large-scale lab and test infrastructure fleets (arrays, servers, switches, and supporting hardware). A key part of this role is to design and build Python-based automation to rehab, reconfigure, and return hardware to service automatically, reducing manual toil and improving testbed availability.
You will collaborate with development, Dev Ops, SRE, and release teams to ensure that hardware fleets are always ready to run CI/CD pipelines and validation workloads, and that incidents are detected, triaged, and auto-remediated wherever possible. You will be on call to get alert if the Fleet goes below the threshold limit.
Responsibilities • Operate and own large hardware test fleets (Flash Array, Flash Blade, servers, switches, PDUs, etc.) across global labs.
• Design and implement Python automation to:
● Detect unhealthy hardware and testbeds.
● Run standardized rehab workflows (power cycle, re-cable checks, firmware checks, OS/image re-provisioning,



config reset, etc.).
● Safely return capacity to the shared pool with minimal human intervention. • Build and maintain tooling and services that integrate fleet state with:
● CI/CD systems (e.g., Jenkins).
● Knowledge on jenkins groovy pipeline implementation
● Experience with tools like ansible / dominator for handling the o/s & patch roll-out
● Scheduling and reservation systems.
● Monitoring/observability platforms.
• Develop and maintain runbooks and automation APIs for common operational tasks (bring-up, decommission, reprovisioning, network reconfig, rack/slot moves).
• Implement and improve health checks and SLOs for hardware fleets (availability, utilization, rehab throughput, mean time to rehab).
• Analyze incident trends (SEVs, repeated failures, noisy devices) and drive continuous improvements in automation, process, and hardware standards.
• Collaborate with SRE, Dev Ops, and
