About the Job

Requirements

At least 5 years of experience building and improving hardware products, with a mechanical or electrical engineering background.
Strong experience partnering with original equipment manufacturer, original design manufacturer, and joint design manufacturer partners across design, build, and delivery.
Solid understanding of production rack environments spanning networking and compute hardware, power delivery, and cooling behavior, including applying thermodynamics in a datacenter context and representing engineering positions in supplier design reviews.
Working knowledge of Open Compute and rack standards tied to heat rejection and voltage delivery.
Familiarity with PCIe, Redfish, and OpenBMC.
Hands-on Linux, specifically Red Hat, server experience, along with Python or strong Bash scripting skills.
Hands-on experience with the Llama API.
Experience owning bills of materials and serving as a day-to-day interface with hardware suppliers while aligning cross-functional stakeholders to drive decisions and execution.
Experience using enterprise-authorized artificial intelligence tools to support infrastructure engineering workflows, with disciplined validation practices and strong awareness of data sensitivity.
Proven ability to review artificial-intelligence-assisted outputs before implementation, escalate uncertainty appropriately, and ensure outcomes meet resiliency, security, and auditability expectations.

Responsibilities

Partner with lines of business to capture requirements and translate them into end-to-end system designs.
Drive continuous improvement by redesigning or replacing components that fall short of performance, reliability, or cost targets.
Plan and execute the retirement of legacy platforms.
Apply working knowledge of board, server, and rack architectures with a strong understanding of datacenter integration.
Support the full lifecycle from prototype builds and lab validation through production release.
Own day-to-day engagement with original equipment manufacturer, original design manufacturer, and joint design manufacturer partners, ensuring technical alignment and proactive escalation management.
Define milestones, acceptance criteria, and delivery expectations, and hold suppliers accountable for schedule, quality, and delivery commitments across the board and server development lifecycle.
Act as the technical bridge between requirements and shipped solutions across hardware and software stakeholders.
Communicate at the hardware layer, including PCIe topology and airflow and liquid-cooling dynamics, and connect design decisions and tradeoffs to network, operating system, and application requirements.
Use enterprise-authorized artificial intelligence capabilities within the work environment to accelerate infrastructure analysis and design documentation, validating outputs and handling operational data according to sensitivity and security requirements.
Apply reuse-first, artificial-intelligence-assisted practices within delivery and automation routines to identify recurring issues and validate remediation options, ensuring changes are traceable, auditable, and aligned to resiliency and security expectations.

Desired Qualifications

Good knowledge of hardware specifications.
Experience with cloud on top of physical servers.
Experience building automation and certifying servers for internal cloud.

Assume a vital position as a key member of a high-performing team that delivers infrastructure and performance excellence. Your role will be instrumental in shaping the future at one of the world's largest and most influential companies.

As a Lead Infrastructure Engineer at JPMorganChase within the Infrastructure Platforms, you apply deep knowledge of software, applications, and technical processes within the infrastructure engineering discipline. Continue to evolve your technical and cross-functional knowledge outside of your aligned domain of expertise.

JPMorganChase is seeking a Hardware Engineer for end to-end design of hardware platforms supporting our internal cloud and PSI environments. This role blends deep mechanical engineering fundamentals with strong program execution and vendor partnership. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable modeling and testing as they are coordinating cross-functional stakeholders, managing schedules and risk, and chassis integration details. If you enjoy turning complex, multi-constraint problems into practical, high-quality hardware designs, this role is for you.
