About the job
About Our Team
At OpenAI, we are forging a global network of cutting-edge datacenters in collaboration with our technology and capital partners to meet the challenges of the most demanding AI workloads. The Industrial Compute team is dedicated to designing, manufacturing, and deploying datacenter infrastructure systems that prioritize reliability, scalability, and performance.
Our team collaborates with engineering departments, manufacturing partners, construction teams, and datacenter operations to ensure that our rack systems are efficiently built, validated, and deployed across our rapidly expanding global infrastructure.
Our responsibilities encompass product definition, design validation, manufacturing readiness, and field deployment — all aimed at ensuring that our rack infrastructure meets the performance, reliability, and operational requirements of OpenAI's compute platforms.
About This Role
We are on the lookout for a skilled Rack Product Engineer to spearhead the technical development, manufacturing readiness, and lifecycle performance of rack infrastructure utilized across OpenAI's datacenters. You will serve as the engineering subject matter expert, overseeing aspects of management, testing, quality assurance, and manufacturing engineering to scale operations and maintain on-time delivery.
This position operates at the intersection of hardware design, manufacturing, supplier engagement, and datacenter deployment. You will collaborate closely with compute, mechanical, power, and networking teams to define rack architectures that are manufacturable, scalable, and operationally reliable.
Your role will involve partnering with contract manufacturers and suppliers to ensure that rack systems are built to specifications while also driving internal design improvements, resolving field issues, and supporting rapid deployment of infrastructure on a global scale.
Travel Requirements
This position may require domestic and international travel as needed, estimated at 30%, to manufacturing sites, supplier facilities, and datacenter deployments.
