Senior R&D Lab Infrastructure & Systems Integration Engineer

ZutaCore is an Israeli deep-tech company transforming the future of AI data centers through innovative Direct-to-Chip Two-Phase Liquid Cooling technology.

As AI continues to drive unprecedented computing power, data centers face one of their biggest challenges yet: efficiently removing the enormous amounts of heat generated by next-generation processors while reducing energy consumption. Our patented cooling technology addresses this challenge by delivering highly efficient, sustainable cooling directly at the chip level.

Today, ZutaCore partners with some of the world's leading technology companies and continues to grow rapidly, with R&D and engineering based in Israel and commercial teams across the US, Europe, India and Taiwan.

About the Role

We are looking for an Alpha Lab Engineer to join our R&D Integration team and take ownership of one of the most critical development environments in the company.

Our Alpha Lab is where next-generation AI servers are assembled, configured, tested and validated before our cooling technology reaches customers. You'll be responsible for managing the lab infrastructure, bringing up new server platforms, maintaining Linux-based environments, supporting automation and debugging activities, and enabling engineering teams across Software, Integration and Testing to work efficiently.

This is a unique hands-on role that combines Linux, system integration, automation, hardware and infrastructure, making it ideal for someone who enjoys working across multiple disciplines and solving complex technical challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and maintain the Alpha Lab server environment, including multiple server racks used for R&D validation and testing.
• Install, configure and maintain Linux operating systems on new server platforms.
• Configure and manage virtual machines, Docker containers and server images for development and testing environments.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts (Python, Bash or similar) to support testing and lab operations.
• Perform system bring-up, debugging and troubleshooting across hardware and software environments.
• Assemble, configure and integrate new server platforms, including hardware installation and component replacement when required.
• Support validation activities by preparing and maintaining stable test environments.
• Monitor the health, availability and environmental conditions of the lab, including server infrastructure and equipment.
• Work closely with Software, Integration and Test Engineers to support development activities and resolve technical issues.
• Document configurations, procedures and lab best practices to ensure a reliable and scalable working environment.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• At least 5 years of relevant hands-on experience in Linux-based server infrastructure, system integration, lab operations, or a similar multidisciplinary engineering environment.
• Proven ability to independently establish, manage, and take full ownership of lab infrastructure, operating procedures, and working environments.
• Strong experience installing, configuring, and maintaining Linux operating systems, servers, and supporting infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience with server hardware installation, system bring-up, component replacement, and hardware–software integration.
• Experience with virtualization technologies, virtual machines, and Docker containers.
• Experience developing automation scripts using Python, Bash, or a similar scripting language.
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging capabilities across hardware, operating systems, networking, and software environments.
• Good understanding of networking fundamentals.
• Strong communication and documentation skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience managing or supporting R&D labs, system integration labs, or validation environments.
• Experience with AI servers, GPU-based systems, or high-performance computing platforms.
• Experience developing or supporting automated testing environments.
• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD tools, and DevOps methodologies.
