Hardware Engineer designing IP cores and building blocks for space and safety - critical systems. Working in Gothenburg with responsibilities in RTL development, verification, and hardware validation.
About the role
- Data Center Hardware Engineer ensuring hardware performance and reliability for Bumble's data center operations. Collaborating with Service Reliability and Network Engineering to support global connectivity.
Responsibilities
- Maintain and upgrade physical data center hardware — including servers, switches, and routers — ensuring consistent uptime and optimal performance.
- Diagnose and replace failing components (CPU, RAM, HDD, NIC, etc.) following vendor specifications and Bumble’s internal procedures.
- Install, configure, and decommission data center equipment according to detailed engineering plans, maintaining clear documentation and traceability.
- Manage cabling operations (copper and fiber) — connecting, organizing, and labeling network infrastructure with precision and safety.
- Collaborate with vendors on RMA (Return Material Authorization) processes, ensuring quick resolution of hardware issues.
- Maintain accurate inventories of spare parts, tools, and network devices to support efficient service continuity.
- Draft clear, step-by-step technical instructions for remote or third-party field engineers to execute safely and correctly.
- Perform emergency maintenance or urgent repairs outside standard hours when required (light 24/7 rotation).
- Apply AI-assisted diagnostic tools and predictive analytics to identify early hardware degradation and optimize maintenance cycles.
- Work cross-functionally and demonstrate an **agile mindset**, adapting to evolving data center technologies and operational demands.
Requirements
- You bring hands-on experience in maintaining data center or enterprise hardware environments — from server builds to cabling and component replacement.
- You’re comfortable performing physical work in constrained environments (lifting up to 25kg/50lbs, kneeling, crouching, running cables, or accessing server racks safely). *We will make reasonable adjustments for any candidate with a disability to ensure full access to this role.*
- You can explain technical processes clearly to non-technical colleagues and write concise, well-structured documentation.
- You collaborate naturally with SRE and Network Engineering teams, sharing insights and supporting continuous improvement.
- You’re familiar with Linux command-line environments and comfortable applying vendor firmware and BIOS upgrade procedures.
- You show initiative, work effectively with minimal supervision, and demonstrate ownership in your domain.
- You’re curious about how AI can support smarter monitoring, faster diagnosis, and safer automation in data center operations.
- You model Bumble’s **values of Respect and Excellence**, and embody our core competencies:
- Typically requires **2–5 years of experience**, though we welcome candidates with alternative backgrounds that demonstrate equivalent skills.
- A university degree, apprenticeship, or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or IT hardware is desirable but not required.
