INTRODUCTION
NVIDIA's invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern deep learning - the next era of computing - with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, we are increasingly known as "the AI computing company." We're looking to grow our company and establish teams with the most thoughtful people in the world. We are looking for an excellent Senior Engineering Manager to lead a large firmware engineering organization delivering end-to-end manageability firmware for NVIDIA's next generation Data Center Compute Systems. This role owns HGX product line and OpenBMC-based management firmware and MCU firmware components in data center platforms, including architecture, execution, quality, reliability, telemetry, and customer readiness. We are seeking an experienced senior leader with strong technical depth, broad system perspective, and a proven ability to lead large teams through complex product cycles. This role is onsite in Santa Clara, CA, USA. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in data center jobs.
- Experience with physical server installation, racking, and cabling in a live data center environment
- Familiarity with DCIM platforms and environmental monitoring tools for temperature and power tracking
- Understanding of power systems including UPS, PDUs, and generator failover procedures
- Relevant certifications such as CompTIA Server+, CDCP, or a vendor-specific networking credential
- Ability to lift and move heavy equipment and work in confined spaces or raised-floor environments
- Associate or bachelor's degree in information technology, computer science, or a related technical field
Tips for Your Data Center Job Search
Tailor your resume to infrastructure specifics
List the exact hardware vendors you've worked with, such as Dell, HPE, or Cisco, and note your experience with specific rack densities, power distribution units, or DCIM software. Generic IT resumes get filtered out fast in data center hiring.
Certify before you apply to tier-one roles
Many data center postings screen for CompTIA Server+, CDCP, or vendor-specific credentials like Cisco's CCNA Data Center before a recruiter reads further. Get the cert that aligns with your target role type, whether that's networking, facilities, or systems.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists data center openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by shift and on-call requirements
Data center operations run around the clock, so many roles require rotating shifts, weekend coverage, or on-call duties. Confirm the schedule expectations before applying so you're only pursuing positions that genuinely work for your situation.
Prepare for hands-on technical assessments
Interviews for data center technician and engineer roles frequently include a practical component where you troubleshoot a simulated hardware failure or trace a network path on a diagram. Practice cable management scenarios and server swap procedures so you're not caught off guard.
Negotiate shift differentials and on-call pay separately
Base pay is only part of total compensation in data center roles. Night shift differentials, weekend premiums, and on-call stipends are often negotiable line items that don't show up in the initial offer. Ask about each one explicitly before you sign.
Data Center Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most data center jobs?
The companies hiring the most data centers right now include Amazon, Oracle, and Vantage Data Centers, with the largest share of openings in Texas, California, and Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Hyperscale cloud providers and large colocation operators consistently post the highest volume of roles nationwide.
How many data center jobs are remote?
About 20% of data center openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, since most roles require physical access to hardware, cooling systems, and network infrastructure. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements are data center operations management, project management, and sales engineering roles that don't require hands-on floor work.
How do you become a data center technician?
Start by building a foundation in hardware, networking, and operating systems through an associate degree, a technical bootcamp, or self-study with platforms focused on IT fundamentals. Earn an entry-level certification such as CompTIA IT Fundamentals or CompTIA Server+ to validate your skills. Then pursue a junior technician or NOC analyst role that offers on-the-floor experience with real infrastructure before advancing to senior or specialist positions.
Can you get a data center job with no experience?
Yes, entry-level data center technician roles exist specifically for candidates without prior professional experience, though employers will expect hands-on comfort with hardware. Build that comfort by assembling and troubleshooting your own systems, completing a structured IT program, and earning a foundational certification. Highlight any experience with structured cabling, hardware repair, or home lab setups on your resume to show practical aptitude.
What does the data center interview process look like?
A typical data center interview starts with a phone screen focused on your technical background and shift availability. That's followed by one or two technical interviews covering networking concepts, power and cooling fundamentals, and hardware troubleshooting scenarios. Many employers then include a practical or on-site assessment where you demonstrate cable management, server handling, or ticket resolution under realistic conditions before a final offer conversation.
Where can I find and apply to data center jobs?
You can find and apply to data center jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the available roles by location, seniority level, or specialization, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background and schedule requirements.
