Title: Hardware / Lab Technician (standard 8am-5pm)
Location: Santa Clara, CA
Duration: 1 year
About the Role
We are now looking for an Engineering Lab Technician (Contract) in the Datacenter Systems & Board Design Team to support testing and debug of NVIDIA's datacenter products. This role will collaborate with an innovative multidisciplinary world-class team of engineers to help build and develop our industry leading GPU accelerated computing products. This role will maintain and debug lab systems involving sophisticated system level hardware and software. System level performance testing is accomplished using industry leading Deep Learning/AI applications. In this role you will gain a deep understanding of datacenter products as we take on the challenge to solve complex technical issues, so there will be plenty of opportunity for learning new skills related to datacenter products and infrastructure. The primary responsibility is to support our engineering teams during development to ensure outstanding quality GPU server products may be released to the market and delight our customers so that AI scientists and datacenter operators can achieve their professional aspirations using NVIDIA technology. The role will work independently to complete daily tasks according to priorities, demonstrate a passion towards system level product quality, and should be comfortable in an engineering lab environment. We are looking for someone who can support day to day operations while staying close to the hardware. The best fit is comfortable working with prototype systems, RF testing equipment, and hands-on operational work.
Technical Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in an engineering lab, data center, hardware validation lab, wireless testing lab, or similar technical environment.
- Hands-on familiarity with enterprise server hardware, PC components, networking gear, power equipment, lab fixtures, and prototype hardware.
- Experience assembling, configuring, troubleshooting, repairing, and deploying hardware systems.
- Strong organization skills for inventory, asset tracking, ticketing, documentation, and hardware lifecycle management.
- Understanding of lab safety, and safe handling of critical or pre-production hardware.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
- Ability to communicate clearly with engineers, vendors, operations teams, and cross-functional partners.
Ways to stand out
- Experience with Linux systems, BIOS or firmware updates, BMC/IPMI, networking, server bring-up, or hardware debug.
- Familiarity with 5G testing or lab automation.
- Experience supporting R&D teams working with silicon, boards, platforms, or pre-production systems is especially valuable.
- Scripting / Agentic experience for inventory, reporting, dashboards, or lab operations is a plus.

Mid Level Lab Technician Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level lab technician job?
Position yourself by highlighting the specific techniques and instruments you own independently, not just assisted with. Emphasize any protocols you wrote, validated, or improved, and note any informal mentorship of newer staff. Applications that show measurable contributions, such as reduced error rates or faster turnaround times, move faster than those that simply list job duties.
Which companies hire mid level lab technicians?
Companies hiring mid level lab technicians right now include NOV, Wipro, and VAM USA, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level tends to come from established employers in regulated industries who need technicians who can work independently and maintain compliance standards without heavy oversight.
Are there remote mid level lab technician jobs?
Yes, though bench-based lab work is inherently on-site, some roles in data analysis, quality documentation, and remote monitoring do allow off-site work. About 0% of mid level lab technician openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, so filtering by work setting before applying will save significant time in your search.
How do I move up to a mid level lab technician role?
Progression from entry level into mid level comes from deliberately expanding your scope over time. Focus on mastering a core set of techniques to the point where you need no guidance, then take on ownership of a full process or project. Documenting measurable outcomes, such as improved assay accuracy or reduced prep time, and showing you can train others signals readiness for mid level responsibility.
Which industries hire the most mid level lab technicians?
Mid Level lab technician roles concentrate in Education, Technology & Software, and Energy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive the most hiring at this level because they depend on experienced technicians who can maintain regulatory compliance, validate methods, and sustain throughput with minimal supervision.
