The Electrical & Systems Technician will be responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing electrical systems that support high-performance computing (HPC) environments with advanced liquid-to-chip cooling technology. This role requires expertise in electrical distribution systems, backup power infrastructure, and the integration of cooling technologies unique to HPC facilities. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, safety-driven, and experienced in maintaining mission-critical environments.

We have grown substantially since 2019, from our inception in Australia to now having several facilities across North America and being listed on NASDAQ… and we are just getting started! By joining us, you will be contributing to the future of sustainable high-performance compute and the local communities we strive to have a positive impact on.
