Hardware & Supply Chain

Lyceum’s infrastructure runs on lots of GPUs deployed across various data centres. As Hardware & Supply Chain Manager, you own the full lifecycle: sourcing, procurement, vendor management, logistics, and deployment of GPU infrastructure. You’ll negotiate directly with OEMs, data centre operators, and hardware vendors to secure the best price-performance for next-gen hardware. This role is critical to Lyceum’s cost structure and competitive positioning.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end procurement of GPU servers, networking equipment, and data centre capacity across European locations

• Build and maintain relationships with key suppliers: NVIDIA, OEMs (Supermicro, Dell, Lenovo), data centre operators, and channel partners

• Negotiate pricing, lead times, warranties, and SLAs for multi-million euro hardware purchases

• Manage supply chain logistics: ordering, customs, delivery coordination, rack-and-stack, and commissioning

• Develop and maintain a hardware procurement roadmap aligned with Lyceum’s capacity planning and customer demand

• Conduct due diligence on secondary-market GPU inventory and evaluate build-vs-buy-vs-lease decisions

• Track market pricing, availability trends, and upcoming hardware releases to inform strategic purchasing decisions

What We’re Looking For

• 2-4 years in hardware procurement, supply chain management, or technical sourcing - ideally in data centres, cloud, HPC, or semiconductor sectors

• Demonstrated track record negotiating high-value hardware or infrastructure contracts

• Strong understanding of GPU server architectures, networking (InfiniBand, RoCE), and data centre power/cooling requirements

• Comfortable working across time zones with global suppliers and managing complex logistics

• Highly detail-oriented with strong project management skills

• Fluent in English; German is a plus

• Outstanding team: Work with some of the best engineers in the world, coming from hedge funds, big tech, AI startups and top universities.
• Once in a lifetime opportunity: Early-stage company in the fastest-growing market in the world
• Ownership: Shape how European AI companies access GPU compute
• European mission: Build sovereign, GDPR-compliant AI infrastructure for the next generation of deep-tech
