Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is recruiting data center engineers in Inner Mongolia, signaling expansion of its operations amid reports the company is using Nvidia's banned Blackwell chips.

DeepSeek has posted two open positions for data center engineers at its Inner Mongolia facility. The job listings come as the AI startup navigates U.S. export restrictions on advanced semiconductor technology. Reports indicate DeepSeek is utilizing Nvidia's Blackwell chips despite American export controls designed to limit China's access to cutting-edge AI hardware. The startup has gained attention for developing competitive AI models while operating under these constraints. Inner Mongolia has become a hub for Chinese data center operations due to lower energy costs and cooling advantages. The hiring suggests DeepSeek is scaling infrastructure to support its AI development and deployment efforts. The moves underscore intensifying competition in China's AI sector and ongoing tensions over semiconductor access between the U.S. and Chinese technology companies.
