TL;DR · Director, Data Center Business Solution Architect

The Director, Data Center Business Solution Architect joins the team responsible for building and optimizing FPGA platforms for embedded and commercial applications across silicon, firmware, and software. This role serves as a critical bridge between customer architecture teams and internal engineering to shape next-generation infrastructure solutions using custom ASIC and FPGA technologies. The architect will lead technical engagement with hyperscalers, translate their use cases into scalable requirements, and influence architectures across networking acceleration, server platform control, storage virtualization, and data movement. Key technical domains include SmartNICs, DPUs, BMC, DC-SCM, PCIe, CXL, and high-speed interconnects. The role requires extensive experience in data center architecture and silicon platforms to solve complex infrastructure challenges for large-scale cloud operators while aligning customer needs with internal product roadmaps across networking, compute, and storage domains.

What you'll do

  • Lead technical engagement with hyperscalers and large data center customers to define next-generation platform architectures.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to customer architecture, silicon, and infrastructure teams across multiple functional areas.
  • Align customer requirements with internal roadmaps for custom ASIC and FPGA-based solutions.
  • Translate hyperscaler use cases into scalable product and platform requirements.
  • Define and influence architectures for networking acceleration, server management, and storage virtualization.
  • Support business development through customer presentations, executive engagements, and long-term strategic planning.
  • Influence internal roadmaps and external customer architectures to drive solution strategy and execution.

What we're looking for

  • 12+ years of experience in data center architecture, silicon platforms, or hyperscaler infrastructure.
  • Proven experience working directly with hyperscalers or large-scale cloud and data center operators.
  • Deep technical experience in custom ASIC design and/or FPGA-based solutions.
  • Solid understanding of modern data center architecture including networking, compute, storage, and system management.
  • Experience influencing or defining platform architectures for large-scale deployments.
  • Expertise in SmartNICs, DPUs, network offload architectures, server management (BMC), or storage acceleration.
  • Familiarity with PCIe, CXL, high-speed interconnects, and data center protocols.
  • Ability to engage at both deep technical levels and executive leadership levels.
