  • BS/MS/PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or another engineering field or equivalent experience.
  • Experience in Systems, Solutions, Field Engineering, Network, or Data Center Engineering roles.
  • 2+ years of experience leading or mentoring engineers or architects as a manager or technical lead.
  • System-level expertise in CPU/GPU server architecture, NICs, Linux, system software, and kernel drivers.
  • Experience with data center networking including Ethernet and InfiniBand switches, fabrics, and associated tooling.
  • Familiarity with data center infrastructure such as power, cooling, and deployment constraints.
  • Proven ability to lead technical teams, set priorities, and manage projects from design through production.
  • Excellent communication skills for leading customer meetings and producing technical documentation.
  • Experience with recruiting and managing geographically distributed technical teams (preferred).
  • Track record of bringing up and deploying large clusters or supercomputing environments (preferred).
  • Background in external customer-facing roles such as field engineering or pre/post-sales architecture (preferred).
  • Coding and debugging skills including C/C++, Linux kernel, and drivers (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience with NVIDIA GPU systems, SDKs, networking technologies, or ARM-based CPU solutions (preferred).
