TL;DR · Data Center Infrastructure Architect

The Data Center Infrastructure Architect joins the team to serve as a technical advisor, translating customer requirements into complete, buildable data center designs. The role involves leading customer engagements to define AI GPU cluster architecture and developing comprehensive Basis of Design documents. Key responsibilities include architecting end-to-end solutions encompassing GPU platforms, high-speed Ethernet networking, distributed and parallel storage systems, power distribution, and cooling strategies. The architect must perform gap analysis and risk assessments to ensure designs are operationally sound for training and inference workloads. Required skills include a systems mindset, cross-domain fluency in physical layout and rack-level design, and the ability to communicate complex tradeoffs. Candidates must possess a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

What you'll do

  • Lead customer engagements to define AI GPU cluster architecture and develop Basis of Design documents.
  • Architect end-to-end data center solutions including GPU platforms, networking, storage, power, and cooling.
  • Translate AI workload requirements into scalable infrastructure designs optimized for AMD platforms.
  • Partner with customers, OEMs, and internal teams to align on technical decisions and tradeoffs.
  • Perform architecture reviews, gap analysis, and risk assessments to ensure designs are deployable.
  • Provide guidance on best practices for power redundancy, cooling strategies, and network topology.
  • Support pre-sales activities and executive-level technical discussions.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Experience designing large-scale GPU or HPC clusters for AI workloads (preferred).
  • Experience producing or reviewing Basis of Design, reference architectures, or similar engineering documentation (preferred).
  • Customer-facing technical experience with the ability to clearly communicate complex tradeoffs (preferred).
  • Understanding of data center architecture including networking, storage, power, cooling, and physical layout (preferred).
  • Strong systems mindset with the ability to connect compute, network, storage, and facilities constraints (preferred).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills (preferred).
  • High ownership, attention to detail, and ability to operate independently across ambiguous problem spaces (preferred).
