Senior Hardware Systems Architect, LPU

What you'll do

• Lead pathfinding for system and rack architecture for new GPU and LPU platforms.
• Define requirements for power, cooling, mechanics, SI/PI budgets, connectivity, management, and reliability.
• Tailor system-level solutions to improve performance, efficiency, and scalability for LPU-based workloads.
• Drive SI/PI, power, and thermal feasibility through modeling, simulation, and experiments.
• De-risk new architectures using targeted prototypes and experimental data.
• Document clear specifications, interfaces, and guidelines to enable rapid execution by other teams.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams to converge on practical hardware architectures and execution plans.

What we're looking for

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• MS or PhD degree (preferred).
• 8+ years of experience in server, storage, networking, or rack-level hardware.
• Several years of experience in system or platform architecture and pathfinding.
• Experience with mechanical aspects of data center hardware including cooling, cabling, and serviceability.
• Strong background in electrical architecture, power distribution networks (PDN), and high-speed interfaces/SI-PI fundamentals.
• Solid understanding of data center infrastructure including network fabrics, power distribution, and safety regulations.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional decisions and deliver architectures under ambiguity.
• Experience designing GPU or high-power AI systems with multi-GPU nodes (preferred).
• Experience defining rack-level networking architectures like leaf/spine fabrics (preferred).
• Experience owning end-to-end SI/PI for complex platforms (preferred).
• Experience leading platform bring-up and validation at scale (preferred).
• Experience as a technical leader mentoring engineers or contributing to patents and publications (preferred).
