TL;DR · Solutions Architect, LLM Model Builder

As a Solutions Architect, LLM Model Builder, you will join the Partner Solutions Architecture team to serve as a technical advisor for partners building reasoning, multimodal, and production inference solutions. You will guide partners through the full lifecycle of foundation model deployment, including fine-tuning, distillation, quantization, compression, and benchmarking. Your daily work involves defining evaluation workflows, designing compute plans involving GPU and network selection, and developing reference architectures and TCO calculators. You will utilize a technical stack including Python, PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow, NeMo, Nemotron, Dynamo, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, and vLLM. The role focuses on solving complex infrastructure challenges by translating customer requirements into optimized production-ready systems while navigating trade-offs in latency, throughput, and cluster sizing across the full-stack accelerated computing platform to accelerate time to value for various partner workloads.

What you'll do

  • Serve as the lead technical advisor for partners delivering reasoning, multimodal, and model-serving solutions.
  • Guide partners through fine-tuning, distillation, quantization, compression, and evaluation workflows.
  • Define benchmark plans, synthetic data generation, and repeatable validation recipes for foundation models.
  • Advise on compute planning including cluster sizing, GPU/network selection, and memory tradeoffs.
  • Design inference architectures focusing on prefill/decode tradeoffs, batching, routing, and serving efficiency.
  • Develop reference architectures, playbooks, TCO calculators, and sizing models using NVIDIA's software stack.
  • Translate complex model and infrastructure topics for both technical teams and executive stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, ML Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of relevant experience working with LLMs, VLMs, and large-scale inference systems.
  • Hands-on expertise in fine-tuning, benchmarking, evaluation, optimization, and production deployment as a Research Engineer or Deep Learning Engineer.
  • Strong understanding of foundation models across data preparation, post-training, and inference.
  • Familiarity with reasoning models, reinforcement learning, and synthetic data generation workflows.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and hands-on experience with PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.
  • Familiarity with Nemotron, NeMo, Dynamo, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, vLLM, and similar inference/optimization stacks.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills to advise both technical teams and executives.
