About the Role
You will define the hardware architecture for AI accelerator systems across server, rack, and datacenter deployments. You will translate compute, memory, and fabric requirements into hardware specifications, define host and networking integration, establish RAS requirements, and drive architecture practices for scalable platforms.
Requirements
- 5+ years of system or hardware architecture experience at server or rack scale in datacenter environments
- Knowledge of scale-up and scale-out system design, distributed workload mapping, functional partitioning, and fabric architecture
- Hands-on understanding of PCIe, CXL, Ethernet, UALink, optical, and switched-fabric interconnects
- Familiarity with RAS principles, redundancy architecture, and BMC/IPMI/Redfish interfaces
- Ability to connect workload characteristics to hardware architecture and quantify performance impacts
- Leadership and cross-functional collaboration skills
- Problem-solving skills
Responsibilities
- Define hardware architecture across server boards, rack integration, and datacenter deployment
- Translate compute, memory, and interconnect requirements into hardware specifications
- Specify physical interconnect and fabric infrastructure requirements and trade-offs
- Define host, storage, networking, and power-budgeting architecture
- Ensure scale-up and scale-out designs meet performance targets
- Define RAS, redundancy, hot-swap, telemetry, management, and fault-containment requirements
- Align architectural decisions with partners and internal stakeholders
- Drive datacenter system architecture methodology and best practices
Benefits
- Pension plan
- Employee insurances
- Company shares
