About the role

In this critical role, you will architect the foundational networks powering next-generation AI workloads, from RDU-accelerated servers to global-scale AI clusters.

Requirements

12+ years of experience designing, architecting, or productizing compute infrastructure for hyperscale, AI, HPC, cloud, or large-scale data center environments
Deep experience with AI compute platforms, including GPU/accelerator systems, high-density server architectures, rack-scale compute, and cluster-level design considerations
Strong understanding of server and rack-level architecture, including power, thermal, mechanical, serviceability, firmware, and platform integration requirements
Experience translating customer, workload, and deployment requirements into compute product requirements, platform roadmaps, technical specifications, and architecture tradeoffs
Familiarity with modern AI infrastructure components such as GPU servers, accelerator trays, NVLink/NVSwitch-class fabrics, PCIe/CXL, high-speed NICs, DPUs/IPUs, and storage-attached compute architectures
Deep working knowledge of AI cluster networking and fabric dependencies, including InfiniBand, RoCEv2, Ethernet-based AI fabrics, 400G/800G interconnects, and GPU-to-GPU east-west traffic patterns
Experience with lossless or near-lossless Ethernet designs, including QoS, priority mapping, ECN, PFC, congestion management, buffer tuning, telemetry, and failure-domain isolation
Strong understanding of spine-leaf network architectures and associated technologies such as VXLAN, EVPN, BGP, MLAG, ECMP, underlay/overlay design, multi-tenant segmentation, and network automation
Experience comparing and integrating technologies across leading switch, NIC, accelerator, optical, and fabric ecosystems, while avoiding unnecessary vendor lock-in
Familiarity with high-speed optics and cabling implications for AI clusters, including 400G/800G DR4, FR4, LR4, SR, DAC/AOC, fiber topology, link budgets, and transceiver interoperability
