About the role

Moving beyond individual hardware components, this role acts as the unifying technical authority across hardware, software, compute, network, and storage.
You will be responsible for architecting a cohesive, AI rack scale platform optimized for
trillion-parameter LLM training and high-throughput inference.

Work closely with software, firmware, and OS engineering to influence platform design, ensuring the software stack fully exploits underlying hardware capabilities, including complex ARM mesh interconnects (RNI, HNF, SNF) and advanced merchant silicon features.
We are seeking for a visionary AI Platform Architect to design and oversee the comprehensive infrastructure stack that powers our most demanding distributed AI workloads.

Deep practical knowledge of how large models are trained and deployed, including data/tensor/pipeline parallelism and the infrastructure requirements of modern LLM architectures.
Experience with container orchestration platforms and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tailored for GPU-heavy bare-metal and cloud environments.
Exceptional ability to bridge the gap between AI researchers/data scientists and low-level hardware/CPU/memory/storage/GPU/network engineers, translating model requirements into strict infrastructure specifications.
This will require a deep knowledge of the AI industry and significant market competitive analysis including TCO (OPEX / CAPEX) analysis of new technologies.
Distributed AI Frameworks: Deep practical knowledge of how large models are trained and deployed, including data/tensor/pipeline parallelism and the infrastructure requirements of modern LLM architectures.
Orchestration & Containerization: Experience with container orchestration platforms and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tailored for GPU-heavy bare-metal and cloud environments.
Rack scale GPU AI Platforms experience: Hands on experience with rack-as-a-system
Software / Scripting experience: Working knowledge of scripting language such as Python/JSON to characterize workloads on bare metal AI compute systems to expose issues with current Neural engine silicon solutions.

AI platforms that integrate all the latest networking, cooling, and GPU technologies currently present in the market.
