About the role

Role focused on systems-level GPU cluster architecture and technical leadership to design end-to-end data center solutions (compute, networking, storage, power, cooling, and layout) for AI GPU workloads, with strong customer-facing responsibilities and collaboration across AMD and partner teams.

Responsibilities

  • Lead customer engagements to define AI GPU cluster architecture and develop complete Basis of Design (BoD) documents.
  • Architect end‑to‑end data center solutions including GPU platforms, high‑speed networking, storage, power distribution, cooling, and floor layout.
  • Translate AI workload requirements (training, inference, mixed workloads) into scalable, reliable infrastructure designs optimized for AMD platforms.
  • Partner with customers, OEMs/ODMs, and AMD internal teams to align on technical decisions and tradeoffs.
  • Perform architecture reviews, gap analysis, and risk assessments to ensure designs are deployable and operationally sound.
  • Provide guidance on best practices for power redundancy, cooling strategies, network topology, and cluster scalability.
  • Support pre‑sales, solution reviews, and executive‑level technical discussions as needed.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field required
  • Experience designing large‑scale GPU or HPC clusters for AI workloads
  • Understanding of data center architecture including high‑speed Ethernet networking, distributed and parallel storage systems, power distribution, redundancy, and capacity planning, air and liquid cooling solutions, physical layout and rack‑level design
  • Experience producing or reviewing Basis of Design, reference architectures, or similar engineering documentation
  • Customer‑facing technical experience with the ability to clearly communicate complex tradeoffs
  • Strong systems mindset connecting compute, network, storage, and facilities constraints
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • High ownership, attention to detail, and ability to operate independently across ambiguous problem spaces
