About the role

Lead the AI Factory Build Enablement function by defining readiness standards, verifying OEM capabilities, and building mitigation plans. Build and manage a team of Solutions Architects focused on OEM readiness for AI Factory build-outs, coordinating across NVIDIA teams to create standardized operating models for readiness and handover.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the AI Factory Build Enablement pillar, including OEM readiness criteria, partner capability verification, and pre-engagement gatekeeping before services handover.
  • Build and manage a team of Solutions Architects who assess OEM tools, experience, deployment readiness, and mitigation needs for AI Factory build-outs.
  • Plan, prioritize, and advise technical teams supporting readiness, NPI, integration, and end-to-end AI infrastructure build preparation.
  • Own the development and adoption of standardized OEM readiness checklists, capability assessments, risk scoring, and engagement health monitoring.
  • Establish clear criteria for OEM-to-services handover and drive formal sign-off processes that reduce downstream deployment, test, and bring-up issues.
  • Orchestrate cross-functional workstreams that align architecture, engineering, services, field, program, account, and partner-facing teams around readiness milestones and execution risks.
  • Partner with NVIDIA services, engineering, FAE, program, account, and tool-development teams to identify recurring readiness gaps and drive them into structured corrective actions.
  • Create leadership visibility into readiness risk, open mitigation plans, engagement health, and critical blockers affecting AI Factory build execution.

Qualifications

  • BS, MS, or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
  • 8+ overall years of experience in infrastructure architecture, data center deployment, AI/HPC systems, partner enablement, technical field engagement, or large-scale systems integration.
  • 4+ years of experience leading a team.
  • Prior people leadership experience, including hiring, coaching, developing, and directing technical ICs.
  • Strong understanding of data center infrastructure, including compute, networking, storage, cabling, power, cooling, firmware/BMC, Linux, and deployment workflows.
  • Experience translating complex technical requirements into readiness criteria, partner checklists, acceptance gates, or operating processes.
  • Ability to assess partner capability, identify execution gaps, and drive mitigation plans before issues reach deployment or handover.
  • Strong cross-functional leadership across architecture, engineering, program, field, account, and partner-facing organizations.
  • Demonstrated ability to coordinate multiple concurrent technical workstreams, set goals, track progress, and drive timely execution across complex partner engagements.
  • Executive-ready communication skills, including the ability to summarize risk, readiness, tradeoffs, and decision asks for senior leaders.
