THE ROLE: 

This role blends deep GPU cluster architecture expertise with customer‑facing technical leadership. It requires a systems‑level thinker who can translate customer requirements into complete, buildable data center designs—spanning compute, networking, storage, power, cooling, and physical layout.

 

THE PERSON: 

You are comfortable operating as a trusted technical advisor to customers, owning the end‑to‑end technical narrative from early solutioning through Basis of Design development, while aligning AMD internal teams, partners, and OEMs around a coherent architecture.

Success in this role requires strong judgment, cross‑domain fluency, and the ability to turn complex constraints into clear, defensible designs.

 

KEY 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.

 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• 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 with the ability to connect 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.

 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in related discipline preferred.

 

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
