Solutions Architect, Infrastructure Deployment - NVIS (Finance)

NVIDIA is seeking a Solutions Architect in Infrastructure Deployment to join its Infrastructure Specialists team. Academic and commercial groups worldwide are using NVIDIA products to redefine deep learning, data analytics, and power data centers. Join the team building many of the world's largest and fastest data centers and supercomputers! NVIDIA is looking for someone who can lead planning and deployments of AI data centers including power/cooling systems, cabling and network provisioning and bring-up/validation.

As the Solutions Architect, you will focus on planning AI cluster deployments ensuring the integrity of NVIDIA platform infrastructure. Your primary goal will be to guarantee that all aspects of the data center's physical infrastructure and connectivity are meticulously planned, implemented, and validated to meet NVIDIA product architecture, operational requirements, and industry standards. This infrastructure includes architectural systems, power distribution, liquid/air cooling systems, compute, network and cabling/connectivity (fiber and copper), telemetry etc.

What you will be doing:

• NVIS Deployment planning: Collaborate with other teams to plan and implement compute solutions based on NVIDIA reference architectures, including cluster rack layout, power distribution, cooling systems, BOM planning for compute, network and storage systems, point-to-point connectivity design etc
• Network Topology: Understand the key components of the cluster, especially compute, network and storage hardware and carefully plan connectivity/cabling design based on the chosen architecture.
• Hardware requirements: Analyze the hardware involved including port mapping, power/cooling requirements, connectivity requirements and ensure correct hardware is ordered to support deployment.
• Point-to-point design: Design the point-to-point mapping, cable lengths, BOM for fiber optic and other cabling, to be the basis for physical installation.
• Domain expert: Ensure the right choices are made in architecture and provide guidance where data center design readiness poses risks to cluster operations.
• Quality Assurance: Establish and enforce quality assurance processes to verify that deployments meet established specifications and quality requirements.
• Continuous Improvement: Drive initiatives to enhance efficiency through automation, tooling and other means to increase speed and accuracy of deployment planning. Find opportunities to streamline processes, automate repetitive tasks, and leverage emerging technologies to optimize deployment planning.
• Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate and communicate across internal teams, external vendors, and customers to facilitate the seamless integration of data center infrastructure solutions. Serve as a domain expert and point of contact for infrastructure-related inquiries and issues.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3+ years of overall experience in enterprise and/or hyperscale data centers, preferably for high density AI/HPC data centers.
• Demonstrable experience in hardware engineering and/or deployments, or infrastructure planning roles, focusing on large-scale data center deployments.
• Good understanding of network topology, server/networking hardware, data center cabling and connectivity
• Relevant certification - preferred
• Demonstrated technical and project leadership under fluid situations, ability to adapt to unknowns and change.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, keen attention to detail, and a commitment to quality.
• Effective communication and social skills, with the ability to communicate effectively professionally with diverse collaborators including customers and facilitate productive discussions.
• Organization & Time Management - able to plan, schedule, and organize tasks related to the job to achieve goals within or ahead of established time frames.
• Willingness to travel (25%).

Way to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience in Linux system administration and server/network provisioning.
• Strong knowledge of whole data center Infrastructure stack
• Outstanding social skills.
