Rack Systems Architect, Technical Lead

• 10+ years of experience in rack-scale compute systems, high-performance computing (HPC), AI infrastructure, hyperscale data centers, server hardware, or integrated compute platform development.
• Demonstrated ownership of rack-level system architecture, including electrical, mechanical, thermal, networking, and integration requirements.
• Experience architecting and deploying high-density rack-scale computing environments supporting large accelerator deployments, AI training infrastructure, GPU clusters, or HPC systems.
• Experience developing and managing system-level power budgets, thermal budgets, cooling requirements, rack weight constraints, interconnect architectures, and infrastructure interfaces.
• Experience owning Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and defining boundaries between rack systems, facility systems, networking infrastructure, power systems, and cooling systems.
• Strong understanding of liquid-cooled rack architecture including CDUs, direct-to-chip cooling, thermal distribution systems, facility cooling integration, and serviceability considerations.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary technical teams including Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Integration Engineering functions.
• Demonstrated experience making architecture trade-off decisions involving cost, performance, reliability, manufacturability, scalability, cooling, power density, transportability, and serviceability.
• Experience driving design reviews, technical readiness reviews, integration reviews, and engineering decision-making throughout product development lifecycles.
• Experience working directly with accelerator vendors, server vendors, ODMs, hyperscalers, or AI infrastructure providers.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical discipline.

• Experience leading NVL-class, HGX-class, GB200-class, B100/B200-class, MI300-class, or equivalent rack programs.
• Deep familiarity with NVIDIA ecosystem architecture, accelerator integration, and GPU cluster deployments.
• Experience supporting hyperscale AI infrastructure environments at organizations such as NVIDIA, Meta, Microsoft, AWS, Google, Oracle Cloud, CoreWeave, Crusoe, Lambda, xAI, Dell, HPE, Supermicro, Quanta, Wistron, Celestica, or Foxconn.
• Experience with rack-level liquid cooling systems including direct-to-chip cooling, immersion cooling, rear-door heat exchangers, facility water systems, and CDU integration.
• Strong understanding of high-speed networking architectures, InfiniBand, Ethernet, optical interconnects, copper interconnects, scale-up fabrics, and scale-out architectures.
• Experience supporting transport qualification, seismic qualification, environmental qualification, or regulatory certification activities.
• Experience developing product roadmaps and aligning infrastructure designs to future accelerator generations.
• Experience supporting manufacturing, integration, rack deployment, system validation, or product lifecycle management activities.
• Advanced degree preferred in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or Computer Engineering.

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.
• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

• Architect 150kW-class liquid-cooled racks where power, thermal, weight, and interconnect budgets all bind at once and every tradeoff shows up somewhere else.
• Define and hold the interfaces between rack and facility so power, liquid, and network can each evolve without forcing a redesign of the other side.
• Keep the rack roadmap ahead of accelerator vendor roadmaps, so the next generation of dense compute lands in facilities designed before that hardware existed.
• Run a small engineering team with the review rigor of a large one, catching design faults before they reach integration.

POSITION SUMMARY:

• Own the rack as a product for 150kW-class liquid-cooled deployments: architecture, power budget, cooling, interconnect topology, structure, and serviceability, with tradeoffs made explicitly and defended on the record.
• Write and hold the interface control documents between rack and facility, precise enough that power, liquid, and network teams can each move independently without breaking the boundary.
• Lead the rack EE, ME, thermal, and integration engineers, owning the architecture they execute and the technical calls that unblock them.
• Run design reviews where a 7-person team catches what a 70-person team would, so faults die in review rather than in the field.
• Align the rack roadmap with accelerator vendors and the company's facility architecture, so each rack generation lands in a facility built to receive it.

• 10+ years in system architecture of rack-scale compute at a hyperscaler, NVIDIA-ecosystem ODM, or AI systems company.
• You've owned a rack as a product end to end: power budget, cooling architecture, interconnect topology, weight, transport, and serviceability.
• You've shipped dense liquid-cooled rack-scale products, NVL-class or equivalent.
• You've led the EE, ME, and thermal engineers who executed your architecture, not just advised them.
• You've traded real things away on a shipping rack and taken the pushback that came with it.
• You write interface control documents that let both sides of a boundary move independently, and you've seen what happens when they don't.
• You hold a defensible view on copper versus optics for scale-up interconnect at 200G+ per lane, and you can argue where the crossover sits.
• Bonus: NVL-class rack programs, transport and seismic qualification, facility-side liquid cooling fluency, or direct engagement with accelerator vendor roadmaps.
