Responsibilities
• Define the platform-level architecture of scale-up and scale-out fabrics across our accelerator product line, from single-node systems through to rack level deployments. • Specify physical interconnect infrastructure — defining the architectural requirements and trade-offs that the AI Infrastructure Systems division executes against, including how interconnect characteristics impact system-level workload performance. • Help translate workload and performance requirements into concrete system-level architecture and interconnect specifications. • Define host integration, covering PCIe, CXL and memory attachment, and the system-level memory organization across the platform. • Own platform performance, power, cost and scalability, ensuring scale-up and scale-out designs sustain target performance as systems grow from single nodes to large clusters. • Define operability and RAS (reliability, availability, serviceability) requirements so platforms are manageable and dependable in production. • Take a leading technical role in the system architecture team, interfacing directly with key partners and internal stakeholders to align architecture decisions, including the AI Infrastructure Systems division, silicon, product management, software, and customers, system integrators and ecosystem partners on architecture requirements — with commercial engagement and design-in ownership sitting with the AIIS Director. • Drive methodology and best practices for platform-level design as the team scales.
