Details

NVIDIA is building the world’s most groundbreaking and innovative accelerated computing platforms for AI and HPC. As AI workloads scale to unprecedented levels, the network is the backbone that makes large compute clusters possible. In this role you will assist with designs and architectures for next-generation networking solutions that connect thousands of GPUs and enable advanced AI supercomputers and enterprise AI infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Act as a key technical expert connecting NVIDIA's new networking technology builds (including Infiniband, Spectrum-X, NVLink, and software solutions).
• Partner with internal engineering efforts in GPU cluster building and networking and convey architecture and guidelines information directly to customers and field teams.
• Guide field teams and customers in cluster design, balancing design principles with situational limitations to create performant and supportable GPU clusters.
• Work closely with field teams to ensure successful first deployments of new products, including new network architectures and topologies.
• Provide feedback from customers/field on networking development and workflows to engineering teams and contribute to customer-facing documentation and reference material.
• Perform hands-on assistance to field teams debugging network build, configuration, and performance issues, leveraging internal engineering expertise and known bugs.
• Work on end-to-end cluster design, network topology and architecture optimization, performance modeling and validation.

Requirements

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8+ years of experience in network architecture, network design, network validation and troubleshooting.
• Proven expertise in designing large-scale distributed systems, AI clusters, or HPC infrastructure.
• Ability to translate complex engineering concepts into customer-ready documentation, diagrams, and reference material.

Ways to stand out
