Do you thrive on taking a strategic product from launch to go to market at scale across the world’s largest customers? NVIDIA is seeking a hands-on, action-oriented Senior Solutions Architect to join our team, focused on the technical execution across engineering, product, and sales teams and support to achieve Hyperscaler-scale deployment for our groundbreaking data center products. This role requires a strong passion for system design and a successful history of engaging with customers on a deep technical level, preferably with direct datacenter knowledge and experience debugging datacenter platforms. You will serve as a critical bridge between product strategy and large-scale customer deployment.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Help architect and scale high-performance, distributed AI infrastructure on-prem or in the cloud built with the latest NVIDIA GPU supercomputers for new and existing customers.

  • Act as a technical specialist on GPU and networking products, directly supporting sales account managers to secure design wins.

  • Provide technical and onsite support to solve complex hardware and software problems, with a focus on deep learning inference.

  • Collect, maintain, and analyze complex deployment data and logs to assess product health, identify technical challenges, and guide the customer to resolution of roadblocks.

  • Actively establish and nurture technical relationships with engineers and architects at key customer accounts.

  • Identify customer architectures and key product requirements in the CSP/OEM AI market to successfully implement NVIDIA's solutions.

  • Develop technical solutions including hardware & software demos and example system designs.

  • Offer technical and sales training to direct sales teams and channel partners.

What we need to see:

  • BS/MS/PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or other Engineering fields or equivalent experience.

  • 8+ years of work-related experience in the high-tech electronics industry, particularly in system design or technical customer support roles.

  • Technical competence to roll up your sleeves, look at logs and deployment data, and guide a customer to the resolution of technical issues

  • Expert analytical and problem-solving abilities.

  • Capable of excelling in a dynamic, constantly evolving environment.

  • Excellent written and oral communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate effectively with management and engineering teams.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience working in a Hyperscaler or Cloud Service Provider (CSP) environment or extensive experience engaging with them as a strategic partner.

  • Hands-on experience with NVIDIA hardware (e.g., ARM CPU, H100, GB200) and software libraries, with an understanding of performance tuning and error diagnostics.

  • Established track record of driving a product from the pilot phase to high-volume, at-scale deployment in a data center environment.

  • Practical knowledge of NVIDIA systems technology such as NCCL, DCGM, and UFM.

  • Knowledge of Embedded Linux Systems, APIs, and similar embedded OS.
