The Role

The AMD Datacenter GPU team is seeking an experienced System Solutions Architect to join our team focused on enabling large clusters for AI inference and training workloads.

The Person

The ideal candidate will be a technical expert in Kubernetes-based AI infrastructure with deep knowledge of datacenter-level solutions for AI inference and training. This role offers the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of AI infrastructure, solving complex technical challenges and helping customers implement transformative AI solutions at-scale.

Key Responsibilities

Lead customer technical discovery with data / ML, platform, and infrastructure stakeholders; map business goals to AI workloads (training, fine-tuning, inference) and success metrics.

Assess current state (Kubernetes, GPUs / accelerators, storage, fabric, security, MLOps) and identify gaps, risks, and required POCs.

Shape reference architectures for large AI clusters (rack design, GPU topology, RoCE / InfiniBand, NVMe / parallel FS, multi-tenant K8s) aligned to customer constraints (power, cooling, space).

Translate model requirements into capacity and performance plans (tokens / sec, latency, throughput) and create BoMs with scaling paths.

Partner with the business development and product teams to build ROI / TCO models (CapEx / OpEx, $ / token, $ / inference) and craft the value story.

Support draft of technical sections of RFIs / RFPs; produce architecture diagrams, deployment plans, and implementation timelines.

Partner with program & engineering teams to define POC success criteria, test plans, and exit reports.

Collaborate with product management to foster product roadmap improvements.
