About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Hardware Engineering Architect for Server/AI Products to lead architecture concept work during the early design phase. This role focuses on translating customer use cases and technical trends into viable, scalable server architectures to support RFQ/RFI and new business engagements. You will collaborate closely with stakeholders to define system-level strategy, high-level configurations, and functional requirements for next-generation server/AI platforms.

Responsibilities

Lead system-level architecture planning for Server/AI platforms, including product configuration definition, functional partitioning, and mechanical/thermal/power/cooling feasibility alignment.
Drive the definition of system requirements, interface specifications, and early configuration options.
Conduct architectural trade-off analysis balancing performance, cost, power, scalability, and manufacturability.
Collaborate with EE, thermal, mechanical, BMC, and firmware architects to form a complete product-level concept package.
Work with Architecture and BU teams to evaluate RFQ/RFI requirements and generate competitive architecture proposals.
Define and propose system topologies, mechanical footprints, airflow design, I/O mappings, and cabling options.
Interface with customers and internal stakeholders to align design intent and value proposition during the concept phase.
Present and document concept proposals that include block diagrams, design strategy, trade-off summary, and risk evaluation.
Drive internal and customer-facing design reviews for architecture alignment and requirement sign-off.

Requirements

Ability to research and explore unfamiliar technologies and concepts with an eye towards feasibility.
Familiarity with the Intel, AMD, Nvidia or ARM CPU/GPU architectures, specifically optimizing performance, IO, thermals, real-estate and/or power.
Familiarity with PCB board materials and construction techniques, understanding trade-offs and optimizations around insertion loss, via construction, stack-ups and sizing of power planes and shapes.
High-level understanding of voltage regulators related to types of VR architectures, trade-offs, efficiency, thermals, and critical VR components.
Ability to use industry standard ECAD tools to review layouts and schematics.
Fluency in the mechanical, firmware, software and thermal domain, understanding basics nomenclature, concepts and tools used by architectural teammates.
Strategic thinker with system-level ownership mindset.
Strong leadership and cross-functional coordination skills.
Comfortable working in fast-paced, cross-functional, global teams.
Proactive, self-driven, with high adaptability.
Clear technical communicator, able to present trade-offs and justify proposals.
Capable of NRE estimation and abstract requirement hardening.
Fluent in English; able to work with global teams and customers.
