[Hiring] Lead GPU Cluster Solutions Architect @Orion Placement

Role Description

Own end-to-end technical architecture for GPU cluster deployments from customer requirements through deployment-ready design.

• Design GPU cluster configurations spanning compute, storage, networking, software requirements, and supporting infrastructure.
• Translate client technical requirements into complete bills of design covering all required compute, storage, networking, and connectivity components.
• Apply NVIDIA Reference Architecture principles, including HGX and NVL72-based GPU cluster designs.
• Design high-performance network fabrics using InfiniBand, RoCE, and high-speed Ethernet based on workload and performance requirements.
• Incorporate internet, VPN, firewall, dedicated circuit, protected optical, and other connectivity requirements into cluster architectures.
• Develop hot and cold sparing strategies designed to meet contracted availability and SLA commitments.
• Adapt cluster designs to site-specific power, cooling, space, hardware, and deployment constraints.
• Partner with data center teams to account for real-world facility limitations when finalizing technical architecture.
• Work with Supply Chain to ensure architecture decisions align with realistic hardware availability and lead times.
• Partner with deployment leadership and program management to translate designs into executable build plans.
• Support acceptance test planning and define technical criteria that validate the deployed architecture against the approved design.
• Evaluate and incorporate high-speed shared storage solutions such as Weka, VAST Data, and DDN where appropriate.
• Maintain technical ownership of architecture decisions while balancing performance, availability, cost, schedule, and operational supportability.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in solutions architecture, network engineering, systems engineering, or similar roles supporting GPU, HPC, or large-scale compute infrastructure.
• Deep working knowledge of NVIDIA Reference Architecture and GPU cluster design principles.
• Hands-on experience designing InfiniBand, RoCE, and/or high-speed Ethernet fabrics.
• Proven experience designing GPU or HPC clusters rather than solely consuming cloud infrastructure.
• Experience developing sparing and spares strategies for mission-critical infrastructure.
• Experience integrating firewalls, VPNs, dedicated circuits, protected optical connectivity, and related networking requirements into infrastructure designs.
• Experience with high-speed shared storage technologies such as Weka, VAST Data, or DDN.
• Strong understanding of compute, storage, networking, and data center infrastructure dependencies.
• Ability to translate complex customer requirements into complete, practical, buildable technical architectures.
• Strong cross-functional communication and documentation skills.
• Experience supporting enterprise customers or neocloud deployments is preferred.
• NVIDIA NCP program or certification experience is a plus.
• Experience with capacity planning or sparing modeling tools is a plus.
