Job Family Definition:

A Presales Consultant - Technical Architect Will:

• Configure hardware clusters for HPC & AI workloads using your knowledge of Infiniband and Ethernet networking.
• Apply advanced knowledge of company hardware products and infrastructure solutions as well as customers' business and technical environment to translate the functional view into a technical view and architect complex solutions that can be scaled to accommodate growth.
  
  

Responsible for architecting solutions that will achieve customer business outcomes either within a specific technical domain, or across the broader company portfolio (hardware, software, services, and as a service offerings) in combination with all necessary third-party components (e.g. software and integration).

Responsibilities:

• Lead presales technical engagements: gather requirements, translate business outcomes into functional and technical architectures, and present proposals to customers and partners.
• Architect end-to-end HPC/AI infrastructure: compute/GPU nodes, storage, interconnects, orchestration, monitoring, and management.
• Design and validate high-performance networking for east-west and north-south traffic (InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet); size interconnects and topology for GPU-accelerated workloads.
• Create detailed BOMs, rack elevations, cable/power plans, PDU layouts, and facility-fit analyses (power, cooling, rack density, liquid cooling considerations).
• Build and run POCs/demos, run benchmarks, tune systems, and document results and recommendations.
• Prepare technical content for RFI/RFP responses, risk assessments, and implementation plans.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with sales, engineering, product management, services, and partners to ensure deliverability and commercial alignment.

• Proven experience designing and validating GPUaccelerated clusters (NVIDIA preferred) including compute/node sizing, networking (InfiniBand and highspeed Ethernet), and storage considerations.
• Demonstrable facilitylevel skills: producing BOMs, rack elevations, power/cooling/PDUs and cabling plans, and performing facilityfit assessments (rack density, liquid cooling, P2P cabling).
• Handson POC and performance validation experience (benchmarking/tuning) plus scripting/automation skills (Python, Bash, or similar) is a plus
• Strong written/verbal communication for customer deliverables.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with cluster schedulers and storage (Slurm, PBS,Lustre, Weka, Vast).
• Experience with vendor reference architectures (e.g., NVIDIANCP), orchestration (Kubernetes for AI), or hybrid cloud HPC integrations.
• Prior presales experience: RFI/RFP responses, proposals, and customer-facing demos.
• Relevant industry certifications (networking, storage, or vendor-specific).
  
  

Nice-to-Have

• Benchmarking and performance tuning for AI training/inference.
