And we've only scratched the surface of what we can accomplish when we apply our technology to it. We need passionate, hard-‐working and creative people to help us seek some of these outstanding opportunities.
We are now looking for a System & Network Solution Architect to join the NVIDIA China Solution Architect team. In this role, you will engage and support design-in projects with major China OEM customers, focusing on integrating NVIDIA’s world-class networking portfolio (ConnectX, BlueField, and Spectrum Switches). As a Solution Architect, you will act as the technical bridge between NVIDIA engineering and our OEM partners. You will guide customers through the integration of next-generation networking into their server and storage platforms, ensuring seamless compatibility, performance optimization, and successful mass production.
What you’ll be doing:
Lead OEM Design-in & Integration: Work closely with OEM customers to integrate NVIDIA networking products (e.g., CX8/CX9, CX6 Dx, BF3 DPUs) and Switch platforms (Spectrum-4/6 Blackbox & Whitebox) into their server lineups.
Architecture & Customization: Understand customer requirements to provide system-level architectural guidance. Lead technical discussions on system topology, thermal/mechanical constraints, firmware customization, and sideband management (NC-SI, PLDM).
System Bring-up & Support: Support customers during the bring-up phase of new server designs. Diagnose complex system-level issues involving PCIe, BIOS/BMC, firmware, and OS/Driver interactions.
Performance Optimization: Guide customers in optimizing network performance for AI, HPC, and Cloud workloads, ensuring the best integration of NVIDIA NICs and DPUs within their specific hardware environments.
Crisis Management: Handle in-depth hands-on engagement with customers to resolve critical technical blockers during the NPI (New Product Introduction) and production phases.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with NVIDIA worldwide hardware, firmware, software, and product teams to drive customer requirements and resolve issues. Act as the technical advocate for the customer within NVIDIA.
What we need to see:
BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree.
5+ years of relevant experience in Server System Architecture, Network Engineering, or Data Center Infrastructure.
Deep understanding of Server Architecture: Familiarity with x86/ARM server system design, PCIe architecture, BIOS/BMC, and system management standards (IPMI, Redfish).
Networking Knowledge: Strong understanding of high-speed networking concepts (Ethernet, InfiniBand) and familiarity with Network Interface Cards (NICs) or Switches.
Hands-on Technical Skills: Strong expertise in Linux system administration and scripting (Python/Bash) for debugging and automation.
Ability to debug complex system integration issues (e.g., link stability, enumeration, thermal throttling, firmware updates).
Excellent communication and planning skills, able to articulate complex technical concepts to both engineering and management teams.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Experience with NVIDIA Networking products (ConnectX, BlueField DPU, Spectrum Switches) integration.
Background in OEM/ODM Server Design or Application Engineering at a semiconductor company.
Knowledge of High-Performance Computing (HPC) or AI Cluster networking architectures (RDMA, RoCE, GPU Direct).
Experience with Switch system design (Whitebox/Blackbox) and NOS (Network Operating System) integration.
Familiarity with virtualization technologies (SR-IOV, vSwitch, VirtIO).
