Senior Architect for Multi-Generation HPC & AI Systems

Jobtailor; California (MO); On-site; USD 180,000 - 300,000; Full time

Job summary

Jobtailor is seeking a senior architecture leader to define multi-generation strategies for application scaling across DRAM, NVLink, C2C, compute, and the supporting software stack. You will translate workload behavior into architectural requirements, performance targets, and investment priorities.

You will map bottlenecks as workloads scale across dies, GPUs, nodes, and model sizes, evaluate system-level trade-offs, and establish models and decision frameworks.

Qualifications

• MSEE/MSCE/PhD or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 18+ years of relevant industry or academic experience, including experience setting architecture direction for complex, high-performance systems.
• Deep understanding of system performance and scaling, including interactions among DRAM behavior, high-bandwidth fabrics such as NVLink, and C2C communication.
• Strong application-level intuition, including the ability to connect workload algorithms, parallelism, communication, locality, and data movement to architecture choices and measurable outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Define the multi-generation strategy for application scaling across DRAM, NVLink, C2C, compute, and the supporting software stack.
• Translate the behavior of important AI, HPC, and accelerated computing applications into architectural requirements, performance targets, and investment priorities.
• Build a clear view of how bottlenecks shift as workloads scale across dies, GPUs, nodes, model sizes, data sets, and communication patterns.
• Evaluate system-level trade-offs across bandwidth, latency, capacity, topology, coherence, power, area, cost, programmability, and resiliency.
• Establish common workload scenarios, scaling metrics, models, and decision frameworks.
• Identify architectural discontinuities and emerging technology opportunities.
