Principal Nvidia Ai Factory Solutions Architect

Role: Principal NVIDIA AI Factory Solutions Architect

Location: Bay Area, CA

FTE Only

Mandatory- Nvidia tech stack - AI factory SME

ROLE OVERVIEW:

Our AI Services and Transformation Unit is seeking a hands-on Technology & Solution Architect who lives at the intersection of NVIDIA's AI Factory stack and enterprise client delivery. You are not a generalist - you have personally co- designed, configured, and validated AI Factory infrastructure using NVIDIA hardware and software. As GSI partner practitioner, you will work directly with clients and the NVIDIA partner engineering team to architect, co-design, and bring to production end-to-end AI Factory solutions - from GPU cluster topology and NVIDIA DSX validated designs to Agentic AI workload onboarding and token economics benchmarking.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

AI Factory Co-Design & Client Advisory

Lead client-facing AI Factory co-design engagements: assess existing infrastructure, define target AI Factory architecture using NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory Validated Design and Enterprise Reference Architectures, and

produce deployment-ready technical blueprints.

Advise clients on full NVIDIA AI Factory stack selection - compute (HGX B200/GB200/GB300, MGX, NVL72), networking (InfiniBand NDR/XDR, Spectrum-X), storage, and the NVIDIA AI software layer - matched to their Agentic AI, Physical AI, or HPC workload profile.

Apply NVIDIA DSX co-designed reference framework to architect modular, gigawatt-scalable AI Factories; use Omniverse DSX digital twin blueprints to simulate and validate designs pre-deployment.

Guide clients on cooling strategy for high-density GPU deployments (40 60+ kW/rack): Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC), immersion cooling, and RDHx - translating physics into procurement specifications and facility requirements.

NVIDIA GSI Partner Delivery

Function as unit practitioner-level interface with NVIDIA partner engineering - co-developing client solutions, navigating the GSI validated design process, and maintaining NVIDIA-Certified System configurations across client deployments.

Deploy and configure the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite (NIM microservices, NeMo, Nemotron, Dynamo, RAPIDS, Triton, Run:ai, Mission Control) on client AI Factory infrastructure.

Execute Agentic AI workload onboarding onto unified AI Factory platforms: implement NVIDIA AI Blueprint for RAG, configure cuOpt for operational AI, and deploy Kubernetes-native GPU orchestration using Run:ai and NVIDIA GPU/Network Operators.

Run GenAI-Perf and MLPerf benchmarks to validate AI Factory delivery quality; present token throughput (tokens/sec, tokens/watt, tokens/dollar) performance against client SLAs and competitive benchmarks. Technical Solutioning & Pre-Sales Support

Support pre-sales on AI Factory pursuits: build detailed BoMs, architecture diagrams, and NVIDIA stack solution documents for client proposals and RFP responses.

Quantify business value of AI Factory deployments - translate token economics, GPU utilization rates, and inference latency improvements into client ROI models.

Contribute to unit AI Factory IP: delivery accelerators, validated configuration templates, benchmark frameworks, and reusable reference architecture assets.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

Experience

15+ years in technology consulting or infrastructure engineering; 4+ years specifically in AI Data Center, HPC, or GPU infrastructure delivery - hands-on build, configuration, and operate/manage is required.

Direct, verifiable experience working within or alongside NVIDIA's GSI or partner engineering program - this is non-

negotiable.

Proven track record deploying NVIDIA AI Factory components in production: you have racked, cabled, and configured DGX/HGX/MGX systems and validated NVIDIA-Certified configurations - not supervised a team that did.

Experience in client-facing consulting or advisory roles with technical solutioning and proposal ownership.
