This strategic role focuses on crafting cutting-edge liquid-cooled HPC solutions., * 8+ years of experience designing and architecting large-scale HPC and distributed computing systems.

 * Expert-level knowledge of HPC hardware including GPU clusters, compute nodes, high-speed networking (InfiniBand, Ethernet), and distributed storage.
 * Hands-on experience with direct-to-chip liquid cooling systems.
 * Proven expertise in creating robust performance benchmarks, capacity planning, and system validation.
 * Exceptional skills in system architecture, design documentation, and technical specifications.
 * Ability to work collaboratively across teams, ensuring alignment of technical solutions with business objectives.
 * Self-motivated, strategic thinker with strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.

Nice to Have

 * Prior experience with AI infrastructure design.
 * Familiarity with cloud computing environments and hybrid cloud HPC architectures.
 * Knowledge of automation and orchestration tools (Ansible, Terraform, Kubernetes).

## Description

*Note: This position requires presence in our San Francisco or San Jose office location 4 days per week; Lambda's designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.

Architecture leads the design, development, and execution of next-generation GPU clusters. Our team gets first access to the latest technologies and is responsible for translating emerging platform capabilities into scalable, production-ready infrastructure. Our scope spans from rack and pod level system arrangement that maximizes the data center power footprint, to right-sizing compute fabrics that meet the most demanding customer workloads.

We work at the intersection of GPU systems, high-performance networking, power and cooling, data center design, and customer-scale AI infrastructure., * Design and architect advanced HPC systems optimized for large-scale computational workloads and AI applications.

 * Collaborate with internal teams and stakeholders to define system requirements and performance goals.
 * Develop comprehensive testing frameworks to rigorously assess system performance, scalability, and reliability.
 * Evaluate emerging technologies and architectural approaches to continuously enhance infrastructure capabilities.
 * Create detailed architectural plans, documentation, and blueprints to guide implementation teams.
 * Provide technical leadership and mentoring to engineering teams, fostering best practices in HPC architecture.
