## Description

MediaTek's Data Center team is at the forefront of innovation, driving the development of cutting-edge technologies that power the world's most advanced data centers. We are a dynamic group of system architects, packaging technology developers, and SoC design experts dedicated to creating high-performance, efficient, and reliable solutions. Our team collaborates closely to push the boundaries of technology, ensuring optimal performance, power efficiency, and scalability for data center applications. Join our Data Center team and be a part of the technological revolution that is shaping the future of data centers. If you are passionate about innovation and have the expertise to drive strategic technology development, we would love to hear from you.

About the Role We are seeking an AI Server Platform Architect to own the compute building block of the rack: xPU (ASIC) platform integration and the server board/compute tray that carries it. You will define board and tray architecture, xPU platform requirements and tray-level power and thermal envelopes, and support chassis integration with the Rack Thermal & Mechanical Architect. You will also lead system bring-up, validation, reliability and safety/EMC compliance for the team, co-own rack bring-up with the Rack System Architect and Technical Project Manager, and work closely with third-party ODM vendors and CSP/OEM and Datacenter customers to drive co-engineering.

Key Responsibilities

 * xPU integration: Own platform-level requirements for the xPU (power, thermal, signal integrity, form factor) with the silicon team.
 * Compute tray architecture: Define server board and tray architecture (xPU, host CPU, memory, PCIe/NVLink, BMC, on-board power).
 * Platform power/thermal: Set tray power and thermal envelopes, power capping and management policy.
 * Chassis integration: Support the Rack Thermal & Mechanical Architect on tray envelopes, serviceability, hot-swap and cabling.
 * Fabric attach: Support the AI Rack Network Architect on NVLink Fusion and NVLink switch connectivity.
 * Bring-up: Lead hands-on system bring-up and debug with firmware, BIOS and BMC teams.
 * Validation & reliability: Own the test plan (functional, stress, burn-in, MTBF) and failure analysis.
 * Compliance: Drive safety, EMC and regulatory certification (UL/IEC 62368-1, FCC/CE).
 * ODM/OEM: Run design reviews and NPI readiness with manufacturing partners.
