About the role

  • Platform Architect leading design and optimization of AI infrastructure platforms. Focused on thermal management for cooling solutions in AI datacenters.

Responsibilities

  • Define end-to-end thermal architecture strategies for GPU servers, optical interconnects, and CPO-based systems
  • Develop system-level approaches to balance performance, heat dissipation, reliability, and energy efficiency
  • Design and optimize solutions for: High-power GPUs and accelerators, Dense optical I/O (pluggable and co-packaged optics), Rack- and cluster-level thermal constraints
  • Optimize cooling strategies for high-density AI workloads and optical bandwidth scaling
  • Analyze and improve thermal resistance, junction temperatures, and cooling efficiency
  • Lead design and evaluation of advanced cooling approaches, including: Air cooling (high-performance heatsinks, airflow optimization), Liquid cooling (direct-to-chip, cold plates), Immersion cooling and emerging techniques
  • Architect thermal solutions for: High-speed optical transceivers (400G/800G/1.6T+), Co-packaged optics (CPO) integrated with switch or GPU ASICs
  • Collaborate with silicon photonics teams to co-design thermal-aware optical packaging architectures
  • Design GPU server platforms optimized for thermal efficiency, including: Multi-GPU configurations and interconnect density, Power delivery and cooling integration, Airflow and liquid loop design
  • Drive innovations in rack-level and data center-level cooling, including: High-density rack (>50–100kW) thermal strategies, Integration with facility cooling systems, Optimization for power usage effectiveness (PUE)

Requirements

  • Required Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field
  • 8–12+ years of experience in system architecture, thermal engineering, or hardware platform design
  • Deep expertise in: Thermal management and cooling technologies for high-performance systems, GPU servers, AI/HPC infrastructure, or data center platforms, Optical interconnects and high-speed systems (1.6T+)
  • Strong understanding of: Heat transfer (conduction, convection, liquid cooling systems), Power density and thermal constraints in modern compute systems, Tradeoffs across performance, cooling, cost, and reliability
  • Preferred Experience working with hyperscalers or large-scale AI deployments
  • Experience with co-packaged optics (CPO) and silicon photonics thermal challenges
  • Hands-on design experience with: Liquid cooling systems and cold plate design, High-density rack and cluster cooling
  • Knowledge of: Optical module thermal constraints and reliability, Data center infrastructure (HVAC, liquid loops, facility integration)
