As a Solutions Architect, you will be the first line of technical expertise between NVIDIA, our NCP and our end-customers. Your duties will vary from designing new systems, working on proof-of-concept demonstrations, to driving relationships with key technical executives and managers to promote accelerated computing and Generative AI. Dynamically engaging with developers, scientific researchers, data scientists, IT managers and senior leaders is a meaningful part of the Solutions Architect role and will give you experience with a range of challenges and solutions.

What you’ll be doing:

• Engage with NCP to drive initiatives, shape new business opportunities, and cultivate collaborations in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), contributing to the advancement of our cloud solutions.

• Identify and pursue new opportunities for NVIDIA products and technology solutions in datacenters and artificial intelligence applications, closely collaborating with Engineering, Product Management, and Sales teams.

• Serve as a technical specialist for GPU and networking products, collaborating closely with account managers to secure design wins and actively engaging with customer engineers, management, and architects at key accounts.

• Conduct regular technical customer meetings to discuss project and product roadmaps, features, and introduce new technology solutions.

• Strong technical presentation skills in English, confidence in developing Proofs-of-Concept, and a customer-focused mentality, coupled with good organization skills, a logical approach to problem-solving and effective time management for handling concurrent requests.

• Lead technical project aspects of complex data center deployments, including design-win opportunities and responding to RFP/RFI proposals.

What we need to see:

• MS/PhD or similar in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, other Engineering fields with at least 5 years work or research experience in networking fundamentals, TCP/IP stack, and data center designs.

• Ideal candidate possesses 5+ years of Solution Architect experience, demonstrating motivation and skills to drive the technical pre-sales process.

• Deep expertise in datacenter engineering (mechanical, electrical and plumbing), GPU systems, high performance networking (like Infiniband), including a proven understanding of network topologies and storage architecture.

• Knowledge of DevOps/MLOps technologies such as Docker/containers, Kubernetes, data centercompute/network/storagedeployments.

• Large scale systems management experience.

• Experience with Python programming and AI workflow development and deployment (training/inference) would be helpful.

What you’ll be doing:

• Actively promote the NVIDIA culture with partners & customers.

• Activate & enable partners through hands-on workshops and ideation.

• Expand partner’s capabilities with pre-sales support on existing and new technologies.

• Build and nurture an active community of Subject Matter Experts in the partner landscape across EMEA.

• Foster learning and development by sharing feedback, guidance and knowledge with sales and product specialists.

• Support and provide guidance to our partners. Working closely with Partner Business Managers, you’ll get pulled into many conversations with partners and customers where you’ll need to help figure out good next steps on any number of possible topics, although AI Factories to support AI, DL/ML, virtualization and how GPU enabled software bits work are the most common topics.

• Above all, be the person that partners call on when they need to get technical in crafting solutions for customers engaged in AI, DL/ML, HPC, virtualization, visualization and other areas that make use of NVIDIA technology. Backed up by the other Solutions Architects experts, the Engineering organization, and the whole of NVIDIA. Be the face and brains of NVIDIA that our partners will learn to rely on.

• Use product and integration knowledge to deliver technical sales presentations, product demonstrations, hands-on training and proof of concepts, as well as overcome objections.
