Nvidia Senior Product Architect HPC Networking 

United States, Texas 

78059187

What you’ll be doing:

• Architect the next generation of datacenter-scale networking infrastructure, leveraging SpectrumX, InfiniBand, NVLink Switches, and other sophisticated interconnect technologies.

• Design network and hardware-focused architectures that unlock the full potential of NVIDIA GPUs, DPUs, compute and storage servers through high-bandwidth, low-latency fabrics.

• Stay at the forefront of networking trends: software defined networking (SDN), programmable fabrics, congestion control, and datacenter interconnects.

• Define detailed product architectures, including performance, scalability, interoperability, datacenter deployment requirements. andlead prototyping, benchmarking, and validation of networking-focused designs at scale, diagnosing bottlenecks and driving innovations in performance.

• Collaborate with internal hardware, software, security, and systems teams to ensure smooth integration of networking, processing, and storage systems.

• Partner with customers and ecosystem partners to co-innovate, deliver proof-of-concepts (POCs) and MVPs that showcase NVIDIA networking leadership, and contribute to developer and customer enablement by producing educational materials and advocating networking-first designs in partner forums and communities.

• Create technical collateral including whitepapers, reference architectures, and developer documentation to guide adoption and best practices.

What we need to see:

• 12+ years of experience architecting datacenter-scale HPC or networking infrastructure as a Principal Architect, Solutions Architect, Principal Engineer, or equivalent.

• Bachelors or Maters degree in Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).

• Deep expertise in networking technologies including high-performance Ethernet (SpectrumX), InfiniBand, NVLink Switches/Fabrics, and related interconnects.

• Strong background in datacenter-scale network design: topologies, routing, congestion management, and fabric scalability.

• Experience working with benchmarking tools and performance analysis for large-scale HPC/AI networking deployments.

• Understanding of DPU (or similar SmartNIC) architectures and their role in software defined networking (SDN), security enforcement, and storage acceleration.

• Deep understanding of network isolation using VLAN, VxLAN, and EVPN overlays through SDN.

• Familiarity with Kubernetes networking, including CNI, Multus, and workload isolation at scale.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to distill highly technical networking concepts into actionable business and product insights.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Hands-on experience designing and deploying large-scale multi-tenant enterprise networking fabrics for AI/HPC workloads.

• Expertise in software-defined networking and programmable fabrics, with contributions to open standards or open-source projects.

• integrating K8s, Multus, and sophisticated CNI plugins in high-performance environments.

• Published work, patents, or advanced certifications in networking or HPC systems.
