Seeking a High Performance Compute Systems Architect to design and build tactical AI/HPC data centers from the ground up, focusing on electrical infrastructure, power distribution, thermal management, and physical hardening for austere environments.
Compensation
$146,000—$222,000 USD
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end architecture of AI Factory tactical data centers from compute hardware through power architecture, networking, and thermal cooling systems
- Design GPU-accelerated compute clusters optimized for AI inference and training workloads at the tactical edge (NVIDIA H100/A100, AMD MI300, or similar)
- Engineer advanced thermal solutions for high-density compute without traditional data center infrastructure (liquid cooling, immersion cooling, hybrid systems)
- Design air-transportable, modular systems (containerized, palletized, vehicle-mounted) that are rapidly deployable and operationally credible
- Build infrastructure optimized for austere and contested environments—extreme temperatures, limited grid power, SCIF-accreditable, electromagnetic hardening
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering
- Computer Science
- Electrical Engineering
- related technical field
- Nice to have: AI/ML infrastructure
