Compute Systems Architect - Expeditionary AI/HPC Data Centers

The role

You will design and build tactical AI/HPC data centers from the ground up. This involves architecting electrical infrastructure, compute nodes, power distribution, thermal management, and physical hardening for austere environments.

What you will do

• Own end-to-end architecture of AI Factory tactical data centers
• Design GPU-accelerated compute clusters for AI inference and training
• Engineer advanced thermal solutions like liquid or immersion cooling
• Design air-transportable, modular, and rapidly deployable systems
• Build infrastructure for austere and contested environments
• Work with Lattice and AI/ML teams to meet software requirements
• Partner with defense customers to translate requirements into architectures
• Lead prototyping, field testing, and operational validation
• Drive systems from concept through production at scale
• Define standards for tactical AI compute infrastructure

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field
• 5+ years of experience designing and deploying data center infrastructure, HPC clusters, large-scale compute systems, or tensor / accelerator compute nodes
• 8+ years of engineering experience designing and deploying electrical products
• Deep expertise in GPU-accelerated computing architecture for AI/ML workloads
• Strong understanding of power distribution systems for high-density compute
• Experience with thermal management for high-power-density systems
• Proven track record building and deploying production infrastructure
• Systems thinking ability to optimize across competing constraints
• U.S. Person status required (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee)
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
• Must be able to travel up to 15% of the time

Nice to have

• Background in AI/ML infrastructure supporting large-scale inference, computer vision, or autonomous systems
• Experienced with high speed compute infrastructure networking and network topologies
• Familiarity with edge computing architectures, distributed inference systems, or autonomous vehicles
• Background in 3-phase power distribution or HV battery systems
• Experience with tactical military systems, ruggedized computing, or deployable infrastructure
• Knowledge of military environmental standards (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461)
• Hands-on experience with containerized or modular data center designs
• Experience with expeditionary or forward operating base (FOB) infrastructure
• Knowledge of electromagnetic hardening and operation in GPS-denied environments
• Experience with SCIF design or accreditation

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees

Before you apply

• U.S. Person status required
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
