System Architect Lead

Join Normal as a Hardware System Design Engineer, where you will lead the end-to-end system architecture design of AI compute hardware. You will define system requirements, evaluate architectural options, and drive key technical decisions. Your role will involve collaborating closely with hardware, software, and other engineering teams to ensure system designs meet performance and workload requirements. You will also be responsible for translating workload and performance requirements into hardware decisions, leading architecture design across boards, chassis, and racks, and defining and owning the bring-up, system integration, validation, and qualification strategy.

• Lead the system architecture design of AI compute hardware from initial concept to deployment.
• Define system requirements and specifications, evaluate architectural options, and drive key technical decisions.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and external partners to ensure system designs meet performance requirements.

• Experience taking hardware systems from early requirements and architecture through specification, integration, bring-up, validation, and production deployment
• Experience working with ODMs, suppliers, and other hardware partners, including reviewing designs, defining technical requirements, and driving technical issues to resolution
• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Significant experience architecting complex compute hardware systems, spanning server or machine-level designs through rack-scale platforms
• Experience designing high-performance AI compute systems at server and rack scale
• Experience bringing novel hardware architectures into production-scale compute systems
• Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
