Senior Solution Architect - OEM

Works with OEM server manufacturers to architect next-generation ARM-based data center systems, balancing technical design guidance with performance validation and ecosystem enablement. Splits time between hands-on workload optimization and porting, internal engineering collaboration on complex issues, and technical evangelism at design reviews and industry events. Differs from typical solutions roles by requiring deep CPU microarchitecture knowledge and hands-on firmware/kernel configuration rather than pure integration consulting.

Are you passionate about shaping the future of data center CPU platforms? NVIDIA is looking for a Solutions Architect experienced in Arm-based server CPUs to join our dynamic team in Shenzhen or Beijing, China. Act as the technical liaison for NVIDIA’s CPU portfolio with leading OEM server manufacturers, encouraging adoption and improving next-generation server designs and enterprise solutions. This role offers a chance to be part of a team that values innovation and collaboration while advancing performance and scalability benchmarks. What you’ll be doing: As an expert on our data center CPU portfolio, you will work alongside key OEM server partners as they develop and deploy next-generation enterprise and AI servers. Together, we will architect and validate server hardware infrastructure based on ARM server CPUs, actively influencing server reference architectures, our CPU roadmap, and system design guides to ensure top-tier performance, scalability, and system reliability. Workload Migration & Ecosystem Readiness: We will guide OEM partners and their enterprise customers through the porting and optimization of x86 workloads to ARM while collaborating with ISVs and open-source communities to guarantee application readiness across our entire software stack. Performance Tuning & Issue Resolution: We will implement rigorous performance analysis and benchmarking of key enterprise and data center workloads, partnering closely with our internal engineering teams to solve complex scalability and hardware/software integration issues across the CPU, memory, and networking levels. Technical Evangelism & Content Creation: We need you to prepare highly sought-after technical content and present at OEM design-in reviews, executive briefings, and industry events to help us clearly articulate the technical and business value of our NVIDIA CPUs. What we need to see: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience in the field. 5+ years in solution architecture, systems engineering, performance engineering, or similar technical customer-facing role. Solid understanding of server CPU architecture and microarchitecture. Hands-on experience with Arm-based server processors and the Arm software ecosystem. Experience migrating applications from x86 or other ARM platforms, resolving ISA compatibility issues, recompiling dependencies, and applying targeted optimizations to improve performance on the target device. Skill in constructing credible head-to-head comparisons against competing silicon by controlling for process node, memory configuration, and compiler flags to produce publishable performance claims. Measuring real-world efficiency and thermal performance to prove superior TCO advantages over competitors. Deep familiarity with Linux on Arm, including kernel parameters, packaging, and system bring-up for OEM data center platforms. Ways to stand out from the crowd: Hands-on experience configuring bootloaders, firmware (BMC/BIOS/UEFI), kernel drivers, and OS distributions (Linux, RTOS) to rapidly stand up a working software environment on production ARM hardware. Practical experience in server system design, hardware validation, or working directly with major OEM/ODM manufacturers, supported by a solid grasp of modern data center architectures and the interaction between CPUs, GPUs, and networking. Hand-on experience with benchmark suites (SPEC CPU, MLPerf, custom traces) to characterize customer workloads and produce compelling performance comparisons. Strong proficiency in C/C++ and at least one scripting language for tooling, automation, and performance experiments. Superb communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage both deep technical and executive audiences. Widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package.
