Solution Architect- AI

Solution Architect AI

Department:

Job Purpose

To architect, design, and implement GPU-enabled High Performance Computing (HPC) and AI/ML platform solutions that are scalable, secure, and optimized to support enterprise AI, ML/DL workloads, simulation, and large-scale data analytics. This role will define infrastructure strategies, workload placement, performance tuning, and managed service roadmaps for GPU and HPC platforms within the Data Centre business.

Key Responsibilities

Platform Architecture & Design

• Architect GPU and HPC infrastructure platforms for AI/ML training, inference, and HPC workloads.
• Design GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) models including on-demand, reserved, and burst GPU clusters.
• Integrate AI/ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, KubeFlow, JupyterHub, etc.) into enterprise-ready stacks.

Infrastructure & Workload Optimization

• Optimize performance tuning, resource scheduling, and workload orchestration across HPC clusters and GPU nodes.
• Enhance distributed training, model parallelism, and storage bandwidth utilization (NVMe, Lustre, GPFS, Ceph).

AI/ML Platform Enablement

• Provide cloud-native environments with containerized ML workflows (Kubernetes, Docker, Singularity).
• Build and manage model hosting and inference platforms (REST APIs, containerized inference servers).

Security & Compliance

• Implement data security, encryption, access control, and compliance frameworks for sensitive AI/HPC workloads.
• Architect air-gapped solutions for government/defense workloads when required.

Technology Integration & Innovation

• Evaluate and integrate next-generation GPUs (NVIDIA H200/A100/L40S, AMD MI300, etc.), HPC accelerators, and AI chipsets.
• Enable hybrid and hyperconverged AI infrastructure combining GPU, CPU, and storage resources.

Customer & Business Enablement

• Collaborate with data scientists, researchers, and enterprise customers to align platform capabilities with business outcomes.
• Define GPU/HPC platform services catalog and managed service offerings.

Automation & DevOps

• Implement MLOps pipelines, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible), and workload scheduling (SLURM, Kubernetes).

Qualifications & Experience

Educational Qualifications

• BE/B-Tech or equivalent in Computer Science, Electronics & Communication, or related fields.

Experience

• 812 years of overall IT experience, including 5+ years in HPC/AI/ML/GPU platform architecture.

Technical Expertise
