Job Overview

Qualcomm is expanding its AI Data Center and accelerator platforms to deliver scalable, high-performance systems optimized for AI inference and training workloads. We are seeking a Principal Product & Solutions Architect with deep expertise spanning AI hardware platforms, data center system architecture, customer solutions engineering, and product strategy.

In this role, you will operate as a senior technical authority and customer-facing architect, leading system-level design discussions across AI accelerators, rack-scale platforms, and software enablement, while also shaping product direction and platform roadmaps. You will partner closely with engineering, product management, and customer teams to ensure platforms are technically differentiated, deployable at scale, and aligned with real-world AI workloads.

This role requires 15+ years of experience and operates at a Principal level, with broad influence across silicon, systems, software, and customer engagement.

What You’ll Do

• Lead system-level architecture and design for AI data center platforms, spanning AI accelerators, host systems, memory, networking, storage, and rack-scale deployments.
• Act as a trusted technical advisor for strategic customers, driving deep technical discovery, architecture alignment, and solution design across pre-sales and post-sales engagements.
• Serve as a senior technical interface to translate customer and workload requirements into clear architecture and engineering specifications.
• Drive hardware-software co-design, working closely with silicon, platform, and software teams from early architecture through system bring-up, validation, and launch.
• Define reference architectures for AI inference and training infrastructures, including scale-up, scale-out, and rack-scale configurations.
• Analyze system performance across compute, memory, interconnect, and storage; identify bottlenecks and guide optimization strategies.
• Provide architectural guidance on high-density AI deployments, including power, thermal, reliability, and serviceability considerations.
• Partner with product management to influence platform and silicon roadmaps, leveraging customer feedback, performance data, and ecosystem insights.
• Support customer pilots, proofs-of-concept, and escalations involving complex multi-component AI systems.
• Represent Qualcomm in deep technical reviews, executive discussions, and architecture workshops with customers and partners.
• Lead technical enablement activities including solution workshops, internal training, and platform evangelism.
• Author and review architecture documentation, reference designs, performance studies, and application notes.
• Stay current on emerging trends in AI infrastructure, accelerator-based systems, distributed AI, and data center architecture.
