About the Role
AI Factory Overview
WWT's AI Factory practice designs, builds, and delivers purpose-built AI infrastructure environments that enable organizations to deploy, scale, and operationalize advanced AI workloads. By integrating compute, networking, storage, software, and operational expertise into a validated reference architecture, the AI Factory team helps customers accelerate AI adoption while reducing deployment risk and complexity.
As Domain Architect - AI Compute , you will serve as the technical authority for the design, deployment, and lifecycle management of high-performance AI compute infrastructure within WWT's AI Factory practice. Working closely with networking, storage, and software specialists, you will define and deliver scalable GPU-based platforms that form the foundation of modern AI factories, ensuring customers receive reliable, automated, and production-ready environments.
You will bridge architecture and execution, providing deep expertise across NVIDIA and partner compute platforms while guiding customers through both implementation and operational readiness. As a trusted advisor and hands-on technical leader, you will help shape AI Factory solutions, support strategic client engagements, and establish best practices that drive successful AI infrastructure outcomes.
Your time will be split roughly 60/40 between delivering complex AI infrastructure (60%) and providing pre-sales subject matter expertise (40%). You will lead the physical provisioning of NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD , NVIDIA DGX BasePOD , and Cisco AI POD environments, ensuring clients inherit platforms that are genuinely ready for day-2 operations, while helping the sales team scope and cost future deployments.
Key Responsibilities
Delivery and implementation
Bare-metal build and provisioning
• Lead the physical provisioning of GPU platforms and clusters, including NVIDIA GB200/GB300 NVL72 rack-scale systems, NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD and DGX BasePOD reference architectures, HGX- and MGX-based systems, and Cisco AI PODs.
• Use NVIDIA Base Command Manager (BCM) for cluster provisioning, diskless boot, image management, and firmware lifecycle management.
• Harden and baseline the host operating system across the fleet.
• Establish cluster monitoring and lifecycle management with NVIDIA Mission Control.
• Build and execute zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) workflows that turn bare-metal hardware into production-ready nodes.
Scheduler and workload configuration
• Define and enforce fair-share policies, fractional GPU allocation using Multi-Instance GPU (MIG), and preemption logic for multi-tenant environments.
• Ensure orchestration layers respect hardware topology, including NUMA affinity and PCIe topology, to protect performance.
• Implement and tune advanced schedulers: Slurm on bare metal, and NVIDIA Run:ai , Kueue , or Volcano on Kubernetes.
Orchestration and day-2 operations
• Deploy and configure multi-cluster management and observability platforms such as Rafay.
• Implement high-fidelity telemetry using NVIDIA Data Center GPU Manager (DCGM) to monitor GPU health, thermal throttling, and Xid error rates.
• Lead the transition to day-2 operations, ensuring the environment is fully integrated with the client's identity providers and storage backends before handoff.
Performance engineering
• Conduct acceptance and validation testing using NCCL tests and HPL to verify cluster performance against expected baselines.
• Perform kernel and OS-level tuning ( hugepages , sysctl , and driver parameters) to optimize for high-bandwidth InfiniBand and RoCEv2 fabrics.
Pre-sales SME and consulting
Technical scoping and estimation
• Support the sales team by validating customer technical requirements and producing accurate level-of-effort (LOE) estimates for statements of work.
• Define the standard operating environment (SOE) used in proposals to ensure repeatability across engagements.
Bill of materials validation and architecture
• Own the technical accuracy of the compute bill of materials.
• Verify that all components, including memory, NVMe storage, NICs, and optical transceivers, are aligned with NVIDIA-Certified Systems requirements and the qualified component lists in the relevant DGX, HGX, MGX, and NVL72 reference architectures.
• Match GPU platform selection to the client's actual workload profile and growth expectations.
Client workshops
• Lead technical discovery workshops to determine workload requirements, distinguishing between the very different infrastructure profiles of traditional machine learning, LLM training, LLM inference, and Omniverse digital twin and visualization workloads.
