We are looking for an outstanding Senior Networking Software Architect to join the NIC/DPU Software and Firmware Architecture group. In this role, you will help define the next generation of our datacenter and AI networking platforms, with focus on DPU management, QoS, performance, telemetry, and software architecture across stacks. You will work closely with hardware designers, firmware/kernel driver teams, system engineers, validation, product management and customers. The role spans early architecture definition, pre-silicon design, bring-up, and production readiness for large-scale AI and cloud datacenter deployments.

What Youll Be Doing:

Own software and system architecture for next-generation DPU management, QoS, performance, telemetry, and observability features.

Define end-to-end control and management flows across DOCA, host drivers, embedded firmware, BMC, management controllers and external management systems.

Specify telemetry and observability requirements, including counters, logs, traces, events, health monitoring, debug data, and streaming telemetry.

Define management interfaces and APIs for configuration, provisioning, lifecycle operations, diagnostics, and field serviceability.

Write clear architecture specifications, interface definitions, flow diagrams, and design documents for software, firmware, and system teams.

Partner with R&D teams to translate high-level architecture into implementable designs and guide features through development, validation, silicon bring-up, and production.

Analyze system performance bottlenecks, interoperability issues, telemetry gaps, and customer-reported issues, then feed learnings into future architecture.

Collaborate with system and cluster architects to ensure NIC/DPU features fit end-to-end AI datacenter and cloud networking designs.

We are seeking a Senior System Management Architect to lead the management architecture for our advanced SmartNIC cards. You will be the resident expert for SmartNIC system management, ensuring that NIC ASICs, Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs), MCUs, CPUs, and CPLDs operate in perfect unison. You will own the lifecycle management specifications for SmartNIC platforms-from factory provisioning and day-one deployment to complex orchestrated reset flows and secure recovery. If you are someone who enjoys looking at a high-level system diagram and then immediately diving into the I2C/I3C bus topologies and PLDM command structures required to make it work, this role is for you.

What you'll be doing:

System Architecture & Flow Definition: Define and document comprehensive production, provisioning, update, recovery and reset flows for SmartNIC cards. Crucially, you will ensure that these board-level architectural decisions perfectly align with and support overarching platform-level needs, orchestrating seamless coordination between the NIC ASIC, BMC, CPU, and peripheral components.

Security & Provisioning: Specify security provisioning flows including OTP fusing, secure boot enablement, attestation key injection, certificate chain management, RPMC key derivation, and PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography) requirements. Define IPN-to-OPN transition and component locking procedures.

Protocol Implementation & Guidance: Specify the use of standard management protocols (MCTP, PLDM, SPDM, NC-SI) across internal board interfaces to achieve secure boot, firmware updates, and telemetry gathering.

Hardware/Software Intersect: Dive deep into device-level hardware and software behaviour. Define CPLD logic requirements, power-sequencing dependencies, and reset orchestration (e.g., handling PCIe PERST#, SBR, and forced resets) for multi-host and standalone SmartNIC environments.

Interface Management: Architect intra-board communication pathways using PCIe, I2C/I3C, USB, and SPI, ensuring robust out-of-band (OOB) and in-band management connectivity.

Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate tightly with Production teams, Hardware and Firmware Engineering, NIC FW/Driver teams, and QA to translate your architectural specifications into implementable, testable realities.

Technical Documentation: Author rigorous technical specifications, test plans, and architectural design documents to guide both development and factory production.
