Staff Solution Architect - Network

San Jose, California, United States

Company: Super Micro Computer

Supermicro IT is seeking a Staff Solution Architect - Network to define scalable, resilient, secure, and AI-ready network architectures across data centers, campuses, global interconnectivity, and hybrid cloud environments. The role owns network solution architecture, HLD/LLD, reference designs, standards, and technical direction for traditional enterprise networks and high-density GPU/AI infrastructure from kW-scale deployments through MW-scale environments.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Own network solution architecture and technical design for data center, AI/GPU infrastructure, campus, global WAN, hybrid cloud, and interconnectivity environments.
• Develop HLDs, LLDs, reference architectures, topology diagrams, routing/IP designs, implementation standards, and technical decision documentation.
• Architect data center spine-leaf fabrics using BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, ECMP, segmentation, high availability, and high-speed 100G/400G/800G connectivity as applicable.
• Design AI/GPU network fabrics from kW to MW scale by translating rack/GPU counts, bandwidth, port density, oversubscription, redundancy, and growth requirements into scalable network designs.
• Define East-West and North-South traffic architectures supporting GPU/compute, storage, applications, management, Internet edge, and external connectivity.
• Design rack networking, ToR/leaf connectivity, OOB management, fiber/cabling, uplinks, redundancy, and integration with GPU/compute systems.
• Architect data center interconnectivity, DR, global WAN, and hybrid-cloud solutions across data centers, colocation sites, campuses, and cloud using MPLS, SD-WAN, DIA, VPN, and carrier services.
• Define network security architecture including firewall zones, segmentation, secure Internet edge, VPN/remote access, access controls, and resilient firewall designs.
• Develop campus architectures covering core/distribution/access, wired and wireless networks, IDF/MDF, fiber backbone, Internet connectivity, segmentation, and high availability.
• Define network observability, NOC operational requirements, SLA/KPI measurements, DR/failover requirements, and controls supporting SOX and related audit processes.
• Perform architecture gap assessments for capacity, resiliency, performance, security, and technology lifecycle; develop target-state designs and remediation roadmaps.
• Develop network standards, SOPs, policies, procedures, deployment templates, and architecture documentation; collaborate across engineering, operations, security, cloud, facilities, vendors, and business teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent professional experience.
• 12+ years of network architecture or engineering experience with strong data center and enterprise network design expertise.
• Deep knowledge of BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, ECMP, spine-leaf architecture, routing/switching, segmentation, high availability, and data center interconnectivity.
• Strong experience with firewalls, VPN, WAN, MPLS/SD-WAN, DIA, campus wired/wireless, fiber, and hybrid-cloud connectivity.
• Experience with AI/HPC/GPU networking, high-speed Ethernet and/or InfiniBand, and network capacity/fabric calculations is strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to produce HLDs, LLDs, reference architectures, standards, and clear technical documentation.
• Strong technical judgment, cross-functional collaboration, problem-solving, and communication skills; relevant expert-level certifications are a plus.
