- Understand customer networking requirements across AI, HPC, cloud computing, storage, virtualization, container platforms, and enterprise data centers.

- Design and validate end-to-end network architectures connecting servers, switches, NICs, DPUs, GPUs, and storage systems, from single-node deployments to large-scale clusters.

- Support proof-of-concept projects, cluster bring-up, performance validation, deployment readiness, production issue resolution, and customer acceptance testing.

- Analyze network performance, including throughput, latency, packet loss, congestion, RDMA efficiency, and system bottlenecks.

- Provide architecture and optimization guidance for NIC virtualization, hardware offload, RDMA, RoCE, DPDK, SPDK, Open vSwitch, and related technologies.

- Work closely with NVIDIA product, software, firmware, driver, systems engineering, and sales teams to resolve customer issues and improve solution readiness.

- Collaborate with OEMs, ODMs, switch vendors, server vendors, and software partners on platform compatibility, firmware, BIOS/BMC configuration, PCIe topology, and system validation.

- Develop technical presentations, solution guides, deployment documentation, performance reports, best-practice materials, and customer training content.

- Gather customer requirements and field feedback related to product functionality, performance, interoperability, manageability, and deployment challenges.

**Requirements:**

- 5 years above working experience and Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or comparable experience.

- Strong knowledge of NICs, DPUs, and their hardware architecture, capabilities, deployment models, drivers, firmware, and diagnostic tools.

- Solid understanding of SmartNIC/DPU offload technologies, including RDMA, RoCE, TCP/UDP offload, overlay offload, encryption offload, virtual switching offload, and flow-processing acceleration.

- Strong knowledge of Ethernet and data center networking protocols, including L2/L3 forwarding, VLAN, VXLAN, TCP/IP, UDP, ARP, IPv6, MTU, and Jumbo Frames.

- Familiarity with network virtualization and acceleration technologies, including SR-IOV, VirtIO, vDPA, PCIe passthrough, IOMMU, PF/VF, RSS, RPS, XPS, DPDK, SPDK, Open vSwitch, and OVS-DPDK.

- Familiarity with virtualization and cloud-native networking environments, including KVM, VMware, Kubernetes, CNI, Multus, SR-IOV CNI, OpenStack Neutron, OVN, and NFV.

- Familiarity with server platform technologies, including BIOS, BMC, UEFI, Redfish/IPMI, Secure Boot, firmware lifecycle management, system bring-up, and hardware compatibility validation.
