Distinguished Technologist - Memory/Storage Utilization & Data Placement Architect
About The Position
This role is responsible for defining how memory and storage are jointly utilized as a unified data hierarchy for AI workloads, optimizing data placement, movement, and persistence. This role leverages technical and business expertise to outline strategy roadmaps for the function. The role identifies future growth opportunities and addresses gaps with innovative solutions. The role collaborates closely with various stakeholders, empowers teams to achieve remarkable and consequential outcomes, and spearheads industry-leading research and development. Responsibilities Architect memory/storage hierarchy (DRAM, SSD, cache layers) Define policies for data placement & movement across tiers (hot vs. cold data) Optimize paging, prefetching, and streaming for AI inference/training Partner with SW team to ensure models are co-optimized across memory & storage for max AI performance Enable efficient use of storage as memory extension (e.g., spillover, KV cache strategies) Collaborate with OS/runtime teams on data orchestration Evaluate emerging approaches (unified memory, memory pooling, compression) Leverages recognized technical and business expertise to define long-term vision and strategy for electrical hardware design and development across multiple feature areas and divisional boundaries. Develops technology roadmaps for electrical/hardware engineering team; identifies gaps and solutions for future growth. Communicates strategy and technology roadmaps to executive staff, industry partners and customers. Provides innovative solutions and integrates advanced technologies, theories, or techniques with a significant impact across disciplines, championing large projects for long-range goals. Provides consultation, design input, and feedback for new product development and design reviews across multiple organizations and architectures. Works closely with product management, engineering stakeholders from related departments and empowers the teams to deliver outstanding and impactful results. Initiates industry-leading research and development, serving as a recognized lead authority internally and externally. Provides mentoring and guidance to less-experienced staff members to set an example of electrical hardware design and development, innovation, and excellence. Participates in and provides input on process for selection of future technical leaders.
