The opportunity

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. This architecture allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds; over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services.

What you'll do

  • Own end-to-end technical execution for server systems and network equipment: in Cerebras clusters, including NPIs, platform refreshes, and major component or configuration changes.

  • Drive requirements gathering and technical trade-off decisions, converting: inputs into executable plans with clear milestones, readiness gates, and cross-functional deliverables.

  • Represent Cluster Architecture in executive reviews, OKR cycles, and leadership or customer forums as needed.

  • Build and manage integrated execution plans across vendors and internal: teams, tracking dependencies, critical paths, and risks.

  • Lead OEM/ODM, switch-vendor, and component-vendor engagements, including: RFI/RFP activities, technical evaluations, samples, escalations, and roadmap alignment.

  • Partner with Compute, Server Platform, and Network Architects to translate: architectural direction into platform decisions, qualification plans, acceptance criteria, and rollout strategies.

What they're looking for

  • Lead NPI execution, qualification, and release readiness, including: lab/staging validation, regression tracking, issue resolution, and go/no-go decisions.
  • Step into execution gaps as needed to drive technical issues to closure and: keep server and network programs moving.
  • Own risk and change management into production, including versioning, rollout: sequencing, and stakeholder communication.
  • Ensure operational readiness with deployment and fleet teams and maintain: alignment with rack and physical datacenter owners on power, cooling, space, and cabling constraints.
