The Role: Systems Engineer, AI & Hyperscale Platforms

As a Systems Engineer, you will define and model complex hyperscale platforms that support both AI/ML and traditional workloads. This role exists to bring structure, clarity, and traceability to system architecture across large-scale infrastructure environments.

You will apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices to define system boundaries, interfaces, and performance characteristics. Your work directly supports scalable platform design and alignment across hardware, software, and infrastructure teams.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and maintain system models using MBSE methodologies (SysML/UML)
• Define system architectures, interfaces, and boundaries across compute, storage, and networking domains
• Translate business and technical requirements into structured system models and specifications
• Perform trade studies evaluating performance, scalability, and cost across AI and traditional workloads
• Ensure traceability between requirements, architecture, and validation
• Partner with hardware, software, and infrastructure teams to align system design
• Support documentation of system behavior, dependencies, and constraints
• Contribute to continuous improvement of modeling practices and standards
