Network Platform Architect

The Network Platform Architect leads the design and definition of Intel's adapter card architectures for IPU/DPU/NIC products, serving as the critical connection point between silicon capabilities and customer deployment realities. This role spans multiple technical domains including adapter design, platform manageability, thermal and power management, and cross-functional execution, requiring you to translate complex system-level tradeoffs into actionable specifications. You'll work closely with silicon architects, board designers, firmware/software engineers, and OEM partners to ensure products are manufacturable, serviceable, and scalable across hyperscale data center environments. This position suits experienced platform engineers who thrive in complex system integration challenges and have the leadership capability to drive alignment across siloed technical teams while managing competing constraints.
