About this role

Network Cluster Architect - Data center Infrastructure Austin, United States of America The Data Center Hardware Engineering team is responsible for designing and deploying Apple's next-generation compute infrastructure at scale. Our team works on projects from early design conception through mass production, focusing on cluster-level network architecture, data hall power distribution, rack-level electrical systems, and server hardware design. This is a highly cross-functional organization that collaborates closely with mechanical engineering, power systems, software and firmware teams, silicon design, hardware validation, and reliability engineering to deliver high-performance, energy-efficient compute solutions that power Apple's services and AI/ML workloads. We are seeking experienced Systems Architects who can think holistically about infrastructure challenges-from the data center level down to individual components-and drive technical innovation through data-driven analysis and executive-level communication. Come join us! The Network Cluster Architect will be responsible for owning and advancing critical investigations spanning cluster-level network topology, hall-level power distribution, rack-level electrical systems, and server hardware electronics design. This role involves coordinating with cross-functional teams including electrical validation, software engineering, and hardware test teams to aggregate validation results and verifying design assumptions. System Architecture & Design: Define and model data center infrastructure solutions from computer architecture and performance perspectives, including cluster network architectures, rack configurations, and scale-out requirements for dense compute and AI/ML workloads. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, thermal, power, networking, firmware, software, and datacenter infrastructure stakeholders to ensure performant and scalable deployments. Negotiate and balance competing priorities across multiple engineering teams. Technical Investigation & Analysis: Drive ongoing technical
