• Provide technical oversight of complex engagements, ensuring compliance with security frameworks such as FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST 800-53, and DoD STIGs, and alignment with agency architecture standards.

• Partner with internal Engineering, Security, Software, Compliance, Product Management, and Operations teams to design, validate, and deliver optimized solutions for GPU clusters, AI frameworks, and HPC environments.

• Lead technical road mapping discussions with government clients (e.g., DoW CDAO, DARPA, IARPA, NISTC, DoW, DoE, and other labs, DHS S&T), identifying future capabilities, potential gaps and influencing Supermicro’s R&D strategy to meet evolving public sector needs.

• Represent Supermicro at technical conferences, government innovation forums, and working groups (e.g. AFCEA, INSA, ACT-IAC, DoDIIS, GEOINT, SPACECOM), serving as a thought leader on AI infrastructure and digital transformation.

• Translate complex technical concepts—such as workload optimization, data flow architectures, and GPU performance scaling—into actionable strategies and competitive differentiators.

Qualifications:
