Job Description

Advisory AI Architect (FDE Unit)

Within the Forward Deployment Engineering (FDE) Unit, the Advisory AI Architect is a hands-on technical leader who designs and builds AI and GenAI solutions with customers. You will own key parts of the AI software stack, drive rapid proof-of-value sprints, and help move AI workloads toward stable production on Dell infrastructure, balancing speed, reliability, security, and responsible AI practices. You focus on fit-for-purpose architectures and enablement so customers can operate and extend their AI solutions after FDE Units disengage.

Join us to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact as an Advisory AI Architect on our Forward Deployment Engineering (FDE) Team in Remote - New England.

What You’ll Achieve

• Design scalable AI architectures for customer use cases in line with enterprise and security standards
• Lead implementation of AI software components such as model serving, orchestration, retrieval, and integrations
• Run time-bound proofs of value to demonstrate business outcomes quickly and clearly
• Help migrate AI workloads between cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments on Dell infrastructure
• Enable customer engineers and platform teams to support and extend solutions after handover

You Will:

• Design, configure, and implement AI solution stacks, including model serving, orchestration, retrieval pipelines, vector stores, and related components
• Select practical tools and patterns to avoid tooling sprawl and deliver working prototypes and PoVs tied to clear success measures
• Lead PoV sprints (typically a few weeks): refine scope, build and iterate on solutions, and present outcomes and recommendations to stakeholders
• Plan and execute cloud-to-on-prem and hybrid migration patterns for AI workloads onto Dell infrastructure, optimizing performance, reliability, and security
• Take shared responsibility for production readiness and early production stability, including monitoring, performance optimization, and issue triage
• Work closely with AI Data Specialists to define and consume AI-ready data pipelines that support performance and reliability
• Collaborate with AI Strategists and Enterprise Architects to align technical scope with business outcomes and target-state architectures
• Provide documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer to customer teams, and contribute to Dell AI Factory reference architectures and playbooks
• Mentor other technical team members on AI architecture patterns, Dell AI infrastructure capabilities, and responsible AI practices
