Technical Lead Manager, Infrastructure Hardware (Server and Network Systems)

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. This architecture allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds; over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services. This order of magnitude increase in speed is transforming the user experience of AI applications, unlocking real-time iteration and increasing intelligence via additional agentic computation. Cerebras works with the leading model labs, global enterprises, and cutting-edge AI-native startups. OpenAI recently announced a multi-year partnership with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference. As a Technical Lead Manager, Infrastructure Hardware (Server and Network Systems) on the Cluster Architecture Team, you will provide technical leadership and drive end-to-end execution of server and network platform programs—including new product introductions (NPIs)—across Cerebras CS-3–based AI clusters. You will lead programs from requirements and technical trade-offs through vendor selection, lab bring-up, qualification, and production rollout. You will be the technical execution owner across OEM/ODM partners, component vendors, internal software/runtime teams and architects, validation/QA, and deployment/operations. About This Role This role combines technical leadership with hands-on execution. You must understand server, network, and system-level design deeply enough to lead technical reviews, make and document practical trade-offs, and unblock execution—while partnering closely with Compute, Server Platform, and Network Architects on broader architectural direction. You will also build shared understanding with our rack/elevations and physical datacenter design partners so that server and network changes land smoothly in real deployments, without owning physical datacenter design.
