NVIDIA Solutions Architect (P&U)

Base Salary Range

$129,000 – $203,000

Job Profile Summary

The Enterprise Solution Architect - Power & Utilities designs, develops, and implements cutting-edge technology solutions leveraging NVIDIA's hardware and software ecosystem, cloud-native and hybrid architectures to transform the Power & Utilities sector spanning generation, transmission, distribution, and grid modernization.

Working in close partnership with the Industry Solution Leader, this role translates complex grid and energy challenges into scalable, high-performance architectural solutions. The ideal candidate brings expertise across the NVIDIA stack, major cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP), and a strong working knowledge of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT), and the broader digital grid ecosystem.

Duties & Responsibilities

Solution Design and Architecture

• Architect and deliver end-to-end enterprise solutions tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities in the Power & Utilities sector, including generation optimization, transmission and distribution automation, grid modernization, and energy transition use cases
• Leverage the full spectrum of NVIDIA's technologies to develop scalable, high-performance solutions in close collaboration with Big Data, AI/ML, Digital Twins and Simulation, Robotics, Edge Computing/IoT, and XR specialists
• Architect solutions that integrate operational technology (OT) systems with cloud-based AI services from major hyperscalers (Azure, AWS, GCP), addressing scalability, security, real-time performance, and regulatory compliance
• Create and maintain architectural artifacts, including solution design documents, reference architectures, integration diagrams, and executive-ready presentations
• Define solution roadmaps that account for short-term pilot delivery and long-term enterprise scalability across the value chain
• Incorporate relevant open source frameworks, simulation environments, and specialized engineering tools (e.g., real-time power system simulation, geospatial asset intelligence platforms) into solution blueprints where appropriate

Client Engagement and Advisory

• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to utility clients, providing expert guidance on AI/ML architecture, digital twin strategies, edge computing, and NVIDIA-powered infrastructure relevant to grid modernization
• Identify and articulate clients' technical requirements, integration constraints, data infrastructure maturity, and OT/IT convergence challenges
• Lead architectural deep-dives and technical workshops with senior client stakeholders — translating complex system concepts (e.g., physics-informed AI for grid simulation, hardware-accelerated load forecasting) into business-relevant terms
• Build and maintain strong relationships with client architects, operations leaders, and technology decision-makers
• Serve as a subject matter expert for hardware-accelerated computing, digital twins and simulation, robotics and automation, generative and agentic AI, edge AI/ML within power and utilities environments

Collaboration and Delivery

• Collaborate with sales and business development teams to develop compelling technical strategies for complex energy solutions
• Participate in pre-sales activities, including RFPs/RFIs, technical demonstrations, and proof-of-concept scoping
• Design and deliver proof-of-concept (PoC) solutions and guide full-scale implementations, ensuring performance, reliability, and scalability within utility operational environments
• Work closely with delivery teams to provide architectural guidance throughout the project lifecycle — from design through commissioning and operations
• Coordinate with other architects, engineers, and domain specialists to ensure solution alignment across AI, simulation, IT/OT integration, and cloud infrastructure layers
• Mentor and coach solution and technical architects within the broader SoftServe technology organization on energy-specific patterns and NVIDIA platform capabilities

Technology Leadership and Innovation

• Stay ahead of emerging technology trends in AI for energy, grid-edge computing, physics-based digital twins, and autonomous grid operations — and propose innovative NVIDIA-powered solutions to address them
• Evaluate and recommend new technologies, tools, and methodologies to improve solution effectiveness across the value chain
• Drive innovation by identifying opportunities where NVIDIA's accelerated computing stack delivers competitive differentiation
• Contribute to the development of reusable solution patterns, reference architectures, and industry-specific accelerators to scale delivery across SoftServe's energy practice

Preferred Competencies & Experience

• 10+ years in IT/OT architecture with a focus on enterprise solution architecture, ideally within energy, utilities, or industrial sectors
• Deep knowledge of P&U industry dynamics: grid operations and planning, asset management, reliability engineering, DER integration, load forecasting, and energy transition
• Proven track record delivering complex enterprise solutions using AI/ML, digital twins, simulation, robotics, and computer vision in power grid or industrial environments
• Broad knowledge of the NVIDIA ecosystem and hands-on experience with NVIDIA hardware and software frameworks
• Working knowledge of utility OT/IT systems: EMS, SCADA, ADMS, OMS, DERMS, and GIS platforms, and relevant IEC interoperability standards
• Expertise in enterprise cloud architecture, cloud-native applications, containers (Kubernetes, Docker), and hybrid OT/cloud deployments on Azure, AWS, and/or GCP
• Experience with data architecture, real-time data pipelines, MLOps, and AgentOps in operational energy environments
• Expertise in security, identity management, compliance, and governance in hybrid IT/OT environments
• Strong communication skills across both technical and executive audiences; experience in pre-sales, proposal development, and RFP responses

Required Skills

• Hands-on experience with NVIDIA and software frameworks is highly valued
• Extensive experience with cloud computing platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) with specific emphasis on architectures suited to utility-scale data volumes, real-time telemetry, and OT integration
• Proficiency in microservices architecture, event-driven architecture, and domain-driven design with an understanding of how these apply in hybrid OT/IT environments
• Familiarity with industry-standard grid simulation, power systems analysis, and engineering toolchains, both open-source and commercially established, and how they integrate with NVIDIA-accelerated compute environments
• Expertise in security, identity management, compliance, and governance in hybrid IT/OT environments

Supervisory Responsibilities

• No direct reports. Provides technical mentorship and architectural guidance to SoftServe architects and technical leads engaged on Power & Utilities projects

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Energy Systems, or a closely related field

Relevant certifications are highly desirable, including:

• NVIDIA certifications
• Cloud platform certifications
• TOGAF or equivalent enterprise architecture certification
• Industry-relevant credentials in power systems or utility operations are a differentiating asset

Other Requirements

• Ability to travel 30%+
• Remote work with a home office
