Solutions Architect, Data Center Buildouts - NVIS at Nvidia

This role is a Solution Architect focused on physical data center infrastructure (power, cooling, cabling, controls) rather than software architecture or IT systems analysis — it sits awkwardly in the SOC taxonomy. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the best available fit; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest runner-up given the design-review and advisory nature of the work.

The posting lists two salary bands: Level 5 ($224,000–$356,500) and Level 6 ($272,000–$431,250). The min and max above span both bands combined. The two-level structure suggests this posting may be filled at either a Senior or Staff level depending on the candidate.

Location is listed as 'US, TX, Remote' — the role is remote-eligible with Texas as the stated state anchor; CBSA is set to Austin as the primary Texas metro for NVIDIA, but the role is genuinely remote-US.

A Bachelor's degree in Engineering is listed as required, but the JD explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience' as a substitute throughout, so the degree requirement is set to None.

'Hyperscale data center deployment, operations process, safety, and security measures' and 'solid understanding of the whole data center infrastructure stack' appear under the 'Way to stand out from the crowd' section and are treated as preferred.

Skills here are domain capabilities (power distribution, liquid cooling, etc.) rather than named software tools; they are extracted because the JD explicitly gates on them as hard technical knowledge requirements under the main qualifications block.

Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): data center power distribution, data center telemetry and control systems, large-scale data center deployment, hyperscale data center operations.

This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
