Telecommuting permitted: work may be performed within normal commuting distance from the Red Hat, LLC office in Boston, MA.
Manage end-to-end execution of hardware accelerator virtualization projects on Red Hat OpenStack and OpenShift, ensuring GPU enablement, resource scheduling, and delivery of Compute/Cyborg components stay within scope, schedule, and allocated budget. Confer with engineering, quality, and hardware partner teams to identify and resolve technical blockers in kernel‑level driver alignment, secure boot compliance, and upgrade compatibility across OpenShift hardware enablement components (KMM, NFD, DTK).
עיקרי התפקיד
Monitor and track milestones for AI/ML workload optimization on virtualized environments, including GPU passthrough, partitioning, and performance tuning across Nova, KVM/libvirt, and Kubernetes layers.
Assess customer and market requirements for hardware accelerators (GPUs, FPGAs) in AI/ML and HPC workloads, translating them into roadmap priorities for OpenShift and OpenStack virtualization platforms.
Develop and update project plans for OpenShift hardware enablement, defining technical objectives, system specifications (e.g., KMM, NFD), schedules, and cross‑functional staffing needs with RHEL, OpenStack, and hardware partners.
Prepare status reports on emerging hardware trends (GPU architectures, AI frameworks) and summarize progress on virtualization architecture requirements to inform platform strategy.
Establish and execute a communication plan to align cross‑departmental teams (RHEL, OpenShift, OpenStack) and external hardware vendors, ensuring transparency on accelerator roadmap execution and AI/ML workload support.
Submit production‑grade accelerator features (e.g., GPU support, resource scheduling) after validating scalability and security with engineering teams, ensuring compliance with enterprise infrastructure standards.
Direct the activities of engineering and quality personnel responsible for validating scalable, secure accelerator features, ensuring alignment with cloud‑native platform evolution.
Perform risk assessments on accelerator integration (e.g., driver compatibility, kernel‑level changes) and develop mitigation strategies for lifecycle management, upgrades, and secure boot compliance.
Develop a WBS for the delivery of Red Hat OpenStack Platform Compute and Cyborg components, breaking down tasks for GPU enablement, resource scheduling, and integration validation.
Negotiate with hardware partners (GPU vendors, FPGA suppliers) to obtain early access to accelerators and define joint roadmap commitments for AI/ML workload optimization.
