The role, as Western Digital Technologies, Inc. describes it
The Senior Systems Architect is a senior technical leader responsible for the architecture, engineering, standardization, and evolution of enterprise compute and infrastructure platforms. This role requires broad hands-on expertise across enterprise virtualization, Windows and Linux, server infrastructure, automation, containers, and compute integration with storage and networking. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable developing architecture strategy, evaluating new technologies, creating automation, and troubleshooting complex production issues. A primary objective of the role is transforming infrastructure operations from manual administration into standardized, automated, policy-driven platform services. The architect will establish technical standards, lead modernization efforts, reduce operational complexity, and improve reliability, scalability, security, and cost efficiency. The role works closely with Data Center Operations, Storage Architecture, Network Engineering, Security, Cloud Engineering, Application teams, Manufacturing, and technology vendors. Key Responsibilities Infrastructure Architecture & Engineering - Serve as a senior technical authority for enterprise compute, virtualization, Windows, Linux, container, and server infrastructure. - Develop architecture standards and reference designs for scalable, resilient, secure, and supportable infrastructure. - Architect virtualization and compute solutions across platforms such as Hyper-V, VMware, Nutanix AHV/KVM, and emerging technologies. - Define standards for operating system deployment, configuration, lifecycle management, patching, upgrades, security, high availability, disaster recovery, capacity, and performance. - Establish enterprise server hardware standards covering compute, memory, accelerators, firmware, network interfaces, power, cooling, and lifecycle management. - Evaluate new infrastructure technologies through technical assessments, proof-of-concepts, benchmarking, and total-cost-of-ownership analysis. - Lead complex troubleshooting and root-cause analysis across compute, virtualization, operating systems, storage, networking, and application dependencies. - Drive platform modernization, consolidation, migration, technology refresh, and infrastructure lifecycle initiatives. Automation, AI & Platform Engineering - Lead infrastructure automation and platform-engineering strategy across compute and related data center technologies. - Identify repetitive operational activities and replace them with standardized, automated, policy-driven workflows. - Develop automation using technologies such as PowerShell, Python, Ansible, Terraform, APIs, Git, and CI/CD platforms. - Apply Infrastructure as Code and software-engineering practices including source control, reusable modules, peer review, testing, release management, and automated validation. - Automate provisioning, configuration, patching, upgrades, firmware, compliance, vulnerability remediation, monitoring integration, and infrastructure retirement. - Integrate automation with enterprise systems including ITSM, CMDB, observability, security, vulnerability management, and asset management. - Develop self-service and API-driven infrastructure capabilities that reduce manual administrative work. - Evaluate and responsibly apply AI, AI agents, and agentic automation to infrastructure engineering, operations, troubleshooting, documentation, and analysis. Infrastructure Integration - Partner with the Principal Storage Architect to ensure compute and virtualization platforms integrate effectively with enterprise storage. - Define compute-side requirements for storage connectivity, availability, capacity, performance, resiliency, and interoperability. - Own architecture and standards for server and hypervisor networking, including host connectivity, NIC configuration, virtual networking, resiliency, performance, and storage-related network traffic. - Partner with Network Engineeri
