About the role
Design methodologies to characterize optical performance and reliability Deliver detailed optical interconnect
requirements in the form of RFIs, RFPs and product specifications. Propose and utilize POC / prototyping frameworks for the rigorous evaluation of optical technologies. Engage with optical technology vendors and conduct detailed analysis of competing technologies. Doctorate Degree in Optical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 3+ years of technical engineering experience OR Master's Degree in Optical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 5+ years of technical engineering experience OR Bachelor's Degree in Optical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 7+ years of technical engineering experience OR equivalent experience. Familiarity with datacenter-class optical module technologies such as QSFP/OSFP form factor pluggable modules or emerging Near-Packaged Optics (NPO) or Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) approaches. Experience in architecting optical transceivers for target metrics such as physical dimensions, power (or energy efficiency), bandwidth density, temperature sensitivity, BER and failure rates. Expertise with optical transceiver ingredients such as EIC, PIC, drivers, TIAs, photo-detectors, modulators and lasers. Experience in designing optical modules for density and reliability. A background in computer and systems architecture with exposure to AI or HPC systems with an understanding of scale-up and scale-out
requirements is highly desired. Skilled in partnering and influencing architects, hardware engineers, software leads and executives. Ability to manage through ambiguity, bringing clarity and results orientation to engage and energize collaborators and stakeholders. Verbal and written communication skills, and ability to articulate and engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels. Experience leading and driving complex projects with
