Intel은 차세대 데이터 센터를 위한 광학 서브시스템 아키텍트를 채용합니다. 광학 포토닉스 및 서브시스템 아키텍처 설계 분야에서 12년 이상의 경력이 필수입니다. 주요 업무는 광학 계층 구조 설계, 성능 최적화, 프로토콜 분석 및 기술 리더십 제공입니다. CXL, PCIe 및 성능 모델링 도구 활용 능력이 요구됩니다.
The Principal Optical Sub-System Architect will help drive the revolution to photonic interconnect for high performance data centers. The exceptional candidate will understand and help optimize Optical systems bridging between optical capabilities and data center needs. Bandwidth, power, latency, cost trade-offs for optical vs electrical system design including understanding optical packaging, optical thermal issues, connectors, fiber assembly techniques, rack considerations (bend radius), back-plane, front-plane access concerns, manageability and training techniques. Knowledge of LPO vs DWDM and CWDM trade-offs is critical. Candidate should be able to translate customer requirements (latency, power, footprint and BW) to product requirements and system design. As the future is driving toward co-packaged optics, the candidate should have experience and understanding of how co-packaged optics will contribute to the future data center while intersecting with traditional electrical systems and switching networks. Understanding photonic standards as well as networking standards.
Key Responsibilities:
