Team

The role contributes to advancing optical interconnect technology for AI and data center applications, focusing on high-bandwidth, low-latency solutions integrated into next-generation computing systems.

Your Team, Your Impact

As Generative AI evolves, demand in data centers is shifting from single-chip performance to system-level interconnects, memory bandwidth, and capacity. The Photonic Fabric™ technology enables a tenfold improvement in performance and energy efficiency over existing solutions by leveraging optical interconnects. Offered as optical chiplets, interposers, and Optical Multi-chip Interconnect Bridges (OMIB), it integrates seamlessly with standard 2.5D packaging and supports both protocol and physical layer compatibility. This allows AI accelerators and GPUs to achieve terabit-scale bandwidths with nanosecond latency. The innovation helps large-scale cloud operators reduce total cost of ownership and carbon footprint. An ecosystem of top-tier partners in custom silicon, system integration, memory, and packaging is being developed to support customer adoption.

Interview Integrity

To ensure fair assessment, candidates must not use AI-powered tools such as transcription apps, real-time answer generators (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot), or automated note-taking bots during interviews. These tools are prohibited from recording, assisting with, or enhancing responses in any way. Interviews are designed to evaluate individual experience, problem-solving, and communication skills. Unauthorized use of AI tools will lead to disqualification.
