We are seeking a highly skilled and motivatedSystems Engineerwith a niche focus onnetwork interconnectswithinblade and rack-level systems. This role is pivotal in designing, analyzing, and optimizing the physical and logical interconnection of compute, storage, and accelerator components in high-performance systems! The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in networking standards, topologies, and technologies used in datacenters, HPC systems, and cloud-scale infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
Architecture and Design:
- Define and architectrack-level network topologies(e.g., 200/400/800G Ethernet, Smart NICs, Network Security, etc.) for scalable system designs.
- Collaborate with hardware and software engineering teams to designnetwork interconnect solutionsaligned with performance, power, and cost goals within the rack.
- Evaluate and select network fabrics (e.g., Ethernet, InfiniBand, CXL, PCIe) based on system requirements.
- Extensive knowledge on specifying, designing Scale-Up and Scale-Out Network Topologies.
Performance and Simulation:
- Model and simulate network performance across rack-level systems.
- Perform bottleneck analysis and propose optimizations for bandwidth, latency, and reliability.
Integration and Validation:
- Collaborate with platform and board teams to ensure seamless integration of interconnects at the physical and logical levels.
- Define test plans and support bring-up and validation of networking subsystems.
- You'll work with Industry Network vendors to ensure solutions meet the technical requirements and features required for AI/ML systems.
Standards and Compliance:
- Maintain awareness of evolving standards (e.g., IEEE 802.3, OCP NIC, OSFP, QSFP-DD) and contribute to the development of internal guidelines.
- Ensure systems meet regulatory and industry compliance for networking hardware.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Partner with software, firmware, and datacenter infrastructure teams to ensure end-to-end functionality and compatibility.
- Work with vendors and technology partners for roadmap alignment and issue resolution.
- Work closely with ODM partners to ensure integration and test requirements are developed and ensure proper validation coverage.
