We are looking for a visionary Senior System Architect to lead the charge in defining how we move data at speeds the world has never seen. We want to bridge the gap between silicon and the rack, ensuring our NVLink and InfiniBand fabrics remain the gold standard for performance. This is a chance to join a team where we don't just follow industry standards-we set them!

You will work at the intersection of Signal Integrity (SI), Mechanical Engineering, and System Protocol design to ensure that our NVLink and InfiniBand/Ethernet fabrics scale to terabit-per-second speeds with industry-leading power efficiency and reliability.

What Youll Be Doing:

Architectural Definition: Lead the end-to-end definition of high-speed interconnect systems for next-gen AI platforms (e.g., Rubin and beyond), focusing on 224G/448G PAM4 lanes and beyond.

Technology Roadmap: Evaluate and select pioneering technologies such as Co-Packaged Optics (CPO), Silicon Photonics, and advanced OSFP/QSFP-DD form factors.

System Co-Design: Collaborate with ASIC, Thermal, and PCB teams to optimize the "Silicon-to-Connector" path, minimizing insertion loss and improving signal integrity.

Standardization Leadership: Represent us in industry standards bodies (e.g., IEEE 802.3, OCP, MSA) to influence the future of high-speed connector and cable specifications.

Vendor Ecosystem: Work with world-class connector and cable vendors to drive custom mechanical and electrical designs that meet our unique performance requirements.

Performance Modeling: Conduct trade-off analyses between reach, power, latency, and cost for various interconnect media (Copper vs. Optical).

as a quality and reliability (q&r) engineer, you will lead the qualification and long-term reliability of advanced system -on-chip ( SOC ) and RF semiconductor products for automotive applications. youll work across digital and RF domains to ensure robust performance and compliance with industry standards.
what will your job look like:
define and manage quality and reliability specifications, simulations, and qualification plans for SOC and RF die and package.
plan and execute automotive-grade qualifications per standards such as aec-q100, jedec jesd22, and iatf 16949.
design and implement die-level and package-level stress tests.
select and prepare electrical, environmental, and mechanical TEST platforms for reliability testing.
define requirements for pre-si q&r (e.g. esd, lu, em, ir drop), design-for- TEST (dft), electrical characterization, and post-si q&r testing of digital, mixed-signal and RF socs.
collaborate extensively with internal design teams, external subcontractors, and outsourcing partners (osats).
lead failure analysis, reliability modeling, and corrective action processes (e.g., 8d, fmea, fmeda).
document and certify automotive standards compliance, including ppap/apqp deliverables.
