Job description
Job Details: Job Description: The world is transforming - and so is Intel. Intel is a company of bold and curious inventors and problem solvers who create some of the most astounding technology advancements and experiences in the world. With a legacy of relentless innovation and a commitment to bring smart, connected devices to every person on Earth, our diverse and brilliant teams are continually searching for tomorrow's technology and revel in the challenge that changing the world for the better brings. We work every single day to design and manufacture silicon products that empower people's digital lives. Come join us and do something wonderful. Key Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Architect, design and simulate new system-level and component-level photonics solutions Develop and perform end-to-end system level link simulations with high-speed silicon photonic components. Identify system-level tradeoffs and component performance optimization opportunities Define system specifications driving component development and tradeoffs Work cross-organizationally to validate photonic link and system understanding with experiment, implement system-level solutions, and drive engineering requirements decisions Qualifications: You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Experience listed below would be obtained through a combination of your degree, research and or relevant previous job and or internship experiences. Minimum Qualifications: Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a similar discipline with focus on Silicon Photonics, optical component, module, and transmission system with 6+ years of industry experience listed below OR a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a similar discipline with focus on Silicon Photonics, optical component, module, and transmission system with 4+ years of industry experience listed below. Experience in system link modeling and design methodology and tools for high speed (50GBaud to 200GBaud) optical communication transceivers and CPO/OCI engine products, both experimental/theoretical performance analysis, and optical components and system optimizations. Experience in architecting, designing and defining new systems and components for high-speed silicon photonics commercial optical communication products. Experience with modeling both direct detect higher order modulation format systems, advanced modulation formats, noncoherent and coherent optical systems (ie, modulators, detectors, lasers). Experience with optical/electrical simulation platforms Simulink, Matlab, ADS, Lumerical, HFSS, VPI, etc. Preferred Qualifications: Experience modeling in transmitter, receiver, analog and Serdes interactions, Si and III-V photonic devices, subsystems in high-speed optical communication systems. Experience with co-simulating high-speed electronics with optical components, DSP modeling, coding/decoding techniques, OSNR/BER/FEC error correction, CMOS IC's (driver, TIA's), and advanced modulation formats. Experience in designing high speed optoelectronic and electronic components. Experience in component, carrier, RF package, driver-modulator optimization, high-speed interconnect digital and analog system, DSP and FEC. Exposure in optical system-, subsystem-, and component-level characterization. Exposure to optical packaging concepts 2D, 2.5D, 3D and optical test. Experience in designing high speed optoelectronic and electronic components.
