Role Posting Log in to save

As a Data Center System Interconnect Engineer, you will join the team responsible for developing high-speed connectors, cables, and sockets that form the backbone of server and rack-scale architectures. You will own the end-to-end development of interconnect components, architecting solutions for multi-node systems and high-density racks while influencing platform-level design decisions. Your daily work involves performing signal integrity analysis, mechanical reliability testing, and managing multi-supplier programs to ensure manufacturing readiness. The role requires expertise in optical connectors, mechanical tolerance analysis using RSS or Monte Carlo methods, and failure analysis of solder joints and separable interfaces. You will utilize tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, LabVIEW, MATLAB, and JMP. This position addresses the technical challenges of creating scalable, reliable, and cost-optimized interconnect solutions for next-generation AI and high-performance computing systems.
