TL;DR · Senior Optical DC Engineer

As a Senior Optical DC Engineer at AI2CNE, you will join the Product Development team as an individual contributor with 6 to 10+ years of experience. Your primary responsibilities include collaborating with various engineering teams to develop and validate optical cabling and transceiver builds for large-scale Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) deployments. You will ensure high-speed fiber optic network fabric links meet RDMA cluster performance criteria, provide break-fix support, and lead root cause analysis for network issues. Additionally, you will automate routine tasks through scripting and contribute to the development of dashboards that monitor link-level data. The role demands expertise in fiber optics, network engineering, and structured cabling design, with a focus on troubleshooting and automation skills. This position is crucial for supporting OCI's global cloud infrastructure, which includes millions of optical links across diverse network environments.

What you'll do

  • Develop and execute DC network builds and changes using existing procedures.
  • Provide break-fix support for optical links to meet RDMA cluster performance criteria.
  • Lead post-event root cause analysis as the escalation point for event remediation.
  • Automate routine tasks with MPOs or scripts to improve build quality and efficiency.
  • Support dashboard development to represent data at L1 layers and identify link issues.

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years of experience in optical DC engineering for large-scale network deployments.
  • Deep understanding of high-speed fiber optic networks and RDMA cluster interconnects.
  • Expertise in troubleshooting and validating optical cabling and transceivers at L0/L1 levels.
  • Strong automation/programming skills to develop scripts and MPOs for routine tasks.
  • Experience with CLOS Network, dedicated backbone infrastructure, and Internet connectivity.
  • Serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) on data center build standards and optical troubleshooting.
