Job Description

High speed I/O is critical and central to Intel's product success in the market place. This position provides an opportunity to work on exciting and challenging next generation technology as a member of the I/O Technology and Standards IOTS group located in Hudson Massachusetts.

Our charter is focused on I/O and interconnect pathfinding and standards/specification development.

In this position, you would be part of a team developing specifications and standards and performing circuit and channel pathfinding work for high speed links such as PCI Express, Ultra Path Interconnect, and other high speed I/O's used in Intel microprocessors and chipsets.

Projects will include working on modeling and characterization of serial links that include passive channels and active PHY analog circuit blocks.

You would also perform correlation analysis with circuit simulations, test results, channel characterization and de-embedding using signal integrity tools and methods.

This role provides many opportunities to work with circuit designers, package and platform designers, signal integrity engineers, validation engineers, and software and hardware architects across many divisions of Intel.

In this position the engineer conducts or participates in multidisciplinary research in the design, development, testing and utilization of information processing hardware and/or electrical components, mechanisms, materials, and/or circuitry, processes, packaging, and cabinetry for central processing units CPUs and/or peripheral equipment.

Also prepares specifications, evaluates vendors, and analyzes test reports. Ensures products conform to standards and specifications. Develops plans and cost estimates and assesses projects to analyze risk.

Develops procedures, analysis and design for computer components, products, and systems. Initiates, guides, and coordinates overall design and development of new ideas and products. Responds to customer/client requests or events as they occur.

Develops solutions to problems utilizing formal education and judgement.

Inside this Business Group

The Data Center Group (DCG) is at the heart of Intel's transformation from a PC company to a company that runs the cloud and billions of smart, connected computing devices. The data center is the underpinning for every data-driven service, from artificial intelligence to 5G to high-performance computing, and DCG delivers the products and technologies—spanning software, processors, storage, I/O, and networking solutions—that fuel cloud, communications, enterprise, and government data centers around the world.
