AI Research Engineer/Scientist

Intel•Us, CA

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

Join Intel’s Corporate Technology Office Team to advance data center connectivity and scalable AI system design. The role explores the design of electro-optical systems for research and development, with a focus on application parallelization, parallel system simulation, and hardware/software co-design. Intel is developing co-packaged silicon photonics optical I/O chiplets to support higher-performance, larger-scale, and more power-efficient AI systems. The selected candidate will define architectures and designs for next-generation Intel systems using optical interconnects and advanced electrical networks-on-chip, optimize network-on-chip performance, and develop simulation methodologies for scalable electro-photonic systems. The role also involves cross-functional project leadership, advising on system characterization test plans, and documenting design work. Excellent oral and written communication skills are expected.

Requirements

Ph.D. in Computer Science or Electrical and Computer Engineering.
At least 2 peer-reviewed publications and/or patents in the simulation, design, optimization, and implementation of parallel algorithms and network system simulations.
At least 6 months of experience with the gem5 simulation system.
Excellent oral and written communication skills.

Nice To Haves

Strong proficiency in CPU and GPU parallelization.
Extensive design experience using hardware in high-level programming languages such as C/C++ and Python.
Familiarity with switch fabric architectures and related routing algorithms.
Proven experience building end-to-end simulation frameworks bridging electronics and photonics in an overall system design.

Responsibilities

Define architectures and designs that meet specifications and performance targets for next-generation Intel systems using optical interconnects and advanced electrical networks-on-chip.
Optimize network-on-chip performance.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to lead overall project development.
Develop simulation methodologies for scalable electro-photonic systems.
Advise on the development of test plans for overall system characterization.
Thoroughly document design work with review materials and detailed design descriptions.
