Job Description

Research challenge


The Research Challenge: AI training costs are exploding, largely due to energy and bandwidth inefficiencies in current electrical datacenters.

Our group is developing a novel Optical Circuit Switched (OCS) architecture that drastically reduces power and latency.

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher/Research Engineer with a background in Embedded Systems and Low-Level Programming to design the control logic that powers this new hybrid network.

Your code will directly enable the next generation of energy-efficient AI clusters.

Project scope

  • You will bridge the gap between custom optical hardware and standard AI software stacks.

  • Unlike typical high-level networking roles, this project requires bare-metal intervention, programming the firmware and drivers that decide how and when data moves.
