Job description

Join Intel's Networking Solutions Group (NSG) as a Network Systems and Solutions Engineer, helping deliver best-in-class Ethernet and PCIe networking solutions for next-generation AI and HPC infrastructure.

You will collaborate with experienced engineers across hardware, firmware, and software teams to validate and optimize advanced network subsystems built on high-speed PHY IP and 400G technologies and beyond. You will validate physical layer device performance and apply rigorous technical investigation and debug methodologies to root cause and resolve complex issues spanning electrical signaling, PHY operation, and Layer 1-2 networking protocols.

Through your work, you will directly influence product quality and customer success, helping enterprises and hyperscalers deploy reliable, high-performance networking solutions built on Intel technology.

Responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

  • Performing rigorous stress tests to validate FW managed Ethernet and PCIe links
  • Performing root cause analysis to deliver solutions to link issues
  • Characterizing interconnects (copper, optics) and ecosystem link partner devices (switches) for compliance and interoperability
  • Collaborating with product support teams on resolving customer reported issues
  • Collaborating with IP design, silicon integration, and electrical validation teams to meet targeted product requirements

Requirements

  • Strong technical communication skills willing to collaborate across teams and stakeholders., * Bachelor's degree in computer, electrical, systems engineering, or related technical field.
  • 1+ years of experience in the following disciplines:
  • serial link disciplines such as Ethernet / PCIE/USB etc.
  • Foundational analog and digital domain knowledge including voltage, current, impedance, frequency terminology, 8/16/32-bit hexadecimal notation, read/write/modify memory operations.
  • Familiar with Linux OS and scripting languages such as Python or similar
  • Familiar with creating bespoke scripts for automating tasks.

Preferred qualifications, are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates:

  • 2+ years of practical engineering experience in a relevant field
  • Hierarchical HW design interpretation using schematic and layout views and tools experience
  • Knowledge of Ethernet, PCIe, or other high-speed serial communication technologies such DDR, SATA, USB or and associated Standards (example: IEEE Std. 802.3-2022)
  • Microcontroller, FPGA, or programmable device experience
  • Proven success with using technical documents such as datasheets or programmer's manual to control electronic devices
  • Scripting skillset, using Python or similar
  • Direct experience with using test equipment such as oscilloscopes

We are looking for engineers who thrive on solving complex technical challenges, take ownership of customer outcomes, and enjoy collaborating across hardware, software, and system domains. Our team values technical excellence, continuous learning, and a passion for turning difficult problems into practical solutions. If you are excited about influencing next-generation networking technologies and making a direct impact on customer success, we encourage you to apply.
