Intel is seeking an experienced Supercomputing Power Integrity Architect to contribute to the development of next-generation System and Platform architectures for HPC and AI applications.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a team of pathfinding system and platform architects tackling innovative architectures and technologies in pursuit of zettascale computing. This project is very aspirational - a grand challenge that is unifying research agencies, academia, and industry in pursuit of converging HPC, data analytics, and AI.

Responsibilities Include:

• Performing early simulations during pathfinding/feasibility study of platform definition phase.

• Performing comprehensive simulations (DC/AC/Transient) during platform development phase.

• Influencing the shaping of future Intel products by significantly contributing to the architecture used across multiple design families.

• Understanding features from existing documentation and discussions with technical leaders across all aspects of system hardware and software.

• Solid understanding of power and thermo-mechanical technologies at the board level.

• Partnering with engineering and validation teams to enable developing and delivering board designs for these platforms.

• Providing written technical presentations with simulation findings and corresponding design recommendations.

The Ideal Candidate Should Exhibit the Following Behavioral Attributes:

• An innovative mindset to support architectural ideas, providing power integrity modeling and simulation from incubation, execution, to completion.

• Excellent analytical, organizational and communication skills for preparing data, giving presentations and/or providing written reports to large groups or customers.

• Motivated, self-directed, and capable to work effectively both independently and as part of a globally distributed team.

• Solid interpersonal and influencing capabilities.

Qualifications

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

This position is not eligible for Intel immigration sponsorship.

Minimum Education and Experience:
