Google's Platforms Infrastructure Engineering team is hiring a photonic engineer in Sunnyvale to design low-cost, high-speed optical transceivers for data centers and to develop optical systems and architectures that scale TPU and GPU superpods. The work includes evaluating emerging photonic networking technologies and exploring optics that disaggregate and improve the efficiency of future computing systems. The posting asks for a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or physics, six years in a high-speed datacom environment, and five years in digital coherent optical transmission; a PhD is preferred.
