Senior Optical Dc Engineer

Oracle Oracle · Enterprise · Austin, TX +1

This role supports the design, deployment, and operations of large-scale global Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), focusing on high-speed fiber optic network fabric links and systems for RDMA cluster networks. It involves understanding optical cables and transceivers, troubleshooting, and automation for AI/ML and HPC workloads at the physical and protocol layers.

What you'd actually do

  1. Provide break-fix support for optical links to meet RDMA cluster performance criteria (pre-FEC BER, Rx power, FEC bin, BOL and EOL margins etc.).
  2. Frequently develops MPOs or scripts to automate routine tasks for team and business units to improve quality of builds.
  3. Support dashboards build with requirements to represent data at L1 layers and device roles that help identify link level issues, anomalies such as link flaps and link downs.
