Founded in 2017 by veteran semiconductor and AI algorithm engineers, Furiosa operates globally with offices in Korea and Silicon Valley, along with a compiler-focused R&D lab in Lisbon. \nOur vision is to make AI computing sustainable, enabling access to powerful AI for everyone on Earth. We solve the AI hardware energy and operational cost crisis at the architectural level, rather than through brute force, building the world's first truly AI-native compute platform to unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence for every enterprise.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a senior engineer to own the physical interconnect architecture of our rack-scale AI computing systems.\nThis role focuses on the physical implementation of high-speed links within the rack: cables, connectors, backplanes, routing, serviceability, and high-density integration. Network topology and protocol architecture are owned by our architecture and high-speed interface teams, and SI/PI analysis is performed by our SI/PI team. This role owns the physical realization and the technical direction of connector and cable vendors.\nKey Responsibilities\nDefine the physical interconnect architecture for high-density rack systems\nDefine cable, connector, and backplane strategies, and evaluate DAC, AEC, AOC, and emerging interconnect technologies\nDrive trade-offs between near-package copper (NPC/MPC), co-packaged copper (CPC), and co-packaged optics (CPO)\nDefine connector density, reach, routing, and serviceability requirements\nDevelop removable cable and backplane architectures that support field service\nDefine physical channel allocation and routing strategies across trays and switches\nResolve mechanical conflicts among cables, connectors, cooling components, and power distribution\nCoordinate physical interconnect requirements with system, mechanical, thermal, power, and SI/PI teams\nDefine DFM/DFA requirements for cable and connector assembly\nEvaluate interconnect vendors, review their technical proposals, and direct external design partners and CM/ODM teams\nMinimum Qualifications\nExtensive experience with high-speed physical interconnect systems\nStrong understanding of high-speed cables, connectors, backplanes, and physical channel design\nExperience with high-density server, data center, or networking systems\nUnderstanding of signal integrity considerations that drive physical interconnect architecture\nExperience working with connector and cable vendors and external design partners\nExperience taking complex interconnect systems through manufacturing\nExcellent English communication skills\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with 800G or higher-speed systems\nExperience with 200G/lane or next-generation SerDes\nExperience with racks carrying 1,000+ high-speed links\nExperience with OCP rack architecturesExperience with next-generation connector technologies, or near-package and co-packaged interconnect\n\nWhy Join FuriosaAI\nThe defining bottleneck of the AI era is building the right hardware and software stack to run it at global scale. Furiosa is solving this challenge holistically from the ground up.\nWith our flagship chip, RNGD, in mass production today and our next-generation platform in development with Broadcom, we are proving that full-stack, tensor-native compute is the future of AI infrastructure. This is a pivotal moment to join our team, right as we accelerate our global expansion.\nAt Furiosa, you will:\nSolve AI’s Most Urgent Challenge. Help build the high-performance, energy-efficient inference hardware and software required to fulfill the promise of advanced AI.\nPioneer Full-Stack Co-Design. Work with teams that are architecting solutions from silicon up through the compiler (featuring innovations like Tensor Contraction Language and Virtual ISA) and serving frameworks.\nShip Real-World Silicon, Software, and Solutions. Turn breakthrough technology into commercial deployment. RNGD is in mass production with TSMC and running live enterprise workloads for global leaders like LG AI Research and Samsung SDS.\nPartner With the Industry's Best. Collaborate across an elite global ecosystem that includes TSMC, Broadcom, SK Hynix, and GUC.\nDo Your Life’s Best Work. Join a brilliant, low-ego, mission-driven team in a high-trust environment that values autonomy, intellectual curiosity, and shared ambition. \nContact\n ","description_format":"text","description_chars":4473,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-02T09:27:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T12:46:49Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/furiosaai-rack-interconnect-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/furiosaai-rack-interconnect-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T12:46:49Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17384,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":31683},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=31683"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffuriosaai-rack-interconnect-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffuriosaai-rack-interconnect-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffuriosaai-rack-interconnect-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/furiosaai-rack-interconnect-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffuriosaai-rack-interconnect-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3601682}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"furiosa.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3601682},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
