- ODM Leadership: Drive compute and electronics architecture with manufacturing partners (Supermicro, Foxconn, Gigabyte) for full-scale satellite deployments.
- High-Speed Interconnect Architecture: Evaluate and implement high-speed interfaces, including NVLink, SerDes, and optical interconnects/silicon photonics.
