System Architect

Job Description

Description

We are looking to hire a Systems Architect for a role in our Cambridge office: collaborating with one of our key customers on the design of a new composable SmartNIC architecture which enables significant processing efficiency increases for endpoint devices through the use of application specific wire-speed hardware processing pipelines composed from hardware accelerators with application specific processors which deliver optimal per-bit processing efficiency and the removal of redundant data-movement allowing data-plane performance to scale to Terabit speeds.

Responsibilities

• Manage the relationship with our customer’s architecture team. Engaging meaningfully and credibly in detailed technical discussions. Distilling these discussions into a clear set of requirements.
• Collaborating with our engineering and architecture groups to track and discuss any issues raised and communicate the feedback to the customer.
