Solution Architect

Responsibilities

• Act as a trusted technical advisor to Hyperscalers, NEMs, manufacturers of optical transceivers and copper cables, and silicon vendors on high-speed interconnect validation strategies and error performance measurement.
• Arcitect and deliver functional, performance, and interoperability interconnect error performance validation solutions using advanced traffic generation software and network test hardware platforms, including proof-of-concepts and interconnect error performance benchmarking.
• Design, develop and conduct use cases to measure interconnects for technical customer product demonstrations, industry interoperability events, and hot stages for tradeshow and industry / MSA plugfests.
• Actively participate in industry organization meetings and Keysight internal meetings where Keysight plans to attend hot stages, tradeshows, and industry plugfests.
• Actively participate in industry organizations such as the Ethernet Alliance, OIF, and industry MSAs as assigned.
• Build end execute automated interconnect test suites using Keysight software and hardware platforms.
• Develop and deliver product and technical training to Keysight pre-sales engineers in the form of audio and video presentations and written documents such as application notes.
• Partner closely with Product Management and R&D to translate customer interconnect test requirements into roadmap priorities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Network Communications, Computer Data Sciences, or a related field.
• Experience in working with the product development and test of network equipment (i.e. working with NEMs), AI data center operators, hyperscale networking environments, and pre-deployment testing of interconnects and networking equipment used in in high-speed Ethernet (800GE and higher speeds).
• Familiar with IEEE 802.3, OIF electrical specifications, and critical interconnect MSA specifications as they relate to high-speed interconnects.
• Deep knowledge of the actual qualification of optical transceivers, and active and passive copper cables.
• Direct working knowledge of CMIS (Common Management Interface Specification).
• Experience with network equipment interoperability testing, and equipment benchmarking.
• 5+ years of experience in network test/validation roles.
• Hands-on experience with network traffic generators and validation/test tools.
• Experience in network automation (SCPI, Python, REST API, Tcl).
• Develop automated test cases, execute test cases, and analyze test results.
• Excellent customer-facing oral and written communication and presentation skills.
• Must be able to conduct hands-on demonstrations of hardware and software products for interconnect and network equipment tests.
• Self-driven, curious, and motivated to continuously learn emerging high-speed Ethernet (i.e., 800GE and higher), and new transceiver and cable technologies.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Keysight physical layer test (Layer 0 and 1) instruments such as BERTs, DCAs, real-time Oscilloscopes and related instruments in the field.
• Experience with layer 2/3 Ethernet traffic generators and analyzers.
