Architect ultra-low-latency, lossless Ethernet fabrics supporting tens of thousands of GPUs for AI training and inference.
Own the end-to-end SONiC platform architecture and fabric strategy, spanning control plane, management plane, data-plane integration, and operations at scale.
Define multi-generation fabric and platform strategy across switch ASICs, NICs, SerDes capabilities, cabling, and system constraints, aligned to power, performance, and deployment realities.
Own link-level and physical-layer requirements as they impact SONiC performance, including high-speed PAM4 signaling (112G/224G), error handling, and hardware/software interaction.
Align SONiC architectures with next-generation GPU, NIC, and switch platforms, ensuring optimal performance across hardware and software boundaries.
Define SONiC capabilities for AI and HPC workloads, including lossless Ethernet and RoCE, congestion management, QoS, and ECN.
Drive scale, performance, and resiliency targets for SONiC-based fabrics.
Define and enforce system-level validation criteria, including scale testing, fault injection, performance benchmarking, and upgrade scenarios.
Drive telemetry, observability, and proactive reliability across SONiC and underlying hardware.
Lead cross-layer performance analysis and root-cause investigations spanning SONiC software, ASIC pipelines, SerDes behavior, power, and thermal interactions.
Partner with ASIC vendors, system vendors, and internal platform teams to influence roadmaps and ensure SONiC readiness and scalability.
Serve as a technical authority and cross-functional leader, translating architectural intent into clear product requirements and multi-generation roadmaps.
