Network Coordinator Jobs in Oregon

Job Details

About The Role

The CEG NAG (Networking Architecture Group) is Intel's premier team focused on defining the future of high-performance networking silicon. Our team architects next-generation networking solutions that enable hyperscale data centers, cloud infrastructure, and AI workloads to achieve unprecedented performance and efficiency. We specialize in IPU/DPU platforms, advanced packet processing architectures, and programmable networking technologies that form the backbone of modern distributed computing systems. We are seeking a Senior SoC Network Subsystem Architect to define and lead the architecture of high-performance network subsystems for next-generation IPU/DPU platforms. This role focuses on designing scalable, programmable networking pipelines that support hyperscale and cloud data center workloads. You will drive the end-to-end Network Subsystem (NSS) architecture, including packet processing pipelines, protocol engines, QoS frameworks, and observability features. This is a highly cross-functional leadership role requiring deep technical expertise and strong collaboration across hardware, software, and systems teams.

What You’ll Do

Key responsibilities will include but not limited to:

Network Subsystem Architecture Definition:

- Own end-to-end NSS architecture, including packet processing pipelines, protocol engines, and interface datapaths
- Architect high-performance packet pipelines supporting hundreds of millions of packets/sec throughput and processing flows
- Drive architectural direction for programmable vs. fixed-function pipeline balance and future extensibility
- Specify network subsystem pipeline scaling strategies and define multi-generation NSS architecture roadmap
- Lead design decisions for pipeline partitioning, feature scalability, and backward compatibility

QoS, Scheduling, and Flow Management:

- Architect advanced scheduling frameworks (per-flow shaping, multi-level scheduling, traffic class isolation)
- Define QoS models to support multi-tenant workloads, virtualization, and service chaining

Debug, Telemetry, and Observability:

- Define architecture for telemetry, performance counters, and real-time observability of pipeline behavior
- Architecture support for field debug, failure triage, and large-scale deployment monitoring

Cross-Functional Leadership:

- Collaborate across SoC, compute, memory, SW/FW, validation, and customer teams to drive architecture closure
- Interface with external customers to translate workload requirements into NSS architecture decisions
- Lead architectural reviews and influence cross-team technical direction

Behavioral Traits That We Are Looking For

- Strategic thinker: Ability to define long-term architecture vision and align stakeholders
- Technical leadership: Influences across teams without direct authority
- Problem solver: Approaches complex system challenges with structured thinking
- Collaboration: Builds strong partnerships across engineering disciplines
- Customer-focused mindset: Translates real-world workload needs into solutions
- Adaptability: Navigates ambiguity and evolving technical requirements
- Ownership mindset: Drives initiatives from concept through execution
