Full Job Description
NVIDIA is now looking for a hardworking student to join our Advanced Research Group**.** Low-power interconnects are crucial for data centers and AI factories. The integration of (PICs) with electronic integrated circuits (EICs)—known as **Co-Packaged Optics (CPO)** —has become essential for achieving this goal. Today, CPO technologies are deployed at the networking level (_scale-out_), and they hold great potential to transform chip-to-chip communication (_scale-up_). A key enabler for this vision is the development of new laser sources, such as **optical frequency comb lasers** , which can generate multiple wavelengths for DWDM links. At NVIDIA’s **Advanced Research Group** , we are developing, designing, and characterizing comb lasers to make this technology a reality. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research with real impact on the future of AI infrastructure and data-center interconnects. **What you’ll be doing:** * Measure and characterize discrete and integrated comb together with silicon photonic (Siph) devices in both electrical and optical domains in a state-of-the-art optical high-speed lab. * Design and execution of new experiments, lab automation and data analysis. * During your work, you will participate in the process of bringing up a new technology from the R&D stage, to the Engineering and production, this is an opportunity for close collaborations with both Nvidia researchers and Engineering teams taking our products and implementing them into the final products. * You will be working with a highly skilled group of engineers and physicist proficient in the multi-disciplinary field of silicon photonics. **What we need to see:** * Students at the beginning of their M.Sc./PhD in Electrical Engineering or Physics with experience in optics. * Matlab or Python proficiency and willingness to work in any needed programming language * Creativity in finding solutions to tough problems. * Interest to work in lab environ
