Senior Cloud Network Engineer – Optical Systems - Romsey, United Kingdom - Microsoft
Description
Overview
The transmission of digital data through optical fiber underpins modern society, supporting the global communications network, cloud services, right through to the latest advances in AI.
Microsoft Azure is pioneering the development of a radically new form of optical fiber, hollow core optical fiber, in which the data is transmitted in an air rather than glass core.
As a result, many of the data transmission speed and data carrying capacity limits of current fiber technology can be overcome - promising a route to future optical networks, data centres and high-performance computers of unprecedented performance and functionality that will serve to help build the future digital world.
As a Cloud Network Engineer within the Azure Fiber Systems Group , you will be working to determine and demonstrate the full benefits of Hollow Core Fiber technology across Microsoft's business. You will be part of a highly interdisciplinary team working in conjunction with internal R&D, product and cloud engineering teams, external technology suppliers and network installers. This role involves hands-on work in our state-of-the-art Romsey systems test bed facility to understand data transmission limits over networks of different scale and the factors influencing system stability.
Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
