Wireless-Core and Network Division projects support 5G-Core and Cable (Telco) segments within the Data Center Group. We work directly with external customers and partners in one half of the lab, and internal designers and developers in the other half. We help internal Intel teams doing similar projects. Our projects lead to joint technology demos and proof-of-concepts for customers and trade-shows that combine platforms and software from these multiple sources to show what can be done with our products. This role is to manage/setup the systems and network infrastructure required for local and remote engineering teams to create these projects. We setup clusters of systems that need identical configs to take measurements for marketing collateral.
