[]Come join us for lunch, and this important talk - IN-PERSON ONLY Co-packaged optics (CPO) are heterogeneous integration packaging methods to integrate the optical engine (OE) which consists of photonic ICs (PIC) such as the photodiode laser, etc. and the electrical engine (EE) which consists of the electronic ICs (EIC) such as the laser driver, transimpedance amplifier, etc. as well as the switch ASIC (application specific IC). The advantages of CPO are: (a) to reduce the length of the electrical interface between the OE/EE (or PIC/EIC) and the ASIC, (b) to reduce the energy required to drive the signal, and (c) to cut the latency which leads to better electrical performance. In the next few years, we will see more implementations of a higher level of heterogeneous integration of switch, PIC and EIC, whether it is for performance, form factor, power consumption or cost.

[] Designing Your Early Career: LinkedIn, Resume & Interview Strategy That Works Breaking into today’s competitive job market requires more than technical excellence. It requires clarity, positioning, and the ability to communicate your value with confidence. In this practical and engaging session, career strategist Shima Ghaheri shares how hiring managers actually evaluate candidates — and how students and early-career professionals can strategically present their academic work, projects, internships, and experiences to stand out. Participants will learn how to: - Build a LinkedIn profile that signals clarity and direction - Structure resumes around measurable impact rather than task lists - Approach interviews with preparation and strategic storytelling - Translate technical competence into compelling professional narratives Designed specifically for college students and entry-level professionals, this session offers actionable tools to move from being “qualified on paper” to being selected with confidence. By making hiring systems more transparent, the session aims to reduce opportunity gaps and empower participants to compete through preparation, clarity, and strategy. Whether you are preparing for internships, full-time roles, or your next career move, this session will equip you with frameworks you can implement immediately.

The San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the IEEE Computer Society invites to our free and open Virtual Tech Talks (no IEEE membership required): Eventpage: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/transforming-enterprise-quality-engineering-practices-tickets-1985250279026?aff=oddtdtcreator Speaker: Jyotheeswara Reddy Gottam ((https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.linkedin.com/in/gjreddy/&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1774063921225418&usg=AOvVaw3p1OTEbWpnyMYwpkfkEjs-)) Title: The Triple Threat: Transforming enterprise quality engineering practices with Generative AI, Predictive Analytics, and Self-Healing Automation Abstract: Modern software teams face mounting pressure to release high-quality applications faster while managing increasing system complexity and continuous delivery expectations within modern CI/CD pipelines. Traditional testing approaches often struggle to keep pace with rapid code changes, expanding regression suites, and the rising cost of maintaining automation frameworks. These challenges frequently lead to delayed releases, increased testing costs, and defects escaping into production. This presentation explores how the “Triple Threat” of AI-driven testing technologies—generative AI for test script creation, machine learning–based predictive defect analytics, and self-healing automation frameworks—is transforming enterprise quality engineering practices. First, generative AI accelerates test development by automatically generating test cases, scripts, and data from requirements, user stories, or code changes, significantly reducing manual scripting effort. Second, predictive defect analytics powered by machine learning analyzes historical defect patterns, code churn, and previous test outcomes to identify high-risk components and prioritize testing efforts where failures are most likely to occur. Third, self-healing automation frameworks intelligently adapt to UI or API changes, minimizing brittle test failures and reducing the costly maintenance typically associated with large automated test suites. When deployed together, these technologies reinforce one another: generative AI expands test coverage, predictive analytics focuses testing on the most critical risk areas, and self-healing automation ensures test suites remain resilient despite frequent application updates. Applied across API testing, functional testing, integration testing, and end-to-end testing, this integrated approach enables organizations to modernize their testing strategy while improving reliability. The combined impact allows enterprises to reduce testing costs by up to 40%, accelerate release cycles by 30%, and improve defect detection rates by over 50%, demonstrating how AI-driven testing can deliver measurable improvements in both quality and delivery speed across enterprise software systems.

Chiplet and disaggregated architectures are rapidly becoming mainstream across applications from edge to server. Yet the resulting design complexity exceeds the capabilities of today’s tools, flows, and methodologies—particularly when aiming for highly optimized solutions at scale. Augmented Intelligence, the combination of human expertise and machine intelligence, offers a transformative approach to this challenge. By assigning strategic, high-level decision-making to engineers and delegating computationally intensive, iterative tasks to AI, this framework enables multi-level and multi-domain optimization. The result is the ability to generate a far greater number of custom-optimized designs with the same resources—delivering competitive products with higher quality and faster time-to-market. At Intel, in collaboration with partners, we have developed and deployed Augmented Intelligence solutions spanning silicon to system design and hardware to software design. These efforts have demonstrated efficiency gains exceeding 90% in critical areas. In this talk, I will share practical examples and key insights from several years of applying Augmented Intelligence to end-to-end design, highlighting how human–AI collaboration is reshaping the path to innovation. There will not be any recording. Please attend in person.
