Software Engineer -- Linux Developer
Lightfleet, a member of the Open Source Alliance, is an emerging Pre-IPO growth company that has invented the world's first free-space broadcast optical interconnect. Simply put, Lightfleet has created a new way for computers to communicate using light instead of wires. Lightfleet's CorowaveTM technology streamlines computer-to-computer communication by empowering computers to directly talk to each other over short distances through the air with broadcast light.
Why is this important?
The biggest technology revolution in the way we work, learn, play, and interact with the world has just begun. The growing tidal wave of demand for digital data is unprecedented and will continue to grow geometrically in size for many years to come.
These highly dense computer installations produce a lot of heat that also must be removed and this can quickly more than double the total electrical power consumed. As a veteran of the high tech industry, you may know the growing concern over the cost of electricity and that this cost can exceed the purchase price of the computer hardware it supplies.
Lightfleet's breakthrough technology allows our first product, an innovative form factor server, to be 1/3 the size and use 1/3 the electricity of any comparable product . . . while also being significantly faster by unleashing the true potential of parallel computing.
