Career Opportunities
Point2 Technology is building the cable interconnect fabric that will power the next decade of AI compute in hyperscale datacenters. We develop ultra‑low‑power, ultra‑low‑latency RF and mixed‑signal SoCs that deliver multi-terabit class performance that leaps the limits of copper and optical interconnects.
Our breakthrough e‑Tube™ RF‑over‑plastic‑waveguide technology is rewriting the rules of data‑center connectivity. It delivers:
- 10× longer reach and 50% thinner than copper cabling at similar cost structures
- 3× lower power, 3× lower cost, and 1000× lower latency, without the reliability issues that come with optical links
The e-Tube platform is creating a new category of Active RF Cables (ARCs) that are the first true replacement for copper in short‑reach, multi‑terabit GPU‑to‑GPU interconnects. ARCs unlock massive AI cluster scaling with dramatically lower power, lower cost, and near‑zero latency — exactly what hyperscalers need to push AI to the next frontier.
If you want to help build the fastest, most efficient interconnects ever deployed in a data center, Point2 is where the future is being engineered.
