TL;DR · Photonic Design Verification Test Engineer

The Photonic Design Verification Test Engineer joins the Device Verification Test group to support the development of optoelectronic components and modules. This role involves designing and running automated testing for PIC devices, defining and executing design verification test plans, and developing test algorithms and calibration procedures. The engineer will collaborate with RF, silicon photonics, DSP, and module design teams to debug new products, perform failure analysis, and improve production yields. Key technical requirements include experience with fiber optics components, test and measurement equipment, and high bandwidth RF or EO/OE testing. Preferred skills include Python for test automation, C++, Matlab, VPI modeling, and JMP for data analysis. The work focuses on solving technical challenges within integrated silicon photonics, optical packaging, and ASIC development for coherent optical communications.

What you'll do

  • Design and run automated testing for PIC devices.
  • Debug and bring up new PICs and modules during new product introduction.
  • Develop test algorithms and calibration procedures.
  • Define and execute design verification test plans.
  • Create and maintain design verification documentation.
  • Perform PIC level failure analysis and troubleshooting.
  • Improve production yields for optoelectronic components and modules.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree plus 5 years of related experience, Master's plus 3 years, or PhD with 0 years of experience.
  • Experience working in a laboratory environment.
  • Experience with basic fiber optics components and test and measurement equipment.
  • Experience with high bandwidth RF and EO/OE testing (preferred).
  • Experience with client optics DSP, SerDes, and its testing (preferred).
  • Experience with software and test automation, especially based on Python (preferred).
  • Experience in optical communications, including PAM4 and coherent optical communications (preferred).
