  • Establish and advance in-house test bed for reliability and performance to strengthen overall product design robustness
  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives based on Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and identified opportunities in collaboration with optical suppliers
  • Work with cross-functional teams to implement design enhancements and preventive measures informed by failure analysis, including conducting supplier audits (15% international travel required)
  • Create detailed reports and dashboards that document reliability test outcomes, failure analysis insights, and recommendations for improvement
  • Keep abreast of industry trends and advancements in optical technology and manufacturing challenges (including advanced packaging) to refine reliability testing and analysis methods
  • Partner with Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs), component suppliers, and Quality Assurance (QA) teams to ensure comprehensive coverages
  • Coordinate with internal and external teams across different time zones, overseeing the development of optical manufacturing processes to support prototyping, product development, and mass production

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Sciences and Engineering, and/or related field
  • 6+ years of experience in the development and validation of optical communication components such as lasers, transmitters, receivers, and transceivers
  • 5+ years of experience in high-speed optical and electrical test and measurement equipment, control, data acquisition and test automation

Nice to have

  • Experience with advanced modulation formats, direct detect and coherent systems (e.g., NRZ, PAM-4, QPSK, 8-QAM, 16QAM)
  • Experience with optical integration including InP PICs, Silicon-photonic PICs, PIC-IC integration, and 3D optical/silicon packaging technologies
  • Programming skills in one or more of the following: Python or MATLAB
