What You Can Expect
Lead multiple test platforms, benches and board developments across sites. Set the technical approach, review designs, and manage schedule, quality and cost with internal teams, PCB vendors and contract manufacturers.
Design and develop electrical and optical test platforms and benches for VCSEL-based optical interconnect: define the bench architecture, select and qualify instruments, and build in calibration, automation and correlation across labs.
Design and develop the hardware these benches and platforms need, including PCBs, evaluation and characterization boards, test fixtures, and optical and electrical adapters: requirements, schematic, stack-up, SI/PI, layout, fabrication and assembly follow-up, and bring-up, working with outsourced partners where needed.
Develop new measurement techniques and methodologies for optical links (optical power, spectrum, eye and waveform, BER, noise and jitter, link margin) and for high-speed electrical interfaces. Evaluate new instruments and tools, and define the requirements for their purchase.
Bring up, debug and characterize electro-optical chiplets and products with the silicon, analog, DSP and firmware teams. Define and execute validation and characterization plans from first silicon through product tape-out.
Work with multiple optics vendors: define test requirements, qualify VCSEL, photodetector and module samples, and correlate results across vendors and sites.
Automate benches and data flows in Python (instrument control, data collection, statistical analysis and correlation).
Write test plans, characterization reports, bench and board design guidelines, and application collateral.
Lead and mentor a team of engineers. Influence the technical direction of the program and report schedule and progress to stakeholders.
What We're Looking For
Master's/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optical Engineering or a related field, with 8+ years of related experience.
Deep, expert-level experience of high-speed electrical lab measurements: real-time and sampling oscilloscopes, BERT, VNA/TDR, AWG, spectrum analyzers, and solid lab technique.
Deep, expert-level experience of optical lab measurements: optical power meters, optical spectrum analyzers, optical/high-speed photoreceivers, fiber handling and optical alignment.
Bench automation in Python (instrument control over SCPI/VISA/GPIB) and data analysis (Python, MATLAB, JMP or R).
Working knowledge of high-speed board design: reading schematics and layouts, SI/PI, transmission-line and EM fundamentals, and PCB materials, fabrication and assembly. Experience with OrCAD/Allegro or equivalent tools.
Strong fundamentals in communication systems and in analog and digital circuits.
Proven technical leadership of a team or multiple projects, including vendor management and leading root-cause and corrective-action efforts.
Good troubleshooting and root-cause skills. Fluent English, and ready to work with remote teams across Italy, Vietnam, Canada and the US.
