Electro-Optic Link Hardware Engineer

Who you are

• If you're passionate about tackling complex challenges, making an impact, and being an expert in your craft, join our team of brilliant scientists, engineers, and accomplished industry leaders
• We're looking for a hands-on Photonics engineer to lead verification and characterization of high-speed electro-optic links across multiple silicon and system programs
• You'll work at the bench alongside the EOE team owning modeling methodology, measurement standards, and serving as the escalation point for the toughest signal integrity and link-performance problems in the org
• MS/PhD in EE, Photonics, Physics (8+ yrs) or BS/MS (10+ yrs)
• Ownership of verification strategy for a full silicon/system program
• Deep expertise in 56G/112G/224G+ serial links, SerDes equalization (CTLE/FFE/DFE), and signal integrity (S-parameters, crosstalk, link budgets)
• Hands-on lab experience leading investigations that stalled others
• Strong Python/MATLAB for team-used automation frameworks
• Proficiency with VNA, scopes, BERTs, TDRs, and tools like ADS, HFSS, Cadence, COMSOL
• Track record mentoring engineers
• Silicon photonics/EO systems at the architecture level
• Package/PCB/channel co-design ownership
• COM/IBIS-AMI modeling, patents/standards contributions (OIF, IEEE 802.3)

What the job involves

• Run hands-on lab characterization and debug of high-speed electrical/optical hardware, including novel failure modes
• Build system-level electrical/optical/EO channel models and correlate them against your own bench measurements
• Own link budget and verification methodology while staying hands-on with the validating measurements
• Characterize eye diagrams, BER, jitter, equalization, and channel impairments
• Support silicon bring-up and root-cause debug with analog, package, PCB, and SerDes teams
• Influence chip/package/system architecture tradeoffs based on bench findings
• Mentor Senior/Staff engineers without stepping back from lab work
• Build automation/tools to speed up characterization work

Benefits

• Commuter benefit
• Happy hour -Spend time together and build friendships
• Generous vacation policy and holidays
• 401(K)
• Opportunity to learn from your peers and teach them what you know across electronics, photonics, machine learning, and more
