System Integration & Validation Engineer

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on System Integration Engineer focused primarily on full optical-module testing and integration with various customer platforms.

The role also covers bring-up, validation, and debugging from silicon and board level through complete system solutions. It combines laboratory work, root-cause investigation, intermediate Python/MATLAB automation, and cross-functional collaboration.

Requirements:

Responsibilities

• Execute silicon bring-up and validate boards for new ASIC revisions.
• Validate EVBs, reference designs, and optical modules.
• Perform full optical-module testing and integration with customer platforms.
• Develop and execute validation plans, test procedures, and regression tests.
• Debug complex hardware, firmware, and system-level issues.
• Validate power, clock, reset, and high-speed interfaces, including SerDes and optical links.
• Develop Python/MATLAB automation for validation, characterization, and regression testing.
• Operate and automate laboratory measurement equipment.
• Analyze BER, eye quality, signal integrity, power consumption, and thermal behavior.
• Work with hardware, firmware, and software teams to resolve system issues.
• Characterize analog blocks, DACs, ADCs, PLLs, power supplies, and monitoring circuitry.
• Review schematics and identify board-level issues.
• Prepare validation reports and document debugging findings.
• Support customer evaluations and reproduce customer-reported issues.
• Prepare and deliver product demonstrations for customers.
• Collaborate with customers, external partners, and vendors during integration activities.

Required Qualifications

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• 6+ years of experience in hardware, system validation, or system integration.
• Strong laboratory skills and experience with electronic measurement equipment.
• Experience debugging complex electronic systems.
• Intermediate Python proficiency for automation and data analysis.
• Good understanding of digital interfaces and embedded systems.
• Experience in digital signal processing (DSP) and communication systems.
• Familiarity with power sequencing, voltage regulators, clocks, and reset architectures.
• Ability to read schematics and perform board-level debugging.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• Fluent English.
• Availability to work fully on-site, five days per week.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, and SerDes.
• Experience with coherent optical DSPs.
• Familiarity with CMIS, OIF, or OpenROADM specifications.
• Understanding of Signal Integrity and Power Integrity.
• Experience validating mixed-signal ASICs.
• Experience with analog calibration techniques.
• Experience with MATLAB/Python.
• Experience working in multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Personal Attributes

• Hands-on and proactive.
• Curious and driven to investigate root causes.
• Strong ownership and accountability.
• Excellent teamwork and communication skills.
• Able to manage multiple activities in a fast-paced environment.
• Detail-oriented, with a systematic approach to debugging.
