Photonic Test Engineer

We are looking for a highly motivated professional with a solid understanding of Manufacturing Test Engineering. As a Photonic Test Engineer, you will develop automated manufacturing test solutions and provide technical support to our manufacturing partners. You will be a part of an international test development team, embedded in a worldwide Optical Research and Development organization.

• Development of fully automated production-level test solutions for optical components, modules and assemblies used in high speed optical network equipment
• Develop FT (Functional Test) SW to test functionality and quality of PIC (Photonic Integrated Circuit)
• Monitor production data, diagnose process variations, troubleshoot test stations, perform GRR
• Provide technical support to manufacturing partners. Assist with product failure analysis and troubleshooting
• Review and contribute to technical documentation (schematics, test specifications, test set layout, product testability)
• Support the adaptation of the test station from the R&D phase into high-volume manufacturing test platforms
• Interface with product development teams (software, hardware, firmware, Optical) and worldwide EMS partners

You have:

• BS or MS degree in a relevant field (Electrical, Electronics, Optics, RF) or equivalent work experience.
• Hands-on experience with Optical test and measurement instruments: OSA (optical spectrum analyzers), TLS (tunable laser sources), EDFAs, wavelength meters, power meters.
• 3+ years experience in Functional Test SW development for photonic, optical, electronics and electrical components/modules. Python preferred.

It would be nice if you also had:

• Hands-on experience with RF test and measurement instruments: Power Meters, Spectrum Analysers, Signal Generators, VNA.
• Debug and failure root cause analysis skills. Data Analysis: measurement data review to extract parameters and performance metrics.
• Willingness to periodically travel (domestic and international, less than 15%). Understanding of Coherent optical transmission desirable.
