Principal System Engineer

Responsibilities

• Lead a team of engineers to characterize optical transmitters, optical receivers and link performance of highly parallel opto-electronic interfaces.
• Develop and maintain optical transmission system testing bed for full characterization of optical components and modules as well as system performance measurements.
• Define and run link DOEs using uLED on ASIC transmitters, fiber bundle as transmission and PD on ASIC as receivers.
• Characterize various aspects of both existing and potential future optical components such as evaluating signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), receiver sensitivity, bit-error-rate (BER), crosstalk, power consumptions and link budget of the transmission system.
• Work with PCBA design engineers to design, fabricate and bring up test boards.
• Experience in schematic capture, circuit simulation and PCB design guidance.

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in electrical engineering or physics with 6+ years of experience.
• Expertise with optical transceiver circuits such as Trans-impedance Amplifier (TIA), laser/led drivers and photodetectors.
• Familiarity with datacenter class optical module designs for Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable (QSFP)/(OSFP) form factor pluggable modules or emerging Near-Packaged Optics (NPO) or Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) approaches.
• Experience with optical transceiver test methodologies.
• Familiarity with industry standards including IEEE Ethernet standards, OIF standards and MSAs.
