Sr. Staff Engineer, Optical Link Design

Essential Functions

• Drive rigorous link modeling studies to help evaluate future product solution spaces and define precise component-level specifications.
• Identify key device performance metrics and translate hardware variability into its impact on total link budget and manufacturing yield.
• Build accurate system-level models based on component-level data and benchmark these models against measured system-level data.
• Work collaboratively with Photonic and AMS teams to ensure seamless integration across electrical and optical domains.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Optics/Photonics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience in photonics, electrical engineering, high-speed link design, or processing and analyzing large statistical datasets.
• Comprehensive understanding of high-speed electrical and/or optical links, as well as optical physics regarding photonic components.
• Strong programming proficiency in Python for scientific computing and data analysis.
• Familiarity with data analysis libraries (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, SciPy) is required.
• Excellent communication skills to convey complex technical concepts and a proven ability to thrive in collaborative team environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's or Ph.D. in Optics/Photonics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Prior experience in the design and simulation of PIC components or large-scale integrated optical systems.
• Experience with laboratory equipment and free-space/fiber optics for optical characterization.
• Proficiency in behavioral modeling using Verilog-A and knowledge of mixed-signal simulation methodologies.
