Photonic Test Engineer

Job description

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.

Responsibilities

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

Qualifications

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.
