Electro-Optic Link Hardware Engineer

Join our team as an Electro-Optic Link Hardware Engineer, where you will lead the verification and characterization of high-speed electro-optic links across multiple silicon and system programs. You will work hands-on in the lab, owning modeling methodology, measurement standards, and serving as the escalation point for the toughest signal integrity and link-performance problems. You will also mentor senior and staff engineers while building automation/tools to speed up characterization work.

• Run hands-on lab characterization and debug of high-speed electrical/optical hardware, including novel failure modes.
• Build system-level electrical/optical/EO channel models and correlate them against your own bench measurements.
• Own link budget and verification methodology while staying hands-on with the validating measurements.

• If you're passionate about tackling complex challenges, making an impact, and being an expert in your craft, join our team of brilliant scientists, engineers, and accomplished industry leaders
