About this role
What you'll be doing:
- Work closely with a cross functional team to drive performance demonstrations and provide technical guidance for full module prototype designs
- Manage core technical details of early photonics prototypes to ensure key results from concept phase translate through to full system demonstration
- Develop a validation platform for silicon photonics based optical modules to demonstrate performance meeting product requirements
- Work with CMs to set up test requirements to ensure assembled modules meet product specifications
- Develop and maintain link budgets and system performance models
- Perform FA and debugging for early prototypes
What you have:
- 2+ years of post-PhD hands-on experience with fiber-coupled photonic systems, components, subassemblies, and/or modules
