    Job Description

    Job Summary

    We are seeking a skilled Electrical Engineer to design and develop high-speed optical transceiver hardware for next-generation data communication systems. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in high-speed digital and mixed-signal design, signal integrity, and optical module development (e.g., SFP, QSFP, OSFP). This role involves full product lifecycle ownership from architecture through validation and production.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Design and develop high-speed optical transceiver modules (e.g., SFP+, QSFP28, QSFP-DD, OSFP)
    • Perform schematic capture and oversee multilayer PCB layout for high-speed designs
    • Conduct signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) analysis for high-speed channels (NRZ/PAM4)
    • Simulate high-speed links using industry tools and validate performance in lab environments
    • Debug and troubleshoot hardware issues during bring-up and validation phases
    • Perform compliance testing according to industry standards (e.g., IEEE 802.3, MSA specifications)
    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including firmware, mechanical, optical, and manufacturing engineers
    • Support product qualification, manufacturing, and yield improvement efforts
    • Generate detailed design documentation, test plans, and reports

    Required Qualifications

    • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
    • Strong understanding of high-speed interfaces (10G/25G/50G/100G/400G+)
    • Experience with signal integrity concepts: impedance control, jitter, crosstalk, insertion/return loss
    • Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscope, BERT, VNA, TDR)
    • Experience with PCB design and schematic tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence Allegro)
    • Familiarity with communication protocols such as Ethernet, I2C, SPI, MDIO

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience with PAM4 signaling and advanced modulation schemes
    • Familiarity with optical components (lasers, photodiodes, TIAs, DSPs)
    • Experience with simulation tools (e.g., Keysight ADS, Ansys HFSS)
    • Knowledge of thermal design and high-density module packaging
    • Scripting or programming skills (Python, MATLAB) for automation and analysis
    • Experience with compliance and interoperability testing

    Key Skills

    • High-speed digital and mixed-signal design
    • Signal and power integrity analysis
    • Hardware debugging and problem-solving
    • Cross-functional collaboration
    • Attention to detail and documentation
