  • Designing and integrating optical isolators, including placement, orientation, and insertion-loss optimization
  • Developing robust fiber attachment solutions, including active and passive alignment methods
  • Supporting optical sub-assembly (OSA) development from concept through prototype and low-volume production
  • Performing optical simulations and tolerance stack-ups to ensure yield and performance margin
  • Collaborating with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers to ensure system-level performance
  • Supporting optical bring-up, characterization, and debug (IL, RL, PER, extinction ratio, eye performance)
  • Interfacing with vendors on lenses, isolators, fibers, ferrules, and optical components
  • Generating and maintaining optical design documentation, drawings, and assembly procedures

3. Required Qualifications

  • Experience designing or supporting fiber attach processes (active or passive alignment)
  • Ability to work with tight mechanical and optical tolerances at high data rates

4. Preferred Qualifications

Preferred qualifications include:

  • Experience with 112G/224G PAM4 optical modules (QSFP-DD, OSFP, OSFP-XD, or similar)
  • Experience with EML and silicon photonics-based transmitters
  • Familiarity with optical simulation tools (e.g., Zemax, Code V, LightTools, or equivalent)
  • Experience supporting prototype builds and low-volume production
  • Knowledge of optical testing and characterization methods
