Description du poste

My client is looking for an Opto-electronics Design Engineer to join them at their R&D team in Ghent, Belgium, to lead the application of their integrated photonics platform to high-speed optical circuit switching.

Key Experience:

• Learn market demands in OCS space
• Interface with business development to translate market needs into technical requirements
• Innovate and propose new optical circuit switches and switch architectures, and the control circuits that support them, to address current bottlenecks in high-speed switching.
• Develop a system-level understanding of fast optical switching, including switching speed, insertion loss, crosstalk, and scalability trade-offs.
• Design and analyze control-loop strategies for fast, stable switching, including bias control and calibration schemes.
• Design the PIC in HISP technology required for switching demonstrators.
• Design and specify the surrounding high-speed control electronics for driving and stabilising the switch.
• Build prototypes and demonstrators, validate their performance, and present results to internal teams and external partners.
• Document designs, results, and performance trends, and feed insights back into platform development.
