Position Details

The Lumentum OCS System Design & Architecture development team is looking for a new Design Authority to grow our team. The team is responsible for development of Lumentum’s OCS product line, addressing the emerging market in AI/ML datacenter applications.

The System Designer role is the technical leader for a multi-disciplinary product development team and the overall product design owner throughout its lifecycle. This is a critical role that involves elements of system engineering, technical risk identification and mitigation and actively leading a broad multi-disciplinary team. It allows a wide exposure to Lumentum’s internal technology and sub-components and the opportunity to interact with people throughout the company. You will work closely with functional design teams (HW, SW, FPGA), Verification, Reliability, Project Management, PLM and Operations to successfully develop new products and bring them to production. There is also an important customer facing component to the role as the primary interface for technical discussions on requirements and program status.

In addition to product definition and design leadership, additional responsibilities include:

• Support to manufacturing including yield review and failure analysis
• Driving integration and initial validation testing on new designs
• Design and test report reviews
• Coordinate failure analysis activities throughout the product lifecycle – development, design verification, manufacturing, qualification
• Lifecycle support as the product line matures – managing EOL components, cost reductions, field failures

This is a senior position which requires strong accountability, leadership ability and significant technical background.

Qualifications

Physics, engineering physics or relevant engineering degree.

5 years experience in product development with broad exposure to optics, hardware and firmware. Experience in the optical networking industry is preferred but not necessary.

Experience in a technical leadership role, particularly in a multidisciplinary environment, is an asset.

Excellent communication skills and the ability to facilitate discussions between multiple design disciplines are critical to success in this role.

Strong attention to detail, ability to multi-task.
