Optical Transceiver Engineering Lead

Cisco; Maynard (MA); On-site; USD 179,000 - 254,000; Full time

Job summary

Cisco is seeking experienced engineers to advance next-generation high-performance, low-power coherent optical transceivers in Maynard, MA. On-site involvement is required at least three days per week.

You will collaborate with DSP, SW, and HW teams to optimize performance, power, and yield in a fast-paced optical communications environment. Candidates should have deep expertise in coherent optical tech, DSP optimization, and photonics IC controls, with a track record of bringing complex

Qualifications

• Experience with coherent optical communications and DSP optimization.
• Experience with photonics integrated circuits and their controls for coherent optical transmission.
• Advanced degree with relevant years of experience as stated in the posting.

Responsibilities

• Bring-up and optimization of each new coherent transceiver design, including optimization of operating conditions of optical and electrical components.
• Provide guidance and test results for the development of the integrated optics, high speed electronics, and DSP to maximize performance and minimize size and power consumption of Cisco’s coherent optical transceivers.
• Design verification testing (DVT) of coherent transceivers to ensure optical specifications are met over operating conditions (temperature, power levels, etc.).
• Development of calibration and test procedures to ensure consistent high transceiver performance over a wide range of operating conditions (temperature, production variation, ageing, power levels, etc.).
• Work with the operations team to bring these calibration procedures and production tests into high volume manufacturing in a fast, reliable and cost-effective way.
• Work with the operations team to maximize the product yield through good calibration and production test procedures.
• Debug of transceivers, both during bring-up and volume manufacturing.
