Principal Tasks


Test engineer working directly with small product development team to evaluate and qualify high speed 25Gb/s optical IMDD and 400Gb/s to 800Gb/s coherent transceiver designs in Avda labs.

You will gain valuable hands-on experience in the field of optical communication product development, packaging, as well as design verification of silicon photonic transceivers.


Tasks will include:

  • Work directly with electrical design engineers and firmware engineers to evaluate and improve performance of the design against industry and internal specifications such as Telcordia GR468 reliability requirements
  • Contribute ideas and modify test plans as needed
  • Create automated test scrips where necessary for testing parameters such as:
  • BER versus receive power, wavelength, and operating temperature ranges-
  • Tunable C-band laser characterization over temperature and output power-
  • Optical receiver characterization over temperature, receive power, OSNR, and data rates-
  • Evaluate optimal signal equalization parameters and performance over various conditions-
  • Testing passive and active silicon photonic optical structures-
  • Work with other engineers to evaluate robustness of silicon photonic packaging concepts-
  • Organize test data and create summary report explaining performance against specifications using basic statistical analysis
  • Test equipment used: Optical power meters, variable optical attenuators, optical wavelength meter, optical spectrum analyzer, Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT), high speed digital scope (DCA), chromatic dispersion emulator, environmental chambers, SiP probe stations
