Infinera
Distinguished Optics Engineer
Infinera, Washington, District Of Columbia, United States, 20001
Sr Principal Or Distinguished Engineer
Team: Office Of The Cto Location: Usa Or Remote We're seeking a world-class innovative leader to define the vision and roadmap for embedded, pluggable coherent, data center optics, including DSP ASICs, PICs, materials and next-generation transport systems. This individual will shape product strategies that deliver ultra efficient, high capacity interconnects for AI infrastructure (including CPO, OBO, LPO, ), data center interconnect (DCI), metro, and long haul networks. You will drive innovation across silicon photonics, Indium Phosphide, DSP, as well as vertically integrated solutions including on switching platforms
ensuring product lines remains at the technological forefront. Key Responsibilities: Define and deliver strategy for integrated solutions across inter/intra data center including DCI and access to subsea networks. Guide innovation in delivering on vertical integration strategy, marrying photonics, NPU / DSP, and packet-optical systems to optimize cost per bit, space and power efficiency. Collaborate with hyperscaler and service provider customers to align product features with real-world deployment needs. Gain industry mindshare, publish in leading conferences, represent the company in standards bodies, and foster R&D and academic partnerships. Partner / mentor team as well as cross organizations in R&D, PLM, Marketing, Services and Sales ensuring company success. Required Qualifications: Ph.D. preferred but not required in Optical Communications, Photonics, or Electrical Engineering. 15+ years experience from technology to productization. Deep knowledge of InP / SiP photonics, high baud-rate DSP ASICs, and optical integration. Experience scaling architectures across data center, embedded and pluggable form factors. Strong publication and patent portfolio; leadership in standards and ecosystem initiatives.
