The Role
As a Silicon Photonics Validation and Characterization Test Engineer in the Optical IO team, you will collaborate with various Product Development Groups, Silicon Design, DFT, Packaging, and interface with key technology partners. This individual serves as a critical technical point of contact to ensure best-practices and new test concepts are architected, developed, and driven throughout the organization. This position focuses on developing validation and characterization and test solutions for silicon photonics. You will be part of a larger team that defines test solutions from concept, development, to production deployment.
The Person
This is a technical leadership position that requires engineering experience in semiconductor validation and characterization test with a focus on silicon photonics. The ideal candidate should have a proven ability to tackle complex test and manufacturing challenges for various silicon photonics & optical interconnect technologies. This role requires excellent communication and coordination across various teams and capable of defining long-term test solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate with silicon design, product & test, and packaging teams to architect & define test solutions for silicon photonics at wafer-sort, die-level, and CPO-level
- Collaborate with design, packaging, and key suppliers to understand structural and parametric mechanisms for performance, yield, reliability and quality issues
- Interface with suppliers to provide technical inputs & test requirements to enable production-worthy end-to-end solutions
- Deep knowledge to train other teams & engineers in the field of silicon photonics from design, packaging, to volume test
- Responsible for identifying & mitigating test challenges and executing large technical projects and processes in a timely manner
- Specify and develop test fixtures in collaboration with Hardware, PCB, and Firmware engineers.
- Develop test automation software in collaboration with design engineers.
- Proven experience in the field of optical interconnects and silicon photonics
- Familiar with general test & manufacturing of silicon photonics
- Good communication skills and ability to work with geographically distributed engineering teams.
- Software development for test automation such as with PyVISA, MATLAB, or other development tools.
- Familiarity with wireline analog and digital signal processing techniques such as FFE, DFE, and CTLE or with optical communication systems with concepts such as optical-signal-to-noise ratio, receiver sensitivity, optical modulation amplitude, and optical filtering.
- Hands-on experience with high-speed test equipment such as bit error rate testers, digital communication analyzers, real-time oscilloscopes, vector network analyzers, and arbitrary waveform generators.
- Hands-on experience with optical test equipment, including swept laser sources, power meters, optical spectrum analyzers, optical time domain reflectometers, optical amplifiers, and best practices in optical test systems
- Hands-on experience with electrooptic wafer and die-level test systems
- BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical, Computer Engineering, Optics & Photonics Engineering, or comparable disciplines
