Avicena Inc.
TX/RX subcomponent testing engineer
Avicena Inc., Sunnyvale, California, United States, 94087
Avicena
is a privately held company developing microLED-based ultra-low power high bandwidth interconnects for chip-to-chip communications. This technology will revolutionize High-Performance (HPC) and Cloud computing, as well as other industries where low power interconnects are critical like camera sensors, autonomous vehicles, and aerospace. Avicenais headquartered in Sunnyvale, California with a development center in Edinburgh, Scotland. The company was founded in 2019 by leading technologists from the optical networking industry with a track record of delivering breakthrough products. ( www.avicena.tech )
Responsibilities
Characterization of subcomponents of optical transmitters, optical receivers used in parallel opto-electronic interfaces (Light emitting diodes (LEDs) and Photodetectors (PDs)))
Work with the epitaxial development group to characterize the bandgap structure of LEDs, modulation speed, efficiency using various methods (spectroscopy, S21 measurement, SIMS, FIB, SEM, etc.)
Test photo detectors and extract the relevant parameters and provide feedback for the PD developers.
Maintain and improve opto-electronic test systems for full characterization of optical sub-components and modules.
Qualifications
MS or PhD in electrical engineering or physics with 2+ years of experience
Understanding of solid-state physics and physical principles behind LEDs PDs design and critical parameters of the transceiver system design based on LEDs and PDs.
Experience with LED/PD characterization
Understanding of Optics
Preferred Qualifications
Being able to execute DOEs, targeted to improve the performance of sub-components. Provide clear/ concise data summary and conclusions
Strong verbal and written communication skills
Working knowledge of high-speed test instruments such as VNAs, sampling and real time oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers, optical spectrometers
Hands-on lab experience especially with probed/free space coupled (using stages) optical systems
