Coherent Corp.
Job Summary
The candidate will work on the development of optical and IC package designs that meet the critical performance and cost requirements of high‑speed optical transceivers. The candidate will focus on the electrical and RF design, specification, characterization and validation of high‑speed components.
Primary Duties & Responsibilities Primary responsibility is electrical/rf design and characterization of fiber optic sub‑assemblies, primarily >100 Gbit/s and higher with focus on coherent transmission. Experience with various simulation modeling tools, such as HFSS, ADS, CST, Pads, etc. Work closely with both internal and external suppliers to develop the necessary active components (drivers, TIAs, analog ICs, DSP, etc.). Identify and drive reliability, performance and yield improvement projects. Interface with internal customers, in both NPI and production organizations.
Education & Experience B.S. with 5 years of related experience, or M.S. with 2 years, or Ph.D. (M.S. preferred, Ph.D. a plus). Strong academic background and knowledge of RF and Microwave engineering, ideally also in optical communications. Expertise on high‑speed optoelectronic and RF components – designs, specifications, characterization, performance, and qualification. Hands‑on experience with various EM simulation modeling tools, such as HFSS, ADS, CST, Matlab, etc. Hands‑on experience on characterization and measurements of s‑parameters, bandwidth by using VNA, TDR, VSA, oscilloscope, signal or vector signal generator etc. Solid foundation of understanding for high‑speed optical transceivers. Identify and drive reliability, performance and yield improvement projects.
Skills & Other Requirements Strong laboratory measurement skills required (optical and electrical lab measurements), including script‑based test automation. Strong collaborative and communications skills required for interactions with customers, with the design, process, and manufacturing teams. Strong analytical problem‑solving skills for product design and debug. Hands‑on technical background in generating schematics, netlists and PCB layout. Experience in advanced packaging of electrical and/or optical devices (flip‑chip, BGA). Work closely with both internal and external suppliers to develop the necessary active components (drivers, TIAs, analog ICs, etc.).
