Optical Engineer, Test Automation and Optics NPI

# Optical Engineer, Test Automation and Optics NPIMenlo Park, CA Engineering+ 3 more Apply nowThe Meta Hardware Design and Release to Production (Hardware Design and Release to Production) team ensures that the hardware running in Meta's production fleet is stable, secure, performant, and delivers the most value. Within this organization, the Release to Production New Product Introduction (Release to Production NPI) team finds, debugs, and remediates hardware failure modes before certifying new platforms for mass production, and then sustains them across the deployed lifecycle.

We are looking for an Optical Engineer to drive optics validation within Release to Production NPI — pairing deep optical-transceiver expertise with Python scripting skills to automate the testing that qualifies optical communications modules and to lead optical transceiver NPI programs end to end. In this role, you will develop optics test automation using Python scripts, drive hands-on NPI execution with vendors and ODMs through EVT/DVT/PVT to mass production, and contribute to optical networking standards and engage with ecosystem partners.

---## Optical Engineer, Test Automation and Optics NPI Responsibilities
* Develop and maintain Python scripts and test automation for qualification of optical transceivers and subsystems across EVT, DVT, PVT, and characterization, using the team's existing test frameworks, instrument drivers, switch and host abstractions, and results pipelines
* Lead optics NPI programs end to end, working closely with optics vendors and ODMs from RFI / RFP through EVT / DVT / PVT to mass production ramp and sustaining
* Find, debug, and remediate optical hardware failure modes before certifying modules for mass production; drive root-cause analysis and corrective action with vendors and ODMs
* Set up and operate NPI test stations in Meta lab regions: integrate modules, switches, and instruments, and debug at-scale, lights-out test execution
