• Develop, refine, and support optical and electrical test setups for silicon photonics components and modules, including optical power monitors and integrated photonic circuits (PICs).
• Proven experience in integrated photonic and RF system development, including full lifecycle execution from concept through manufacturing.
• Create and maintain test procedures for photonic subsystems such as modulators, photodetectors, and wavelength/power monitor structures.
• Strong background in photonic chip design, simulation, statistical characterization, and hardware integration at the system level.
• Design and implement calibration algorithms to ensure precision in optical power and wavelength measurement, particularly in silicon photonic-based OCM systems.
• Demonstrated ability to support test development for manufacturing, including design for reliability and qualification testing.
• Experience participating in multiple integrated circuit (IC) tape outs, ideally as a design authority or design prime for complex photonic subsystems.
• Track record of delivering innovative, production-viable solutions to bridge performance gaps between R&D and manufacturing environments.
• Automate test and calibration routines using scripting tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, Shell), ensuring integration with lab and manufacturing environments.
• Collect, process, and analyze measurement data to identify performance trends, optimize yield, and enhance system reliability.
• Lead root-cause investigations of test failures and develop corrective actions to improve overall process robustness and cost-efficiency.
• Work with functional and product development teams to incorporate calibration logic into both R&D and high-volume production environments, ensuring smooth transfer of test procedures from lab to line.
• Support the transition of calibration methodologies into scalable, production-ready solutions by collaborating closely with manufacturing, design, and test engineering teams.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to align test and calibration methodology with product requirements.

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Physics, Optics, or a related field.
• Experience in optical measurements, power monitoring, and photonic testing.
• Strong skills in algorithm development and data analysis.
