Photonic Integrated Circuit - Wafer level Burn-in Engineer

We engineer Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) end to end - design, development, and rigorous testing - inside a truly vertically integrated model. Join Nokia Network Infrastructure (NI) California as PIC Test Development Engineer, creating and implementing SW and HW solutions for both R&D and large throughput, production level testing of complex PICs! Partnering closely with internal manufacturing and leveraging our own world-class wafer fabs, we translate cutting edge photonics into production grade optical modules that power the next generation of optical networks and interconnects of AI applications.

• Lead wafer level PIC Burn-in development. Work with vendor complete wafer Burn-in hardware and process development
• Lead efforts developing fully wafer level PIC test and Burn-In solutions
• Design test plans and algorithms of wafer level PIC performance validation tests
• Extensive test station qualification work, including Gage RR and statistical process control (SPC)
• Thorough documentation of all test solutions and communication to other teams and outside vendors

• PhD. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or equivalent with minimum of 3 years of applicable graduate-level and/or industrial experience in optical communications or photonics, or Master's degree with 3+ years of applicable industry experience.
• Fundamental understanding of active and passive semiconductor optoelectronic device characteristics (e.g. semiconductor lasers/amplifiers, photo diodes, modulators, wave guides)
• Hands‑on experience with semiconductor electrical and optical characterization techniques (e.g. diode characterization, laser threshold, spectral measurements, optical power measurements. Experiences with wafer probing is a plus)
• Software development skills and strong drive for test automation and data analysis. Programming experience in Matlab, C, C++, Python, LabVIEW,  or similar for automation of instrument control and data acquisition is a plus
• Ability to build, maintain and troubleshoot complex test hardware and software in a cross‑functional environment
• Experience with a production level test environment (including Gage RR, SPC, tool qualification) is a plus.
• Experience with database tools like JMP, SQL is a plus.
• Attention to detail and willingness to produce detailed documentation
• Ability to work within a team environment, clearly and concise communication inside and outside the Test team
