Job description
Optical Engineer, Infrastructure Validation Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain Python scripts and test automation for qualification of optical transceivers and subsystems across EVT / DVT / PVT / 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
- Define test and measurement methodologies for high-speed optical technologies, and translate them into reusable Python scripts and automation
- Develop instrument automation and integration — BERT, OSA, optical power and wavelength meters, scopes — and CMIS register-level module control using SCPI / VISA / PyVISA and vendor APIs
- Ensure new optical platforms are supported by production and fleet-health tooling, and contribute to production-readiness documentation including production-readiness review documentation, best-known configuration guides, and design-for-test specifications
- Contribute to data integrity and analysis: build data capture, storage, and visualization so test and fleet results are trustworthy, queryable, and actionable
- Provide sustaining support after deployment — validate stability, security, and performance under production workloads, and refine understanding of failure characteristics at scale
- Contribute to engineering standards for test automation — code review, version control, documentation — and mentor engineers and technicians on Python scripting best practices and optical test methods
- Collaborate across Software, Thermal, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, Signal Integrity, TPM, and Production Engineering teams to integrate optics into systems
- Interface with the industry, contribute to the RFI / RFP process, and shape product requirements, test plans, and data sheets
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- Master's degree in Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Computer Science, or a related field
- 10+ years in development roles for optical networking hardware, with a proven track record of taking new products into volume production
- Demonstrated experience writing Python scripts to automate test and measurement, including instrument control, data acquisition, and data analysis in a lab environment. Experience developing and maintaining reusable test automation in a team setting
- Hands-on experience with high-speed optical and electrical test, test automation, and lab instrumentation
- Experience leading optical transceiver NPI programs with vendors and/or ODMs through EVT, DVT, PVT to MP
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with optical integration including InP PICs, silicon-photonic PICs, PIC-IC integration, and 3D optical packaging technologies
- Deep knowledge of pluggable optical transceivers and form factors — QSFP-DD, OSFP, QSFP112 — and the CMIS management interface
- Ability to set technical direction across a multi-quarter NPI (New Product Introduction) program, define scope and requirements when they are initially unclear, and align cross-functional and external partners, including vendors, ODMs, TPMs, and Production Engineering
- Track record of mentoring engineers, improving engineering standards and practices for test automation quality, and influencing without direct authority
- Experience driving NPI milestones — EVT / DVT / PVT / MP — production-readiness reviews, and transferring test scripts and methods to contract manufacturers and ODM factory lines, including dual-ODM strategies
- Experience with advanced modulation formats and direct-detect and coherent systems — OOK, PAM-4, QPSK, 8-QAM, 16-QAM — and related concepts
- Experience writing Python scripts to automate tests and measurements, with familiarity in debugging, code reuse and shared libraries, and writing clean, maintainable automation
- Data handling for test results: schema design, database persistence, dashboards, and statistical analysis of measurement data using NumPy, pandas, SQL or similar tools
- Leadership & Scope
- Experience with version control — Git or Mercurial — for managing test code in collaborative environments
- Optical & NPI Domain
- Experience in creating or influencing product requirements documents, test plans, and data sheets
- Experience using instrument-control libraries and APIs — SCPI / VISA, PyVISA, vendor APIs — to automate lab instruments including BERT, OSA, power meters, and scopes
- Willingness to work hands-on in the lab and to travel to vendor, ODM, and manufacturing sites as needed to support NPI builds
- Familiarity with additional languages where useful for test or analysis: C/C++ or MATLAB
- Test Automation & Scripting
- Expertise in optical test and measurement: BER / FEC, pre-FEC and post-FEC analysis, eye diagrams, TDECQ, OSNR, optical spectrum, and link budgets
- Familiarity with data center network architecture, fleet health and sustaining concepts, and high-volume manufacturing test flows
