We're a technology company that leads with our humanity-driving our business priorities alongside meaningful social, community, and societal impact.

This role is intended to be on-site in New Providence, NJ 4-5 days/week.

Ciena's xPO Micro-Optics Team is driving the future of high-speed connectivity by developing advanced micro-optic solutions that directly enable scalable, high-performance optical interconnects. This role offers the opportunity to lead innovative design, modeling, and hands-on development efforts that translate directly into Ciena products, shaping next-generation optical technologies.

How you will make an impact:

  • Lead micro-optic design and modeling initiatives that support high-volume manufacturing requirements.
  • Develop and optimize micro-optic assemblies that connect optical fibers to silicon photonic integrated circuits.
  • Design, model, and analyze micro-optic components using the Zemax optics simulator.
  • Create C#-based automation tools for instrument control, assembly processes, and data acquisition.
  • Conduct in-lab design-of-experiment (DOE) activities to validate and refine optical designs.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to align development with Design for Manufacture (DFM) principles.
  • Drive technical decision-making as a lead engineer on development projects.

The must haves:

  • 5+ years of industry experience in micro-optics, optical engineering, or a related field.
  • Expert-level proficiency with Zemax optics simulation software.

  • C# programming skills for automation and instrument control.
  • Knowledge of optical transceiver technology used in data centers.
  • Extensive in-the-lab DOE and hardware development experience.
  • Ability to perform as a lead engineer in complex development projects.

Nice to haves:

  • Experience with physical-optics simulation using Ansys Lumerical.
  • Mechanical design experience using SolidWorks or equivalent tools.
  • Familiarity with silicon photonics packaging methods.
  • Understanding of high-volume manufacturing workflows for optical assemblies.
  • Knowledge of emerging optical interconnect technologies.
  • Experience collaborating with semiconductor or photonics manufacturing partners.
  • Background in optical system-level integration.
