Job Description
Job Summary
We are seeking a skilled Electrical Engineer to design and develop high-speed optical transceiver hardware for next-generation data communication systems. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in high-speed digital and mixed-signal design, signal integrity, and optical module development (e.g., SFP, QSFP, OSFP). This role involves full product lifecycle ownership from architecture through validation and production.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop high-speed optical transceiver modules (e.g., SFP+, QSFP28, QSFP-DD, OSFP)
Perform schematic capture and oversee multilayer PCB layout for high-speed designs
Conduct signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) analysis for high-speed channels (NRZ/PAM4)
Simulate high-speed links using industry tools and validate performance in lab environments
Debug and troubleshoot hardware issues during bring-up and validation phases
Perform compliance testing according to industry standards (e.g., IEEE 802.3, MSA specifications)
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including firmware, mechanical, optical, and manufacturing engineers
Support product qualification, manufacturing, and yield improvement efforts
Generate detailed design documentation, test plans, and reports
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
Strong understanding of high-speed interfaces (10G/25G/50G/100G/400G+)
Experience with signal integrity concepts: impedance control, jitter, crosstalk, insertion/return loss
Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscope, BERT, VNA, TDR)
Experience with PCB design and schematic tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence Allegro)
Familiarity with communication protocols such as Ethernet, I2C, SPI, MDIO
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with PAM4 signaling and advanced modulation schemes
Familiarity with optical components (lasers, photodiodes, TIAs, DSPs)
Experience with simulation tools (e.g., Keysight ADS, Ansys HFSS)
Knowledge of thermal design and high-density module packaging
Scripting or programming skills (Python, MATLAB) for automation and analysis
Experience with compliance and interoperability testing
Key Skills
High-speed digital and mixed-signal design
Signal and power integrity analysis
Hardware debugging and problem-solving
Cross-functional collaboration
Attention to detail and documentation
