Optical Design Engineer

Acacia Optical Transceiver EngineerJoin our team at Acacia, where we develop advanced optical transceivers for high-speed fiber optic transmission in data centers and telecommunication networks. We're seeking enthusiastic, experienced individuals to work on the forefront of fiber optic technology. You'll be part of the team developing high performance optical transceivers with low power consumption. Collaboration with colleagues from the DSP, SW, HW, PIC teams is key to optimizing performance and power efficiency. You'll contribute to producing high volume, high yield products.With your expertise in optical transceivers, control algorithms and verification, you help the team to develop the next generation of low-power and high-performance transceivers. Here are some examples of possible topics:Bring-up and optimization of each new coherent transceiver design, including optimization of operating conditions of optical and electrical componentsProvide guidance and test results for the development of the integrated optics, high speed electronics, and DSP to maximize performance and minimize size and power consumption of Cisco's coherent optical transceiversDesign verification testing (DVT) of coherent transceivers to ensure optical specifications are met over operating conditions (temperature, power levels, etc.)Development of calibration and test procedures to ensure consistent high transceiver performance over a wide range of operating conditions (temperature, production variation, ageing, power levels, etc.)Work with the operations team to bring these calibration procedures and production tests into high volume manufacturing in a fast, reliable and cost-effective wayWork with the operations team to maximize the product yield through good calibration and production test proceduresDebug of transceivers, both during bring-up and volume manufacturingMinimum Qualifications:Bachelor's Degree with 12+ years of experience or Master's degree with 8 years of experience, or PhD with 5 years of related experienceDemonstrated experience with coherent optical communications and DSP optimizationDemonstrated experience with photonics integrated circuits and their controls for coherent optical transmissionPreferred Qualifications:Experience with test automation, ideally with PythonHands-on experience with high-speed RF electronics and ADC/DAC
