R&D Engineer

Role overview An R&D engineering role focused on the development and characterization of optical transceivers and high-speed communication modules. The work spans electrical, optical, thermal, and RF analysis from early architecture through production readiness, supporting data center and AI network architectures.

Responsibilities - Perform electrical, optical, thermal, and timing measurements on optical transceivers and high-speed communication modules. - Develop compliance and characterization reports and support new product introduction through architecture, design reviews, EVT/DVT, and resolution of DFM issues. - Design and revise printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). - Conduct RF simulations and analyses of high-speed communication links. - Analyze and resolve electrical, RF, and optical transceiver issues through hands-on testing and root-cause analysis. - Collaborate with global cross-functional teams including program management, procurement, planning, manufacturing, and suppliers to support timely builds. - Create and maintain engineering documentation such as schematics, drawings, BOMs, and engineering change orders. - Apply knowledge of data center and AI network architectures covering scale-up, scale-out, and scale-across networking. - Follow established engineering, quality, environmental, health, and safety processes.

Requirements - Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. - At least two years of relevant experience in electrical, RF, high-speed, or optical transceiver design. - Knowledge of circuit theory, linear systems, feedback systems, integrated circuits, and high-speed RF fundamentals. - Understanding of data center and AI architectures and how optical transceivers affect link budgets, bandwidth, latency, signal integrity, power, thermal management, reliability, and system performance. - Familiarity with Ethernet, InfiniBand, PCIe, or comparable high-speed interconnect technologies. - Strong hands-on measurement skills and ability to analyze complex problems, identify root causes, and drive solutions. - Experience with electronic design, product development cycles, ECAD, and system modeling tools. - Ability to work in a collaborative, cross-functional, international environment. - Professional fluency in written and spoken English.

Nice to have - Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Photonics, RF Engineering, or a related discipline. - RF design and electromagnetic modeling experience using tools such as CST or HFSS. - Knowledge of embedded and AI computing architectures including microprocessors, GPUs, TPUs, HBM, NICs, DPUs, switching fabrics, and real-time control firmware. - Background in designing or testing optical transceivers, optoelectronic modules, or high-speed communication systems. - Practical exposure to manufacturing, DFM, supplier engagement, or new product introduction.
