Overview
We engineer Photonic Integrated Circuits endtoend—design, development, and rigorous testing—inside a truly vertically integrated model. You’ll work directly with Nokia’s system and application teams and engage with customers to turn requirements into breakthrough products. Partnering closely with internal manufacturing and leveraging our own fabs, we translate cutting edge photonics into production grade optical modules that power the next generation of optical networks and interconnects of AI applications.
Description
We are seeking a range of experience levels for multiple openings, from new graduates to industry veterans, for various roles up to leadership. We are leveraging advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) to meet the exploding demand for high-speed communication infrastructure. With proven leadership and cutting-edge technology, Nokia is defining the next generation of connectivity solutions. The Optical Module Group within Nokia ON group is seeking talented engineers to develop PIC characterization for both coherent and direct-detection ultra-high-bandwidth data communication systems.
Responsibilities- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including component design, optical architecture, module development, transmission systems, and SiGe ASIC design.
- Drive the development and implementation of high-speed PIC characterization methodologies for next-generation InP-based PICs.
- Lead PIC element DC or wide bandwidth RF characterization and develop next generation PIC test infrastructure. Multiple test development positions at different levels in several different focuses are available.
- Design test plans, develop test methods, and execute performance validation tests.
- Interact closely with PIC design, PIC process, SiGe ASIC, and Module design teams for efficient and reliable product releases.
- Work in Nokia South San Francisco Bay facility.
Your skills and experience
We are looking for an individual with a strong background in optoelectronic device characterization:
- Strong fundamental understanding of active and passive semiconductor optical devices, particularly waveguide-based devices.
