  • Test Engineering Context: How Optical Design Verification Testing works: test plans, test cases and lab data
  • Software Craft: Python development, version control, structured documentation, tests, and iterating on tools from engineer feedback.
  • Fiber Communication Exposure: High-speed coherent optical products, DSP concepts, and how test data is used to judge product performance and reliability.
