Job Description

Do you want to help accelerate the networking solution across NVIDIA's product portfolio? NVIDIA Co-packaged silicon-photonics group seeks a dedicated R&D system engineer to join our silicon-photonics testing platforms team. We seek a skilled and experienced systems engineer to join our team.

The ideal candidate will have experience in these topics: high-speed testing of fiber-optic modules for telecom/datacom, lasers, and post-silicon verification. In this role, you will lead the design, Integration, and deployment of electro-optical testing platforms for SiPh. You will work closely with the R&D teams, internal verification teams, architects, FW developers, market-leading subcontractors, and other stakeholders to design systems. This role requires hands-on experience and a deep system-level multidisciplinary understanding of high-speed transceivers, as well as excellent integration, problem-solving skills, and strong communication abilities.

What you’ll be doing:

• You will lead the design of testing setups for bringing up and testing the new SiPh transceiver chips.

• Provide technical support and assistance to manufacturers of silicon photonics testing platforms.

• Troubleshoot and diagnose technical issues related to equipment, processes, and software.

• Document experimental procedures, results, and findings accurately and comprehensively.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, product development, and manufacturing, to resolve complex technical issues and implement system upgrades or modifications.

What we need to see:

• BSc. Degree (MSc. an advantage) in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related fields

• 5+ years of relevant experience in laser testing or in high-speed electro-optical testing

• Proven experience working in an optics and laser laboratory, preferably in a research or development environment.

• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and analysis with examples to prove it.

• Knowledge in signal integrity and high-speed signal measurement of electro-optical high-speed interfaces.

• Experience with establishing complex high-speed lab setups. Proficient in using electro-optical & electrical measurement tools such as oscilloscope, VNA, BERT & spectrum analyzers.

• Basic understanding of PCB layout and high-speed board design issues.

• Strong collaborative and interpersonal skills, with an ability to successfully guide and influence.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience with high-speed transceivers verification/ validation

• Post-silicon testing, debug, or FA

• Knowledge of programming languages, such as MATLAB, Python, or LabVIEW, for data analysis and automation.

• Strong knowledge of laser diode physics, fiber optic technology, and silicon photonics technology and devices.
