Key Responsibilities

  • Perform electrical, optical, thermal, and timing measurements of optical transceivers and high-speed communication modules.
  • Develop compliance and characterization reports and support NPI from architecture through production readiness, including design reviews, EVT/DVT, and resolution of DFM issues identified through engineering and factory feedback.
  • 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.
  • Work independently and collaborate with global cross-functional teams, including program management, procurement, planning, manufacturing, and suppliers, to support timely builds.
  • Create and maintain engineering documentation, including schematics, drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), and engineering change orders (ECOs).
  • Apply knowledge of data-center and AI network architectures spanning scale-up within accelerator systems, scale-out between hosts and nodes, and scale-across racks, clusters, data halls, and distributed network fabrics.
  • Follow Lumentum engineering, quality, environmental, health, and safety processes.

Required Qualifications and Experience
