How You Will Contribute:

As an Electro-optics Hardware Designer in the Coherent Receiver team, you will contribute to the integration and test of the receiver optical-to-electrical (Rx OE) modem subsystem in Ciena's coherent Wavelogic products. In this role, you'll collaborate with an interdisciplinary modem integration team to design, test, and verify a wide range of innovative electro-optic technologies in a world-class R&D lab environment.

The successful candidate will

Work within an interdisciplinary modem integration team consisting of systems, test, ADC, DSP, PCB, firmware, production, and product engineers. Develop code in Matlab to calibrate and perform design verification testing of the Rx OE subsystem in prototype and early production Wavelogic coherent optical modems. Collaborate with external electro-optic component suppliers to define component specifications and the required performance characterization/verification against the specifications. Work with a very large existing Matlab codebase to develop new calibration and verification factory procedures, including sophisticated heuristics, for current and next-generation Rx OE subsystems in Ciena coherent modems; debug, improve and optimize existing calibration and verification procedures. Support the factory calibration and verification of coherent modems by investigating modem receiver hardware issues; debugging test station issues; writing new drivers and algorithms for new test-station instrumentation; analyzing "big data" to identify manufacturing drift, optimize yield/throughput, and re-center Rx OE application designs. Interpret wafer, device, and modem factory test data to identify Rx OE subsystem problems and help devise solutions. Write unit-tests and practice test-driven design in all coding activities. Conform to existing code standards. Use Git (Bitbucket) for version control. Write excellent documentation.

Customer First Mentality – what's important to the customer is also important to you. Initiative – You're a self-starter who works with limited direction and is committed to delivering against aggressive deadlines. Creative thinking – you're keen to understand technology and see opportunities to compartmentalize higher level requirements into design tasks. Agility – you are readily able to manage competing and ever-changing account priorities and maintain a balanced and methodical approach to problem solving. Communication expertise –You can tailor your message and ideas to the audience to ensure understanding and clearly articulate designs, specifications, test results and trade-offs. Leadership – the ability to influence, empower and get things done by people who don't necessarily report to you. The flexibility to work independently and as part of a broader team – you thrive in a team environment, but are comfortable working independently as required. A commitment to learning – you keep abreast of market, competitor and technology developments and use that information to Ciena's advantage.
