  • Apply AI and Machine Learning to design and autonomously optimize DSP algorithms for next-generation optical transceivers, targeting performance beyond traditional methods.
  • Develop and integrate DSP modules within a large-scale, high-fidelity simulation platform. Explore and implement AI-driven cross-optimization strategies between DSP blocks to maximize system-level performance.
  • Create comprehensive technical documentation and deliver presentations to cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
  • Engage in forefront research in optical communications, with a focus on Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Forward Error Correction (FEC), and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML).
  • Develop and implement AI agent-based strategies for the holistic, cross-optimization of interconnected DSP blocks.

Job requirements

About the ideal candidate:

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science; PhD is an asset.
  • Expertise in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques; strong foundation in digital communication theory; solid understanding of Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding theory (e.g., BCH, RS, OFEC).
  • Proven experience in developing and applying Machine Learning and AI agent frameworks for complex system optimization.
  • Familiarity with multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) or other distributed AI paradigms for controlling and optimizing interdependent subsystems.
  • Knowledge of using Large Language Models (LLMs) for code generation, system modeling, or automating design exploration and analysis workflows.
  • Programming proficiency in Python, C++, and MATLAB, with experience in AI/ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
  • Experience or knowledge in machine learning (ML) is an asset, particularly as applied to physical layer communication and autonomous system design.
