Photonic Test Development Engineer

Juniper

This candidate will be responsible for the development of validation tests for optical components and Photonic Integrated Circuits. The candidate will collaborate and influence test methodologies, test strategies, design trade-offs, and product yield improvement roadmaps for design and product validation. This position requires a background in optical engineering, Silicon Photonics devices and intimate knowledge of optical and RF test instrumentation.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop test methodologies for silicon photonics components such as lasers, modulators, detectors, MUX/DeMUX and other Photonic Integrated Circuit structures.
  • Develop test automation and data analysis code for wafer testers and other validation platforms as well as for advanced device debug testing.
  • Perform analysis and generate test reports to provide feedback to the engineering team for device design and process improvements.
  • Build and integrate test systems, and write test sequence and data acquisition software.
  • Quantify measurement errors in test systems.
  • Document test procedures and train junior test engineers in photonic component DVT, PIC testing and module testing.
  • Collaborate with the design and mask layout teams, and develop design for test rules for fast, automated optical, DC electrical and RF testing.
  • Develop and execute custom engineering DVT tests and Silicon photonics device and PIC design debug.

Required Skills:

  • The candidate must have a broad technical knowledge of silicon photonics device design, performance characterization and validation.
  • Experience in optical engineering, fiber-waveguide coupling, and design verification testing.
  • RF characterization of photonic devices.
  • Proven ability of programming in Matlab, Python or C++.
  • Self-motivated and possessing strong analytical and problem solving skills.

Preferred Experience:

  • M.S. or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics or related field with focus in Silicon Photonics device design and characterization.
  • 3-5 years industry experience
  • Experience with high-speed RF characterization tools and methods such as S-parameter, BER and eye measurements.
  • Python experience is strongly preferred.
  • Knowledge of optical measurement instruments such as laser, power meter, beam profiling, optical and electrical spectrum analyzers, and laser noise measurements.
  • Generating design for test concepts and implementation.
  • Knowledge of statistical analysis of test data using tools like JMP
