Optical DWDM Transmission SDVT Engineer

Our team is growing our Optical Hardware Integration and DWDM transmission capacity and as such is seeking a Optical DWDM Transmission SDVT engineer to work in our cutting edge DWDM optical transmission lab, characterizing DWDM transmission with high speed optical transponders in long-haul and metro optical networks. Work also could include subsea cable characterization, commissioning, integration, and field support.

• Planning and execution of transmission tests on DWDM line systems
• Development and modelling of link engineering rules
• Analyze results and perform experimental transmission tests that drive Architecture and System Engineering decisions
• Setup and maintenance of optical test beds
• Work may include characterizing and acceptance test of customer links
• Interface with customers, perform customer demos
• Operation and revision of test automation software (LabVIEW, HP VEE, Visual Basic, Python) and AI tools
• Extensive hands-on lab work
• Documentation of test results
• Presenting and articulating results to customers and colleagues

You have

• Minimum MS in EE or Physics or equivalent work experience in optical or electrical engineering
• Minimun 6 years of related experience
• Experience in the use of AI for programming, data analysis and test plan development
• An understanding of subsea optical cable design is a plus.
• Experience and expertise in high speed optical transmission
• Experience in DWDM system design, architecture, and testing
• Practical experience in development and modelling of link engineering rules and optical network characteristics
