Senior Optical Module Product Engineer

Nokia is searching for a qualified candidate to work as a Product Engineer focused on the introduction of next-generation coherent optical pluggable modules. Working in a vertically integrated organization, there will be opportunity to help products achieve industry leading performance through engineering optimization end-to-end. This candidate hired to this position will help drive engineering optimization and yield improvements for the 800G pluggable line as it ramps to volume production, while also supporting new product development and introduction. The position provides a rich learning environment that is highly cross-functional with hardware design, test, firmware, reliability, and manufacturing teams. The ideal candidate has a background in optical engineering and coherent communications systems, enjoys data analysis and developing automation solutions, and can ramp up quickly in a multi-disciplinary environment. The position is based in Allentown, Pennsylvania. • Review customer-facing spec proposals for Nokia’s coherent optical modules, identifying yield concerns and proposing resolutions. Understand how these requirements filter back to specs on the key components including the photonic integrated circuit (PIC) and high-speed driver/TIA. • Perform statistical data analysis on large data sets to characterize and improve product capability • Identify opportunities for automation of analyses and general work-flow tasks • Maintain product engineering infrastructure (such as customer-facing specs) and ensure traceability to the manufacturing line. • Drive improvements in product quality during pilot ramp and identify opportunities to increase product volumes and/or reduce cost. • M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering (electronics, electro-optics, communications), Materials Science, Photonics, or Physics (optics, semiconductors) • Experience with coherent optical system test and measurement methods and debug is desirable. • Aptitude to work with a large body of data, perform statistical analysis, and comfortable presenting data and proposals to technical audiences • Team oriented with ability to work cross-functionally • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
