Systems Engineer - Co-Packaged Optics

We are seeking a Systems Engineer to own a die-level electro-optical functional test platform end-to-end. This technical leadership role involves setting the architecture, driving vendor development, qualifying the platform at manufacturing partners, and being the escalation point for production issues.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own an electro-optical test platform end-to-end, including architecture, specification, vendor development, integration, qualification, and deployment into high-volume manufacturing.
• Lead technical relationships with tier-one test equipment vendors, including writing specifications, driving design reviews, and holding them to results.
• Drive qualification and production ramp at manufacturing partners in Asia, focusing on throughput, uptime, GR&R, calibration stability, and yield.
• Define the optical test architecture, including active alignment, optical connector mating and cleaning, polarization control, calibration strategy, and laser safety.
• Own the platform roadmap as devices evolve, translating changes into hardware, software, and test coverage updates.
• Work cross-functionally to ensure testability and meaningful testing.
• Mentor engineers and act as the technical escalation point for production issues.

Requirements:

• BSc in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field (MSc an advantage).
• 7+ years in electro-optical or high-speed test, with at least 2 years of end-to-end platform ownership.
• Demonstrated ownership of a test platform or complex instrument from specification through qualification and into production.
• Hands-on experience with high-speed electro-optical measurement tools.
• Experience running development programs with external equipment vendors.
• Practical understanding of production tools, including cycle time, repeatability, GR&R, calibration, uptime, maintenance, and operator workflow.
• Strong debugging and root-cause skills for multidisciplinary problems.
• Ability to align and influence people across sites, vendors, and time zones.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with automated test equipment, probers, or handlers.
• Optical active alignment at production cycle times.
• Silicon photonics device knowledge.
• Applied statistics for production test, including SPC, DOE, and measurement system analysis.
