Description

Our team is a group of professionals dedicated to accelerating innovation in high-speed optical transceiver testing.

In this role, you will design, develop, and implement automated test solutions for the characterization and reliability screening of semiconductor laser dies, such as Distributed Feedback (DFB) lasers.

Your Impact

  • Design, develop, and validate automated test systems (hardware and software) for laser die LIV characterization and Burn-In testing at wafer level.
  • Develop robust test software using languages such as Python, LabVIEW, C# to control optical and electrical instrumentation (SMUs, optical power meters, spectrometers, thermal controllers).
  • Design and optimize test fixtures, probe cards, and optical coupling interfaces for high-throughput, repeatable testing at wafer level.

Minimum Qualifications

  • BS in Computer Science, Electric Engineering, Computer Engineering, or other relevant major.
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in optoelectronic device testing, specifically with semiconductor lasers (DFB, EML, VCSEL, or Silicon Photonics).
  • Hands-on experience with optical and electrical test equipment: Source Measure Units (SMUs), Optical Spectrum Analyzers (OSAs), integrating spheres, photodetectors, and temperature controllers (TECs).
  • Strong understanding of semiconductor laser physics, optical waveguides, and reliability physics (e.g., degradation mechanisms, Arrhenius acceleration models).
  • Proven experience with LIV characterization and Burn-In (BI) system architectures.
  • Proficiency in automated test software development (specifically Python or LabVIEW).
  • Experience with wafer probers (semi-automatic or fully automatic) and optical alignment algorithms.
  • Excellent verbal and written communications skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with database queries (SQL) and data visualization tools.
  • Familiarity with high-volume manufacturing (HVM) environments and test time optimization.
  • Knowledge of silicon photonics testing and grating coupler alignment techniques
