About the position
The candidate is responsible to implement, characterize, and execute electronics hardware improvements involving precision analog and high-speed digital design activities in support of the Optical Communication Group's product. We expect the candidate to have a design background in mixed-signal circuit design. The chosen individual will design board level opto-electronic circuits addressing high speed OE (opto-electronic) conversion and well as low noise signal detection. Work will be focused on OTDR (optical time domain reflectometer) and OPS (optical protection switch) circuit designs and improvements.
Responsibilities
- Implement, characterize, and execute electronics hardware improvements.
- Design board level opto-electronic circuits for high speed OE conversion and low noise signal detection.
- Learn, understand, and document the electronic requirements of the optical design.
- Design suitable circuitry with precision analog electronics, high speed signal converters, and FPGA interface.
- Assist in deriving PCBA and electronic component specifications for the electronic sub-system.
- Specify FPGA code for signal processing, computational, and interface elements in collaboration with the system architect.
- Guide the layout for complex mixed-signal circuit boards and implement prototype and final hardware release.
- Perform Electronics Design Verification Testing and ensure specification compliance under normal conditions at design corners.
- Conduct numerical analysis of test data for compliance with specifications.
Requirements
- MS in Electrical Engineering or Physics; advanced educational qualifications are a plus.
- 5 to 10 years of experience in mixed signal circuit design, bring-up, and debug.
- Skilled in the design of optical receivers and transmitters for low to medium speed applications.
- Experience in low noise optical circuit design and analog to digital conversion (with FPGA and/or MCU interface).
- Skilled in the use of circuit modelling such as SPICE, ADS, and MATLAB.
- Ability to work highly independently with minimal guidance from supervisor on specific tasks.
- Familiarity with FPGA or CPLD is a plus.
- Ability to work efficiently in a high pressure fast turnaround program.
