Position Overview

The Senior Engineer, Test & Development is responsible for developing, implementing, and continuously improving test solutions for optoelectronic and photonic products from research and development through mass production. This role involves hands-on testing, data analysis, test automation, and close collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure robust, repeatable, and production-ready test processes.

Responsibilities

Develop, evaluate, and implement robust testing strategies for optoelectronic products across R&D, qualification, and high-volume manufacturing.
Develop and optimize optical, electro-optical (DC/RF), and photonic integrated circuit (PIC) testing and characterization methodologies.
Design, improve, and maintain test systems, fixtures/jigs, and measurement setups using appropriate electrical and optical laboratory instrumentation.
Develop and implement test automation, standardization, and best practices to improve test throughput, repeatability, and cost efficiency.
Perform data analysis and prepare or review test reports, GR&R studies, tester buy-off documentation, and qualification results.
Troubleshoot test and product issues, conduct validation, root-cause and failure analysis, and recommend corrective actions using advanced electrical and optical test equipment.
Collaborate with design, process, manufacturing, quality, supply-chain teams, and external partners to support product readiness, design for testability (DFT), and successful transition from development to mass production.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Photonics, or a related discipline Master's degree preferred.
5+ years of hands-on experience in electrical, optical, or optoelectronic testing within R&D and/or manufacturing environments.
Strong knowledge of electrical and optical test equipment, laboratory instrumentation, measurement techniques, and data analysis proficiency in tools such as Microsoft Excel, JMP, or equivalent.
Experience developing test automation and scripts using Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, C/C++, or similar programming languages.
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues, drive test and process improvements, communicate technical findings effectively, and collaborate with cross-functional teams experience with FPGA design and development is a plus.
