Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Optical Network Engineer to lead Laser related work within our optical interconnect efforts for large-scale compute systems. The role also requires broad, hands-on optical validation experience across IM/DD-based interconnects, working from lab characterization through production readiness and scaled deployment.

In this role, you will drive laser-focused requirements and technical direction within the broader optical interconnect roadmap. You will lead evaluation and validation of optical components and subsystems, including laser-based elements, in lab and production-representative environments. You will support end-to-end optical testing for IM/DD interconnects (e.g., module/system bring-up, characterization, debug, and readiness for scale).

You will work with external partners to align on development milestones, performance targets, and quality expectations. You will own technical issue triage and resolution across performance, reliability, and manufacturability topics. You will collaborate across internal teams to support integration, rollout, and operational success at scale.

Strong experience in laser-focused optical engineering (development, validation, manufacturing readiness, or field support) is required. A broad hands-on background with IM/DD optical technologies and optical test/debug workflows is also necessary. Experience working with external suppliers/manufacturing partners and production-oriented execution is preferred. Demonstrated ability to debug complex technical issues using data-driven methods is required. Clear written and verbal communication and the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders are also essential.
