System Integration Engineer

Description We are looking for an experienced, hands-on System Integration Engineer focused primarily on full optical-module integration and testing with various customer platforms. The role also covers bring-up and debugging from the silicon and board level to DSP and complete system solutions. It combines laboratory work, root-cause investigation, intermediate Python/MATLAB automation, and cross-functional collaboration. Requirements Responsibilities • Execute PCB bring-up procedures and validate boards for ASIC revisions. • Validate EVBs, reference designs, and optical modules. • Perform full optical-module testing and integration with customer platforms. • Develop and execute validation plans, test procedures, and regression tests. • Debug complex hardware, firmware, and system-level issues. • Validate power, clock, reset, and high-speed interfaces, including SerDes and optical links. • Develop Python/MATLAB automation for validation, characterization, and regression testing. • Operate and automate laboratory measurement equipment. • Analyze BER, eye quality, signal integrity, power consumption, and thermal behavior. • Work with hardware, firmware, and software teams to resolve system issues. • Characterize analog blocks, DACs, ADCs, PLLs, power supplies, and monitoring circuitry. • Review schematics and identify board-level issues. • Prepare validation reports and document debugging findings. • Support customer evaluations and reproduce customer-reported issues. • Prepare and deliver product demonstrations for customers. • Collaborate with customers, external partners, and vendors during integration activities. Required Qualifications • B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent. • 6+ years of experience in hardware, system validation, or system integration. • Strong laboratory skills and experience with electronic measurement equipment. • Experience debugging complex electronic systems. • Intermediate Python proficiency for automation and data analysis. • Good understanding of digital interfaces and embedded systems. • Experience in digital signal processing (DSP) and communication systems. • Familiarity with power sequencing, voltage regulators, clocks, and reset architectures. • Ability to read schematics and perform board-level debugging. • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. • Excellent communication and documentation skills. • Fluent English. • Availability to work fully on-site, five days per week. Preferred Qualifications • Experience with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, and SerDes. • Experience with coherent optical DSPs. • Familiarity with CMIS, OIF, or OpenROADM specifications. • Understanding of Signal Integrity and Power Integrity. • Experience validating mixed-signal ASICs. • Experience with analog calibration techniques. • Experience with MATLAB/Python. • Experience working in multidisciplinary engineering teams. Personal Attributes • Hands-on and proactive. • Curious and driven to investigate root causes. • Strong ownership and accountability. • Excellent teamwork and communication skills. • Able to manage multiple activities in a fast-paced environment. • Detail-oriented, with a systematic approach to debugging.
