Original job description

Job Title: Senior Hardware Design Engineer Optical TransceiversJob DescriptionThis role leads the electrical hardware design of next-generation optical transceiver products for 1.2T and 1.6T optical networking platforms supporting critical hyperscale customer programs. You will serve as the primary owner of complex PCB-based hardware designs, driving the full lifecycle from architecture and schematic capture through PCB layout oversight, validation, and product release. You will work with minimal supervision while collaborating closely with RF, firmware, mechanical, PCB layout, manufacturing, and test teams to deliver high-performance, reliable optical networking hardware.

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary electrical owner for new optical transceiver hardware programs, ensuring technical excellence and on-time delivery.
Lead board-level hardware architecture and detailed hardware design activities for 1.2T and 1.6T optical networking platforms.
Develop complete electrical schematics from scratch using PADS schematic capture tools.
Evaluate, select, and qualify critical electronic components, including high-performance digital, analog, and RF devices.
Review and interpret complex component datasheets to ensure proper device usage and performance.
Design high-speed digital and analog circuits that meet stringent performance and reliability requirements.
Support RF signal path design and optimization for high-speed communications and optical transceiver applications.
Develop robust power distribution and power supply architectures, including high-performance power supply design.
Apply best practices for signal integrity and power integrity across high-speed board-level designs.
Own PCB hardware design from concept through release, including requirements definition, design reviews, and design sign-off.
Work closely with internal PCB layout designers, providing detailed layout guidance and constraints for high-speed interfaces.
Ensure proper routing and stack-up for high-speed RF and digital interfaces, including designs with bandwidths exceeding 100 GHz where applicable.
Validate thermal, power, and signal integrity considerations during PCB layout and design verification.
Partner with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and test teams to ensure seamless integration and manufacturability of hardware designs.
Participate actively in cross-functional design reviews and engineering evaluations, presenting design decisions and trade-offs.
Support troubleshooting and validation activities at the board and system level, including root-cause analysis of hardware issues.
Perform analysis and validation of hardware designs, including lab bring-up, measurements, and correlation to simulations.
Support simulation and modeling activities using tools such as CST and SPICE to verify signal integrity, power integrity, and RF performance.
Ensure products meet customer specifications, performance targets, and reliability requirements throughout the development lifecycle.
Contribute technical expertise to continuous improvement of design methodologies, tools, and best practices for high-speed optical networking hardware.

Essential Skills

At least 5+ years of hardware design experience in board-level electronics.
Proven experience leading board-level hardware development efforts from concept to release.
Strong digital circuit design experience, including high-speed digital design.
Strong analog circuit design experience for complex board-level systems.
Hands-on experience developing schematics from scratch using professional EDA tools, preferably PADS.
Experience selecting, evaluating, and qualifying electronic components for high-performance designs.
Experience working closely with PCB layout teams and conducting thorough PCB design reviews.
Experience with high-performance power supply design and power distribution architectures.
Ability to read, interpret, and apply complex component datasheets in design decisions.
Solid knowledge of high-speed digital design principles and best practices.
Understanding of RF fundamentals and their application in board-level hardware.
Working knowledge of signal integrity concepts for high-speed interfaces.
Working knowledge of power integrity concepts for complex power distribution networks.
Experience with board-level architecture development for communications or networking systems.
Background in one or more of the following industries: telecommunications hardware, optical networking, fiber optics, optical communications, high-speed communications systems, or networking infrastructure.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience with optical transceiver hardware design is highly preferred.
Experience with DCO optical modules is highly preferred.
Experience working with DSP-based communication systems is highly preferred.
Experience supporting optical communication products or platforms is highly preferred.
High-speed RF design experience, particularly for advanced communications systems.
Familiarity with CST simulation software for electromagnetic and RF analysis.
Experience using PADS for schematic capture in production hardware designs.
Experience with SPICE-based simulation tools for circuit-level analysis.
Experience working with designs that consider bandwidths exceeding 100 GHz.
Experience integrating optical components into board-level designs.
Experience with telecom hardware deployed in hyperscale data center or cloud environments.
Experience designing or supporting 1.2T and 1.6T class networking products.
Hands-on design verification and simulation experience across digital, analog, RF, and power domains.
