We are part of the global engineering team at NVIDIA that designs state-of-the-art GPUs for all applications, such as supercomputers, gaming consoles, and self-driving cars. Come join us in our mission to Engineer the next generation of best-in-class products. Our team's focus is on the architecture and design of CMOS and Silicon-Photonics high-speed chip interfaces (NVLink, IEEE, PCIE, USB, OIF) and other complex photonic functions.

We are seeking a senior level, self-driven professional with proven expertise to develop leading-edge test solutions for silicon photonics (SiPh) integrated circuit designs in the growing data center and high-performance computing markets. The successful candidate shall be recognized by their peers as a technical leader in the area and demonstrate the ability to develop novel test solutions and provide strategic technology leadership. You will have the opportunity to work on developing high-speed active and passive photonics components, and contribute to the development of the next-generation photonics program. In addition, you will be the lead technical engineer to help to identifying timely solutions to achieving program goals.

What You Will Be Doing:

  • Develop Silicon Photonic test stations and automation.

  • Lead the optical test hardware engineering.

  • Collaborate with photonic device designers and product development leads.

  • Work with other test engineering and design validation teams to perform full test and device characterization of silicon photonic devices.

  • Partner with module developers and design teams to do electro-optical testing of the modules.

  • Work on laser package testing.

  • Collaborate with external vendors to ensure timely development and delivery of wafers, equipment and other hardware.

  • Work closely with hardware and software teams on functionality, interfaces, and documentation.

What We Need To See:

  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a similar discipline with 5+ overall years of working experience in a related field. Or master in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a similar discipline with 8+ overall years of working experience in a related field on optical systems or opto-electronics devices.

  • In-depth knowledge of photonic device physics, semiconductor laser, and device physics.

  • Extensive experience optical system testing, wafer probers and module testing.

  • Strong experience with data analysis and device characterization.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
