About the role

Social networking, machine learning, and big data analytics demand ever-increasing network connectivity. RANOVUS, with operations in Ottawa, Canada, Nuremberg, Germany, and San Jose, USA, is a solution provider for the next generation data center infrastructures. We aim to deliver advanced technology that minimizes environmental impact through lower power dissipation.

Working with world class fabrication partners, RANOVUS is the leader in the application of unique new technologies to fiber-optic communications products for data centers.

We are seeking a motivated and talented Optical Engineer to join our Optical System Integration/ Verification team. The successful candidate would implement and test electrical and optical hardware/system for leading-edge optical communication modules for customer delivery.

Responsibilities include:

  • Collaborate with multi-functional groups (photonics, hardware and software) to bring-up, validate, debug, calibrate, optimize and characterize optical engine performance.
  • Understand product requirements, define test objectives, and develop detailed optical performance test plans that outline test strategies, scope, configurations, deliverables, and schedules.
  • Establish complex lab setups using various high-speed electrical/optical lab equipment (oscilloscope, network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, BERT, etc.).
  • Design, develop and maintain automated test scripts to adjust operating conditions of the device and capture the measurement data.
  • Root-causes analysis of optical performance issues through lab experimentation and collaboration with design teams.
  • Create test reports that summarize test results, key findings, and bug fixes.
  • Support interworking between AE and the R&D team and the marketing team.
  • Collaborate with external instrument vendors for equipment procurement and ensure seamless software and control integration.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Optical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 2 to 5 years relevant work experience on optical systems or opto-electronics devices (lasers, detectors, modulators, transceivers).
  • Knowledge of optical systems and components, digital communication systems, HW, PCB, SW/FW.
  • Experience in Python or Matlab script languages.
  • Experience in a lab environment including troubleshooting issues.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Desirable skills:

  • Knowledge of very high-speed interconnects (electrical and optical) for Ethernet, PCIe/CXL etc.
  • Exposure to programming and debugging embedded software on microcontrollers.

If you have a passion for technology and innovation and want to be part of a team pushing the boundaries, we encourage you to apply.

Ranovus is an equal opportunity employer.
