Principal Optical Systems Engineer
About the Role
We are seeking a Principal Optical Systems Engineer to join our newly established optical system verification team at Celero Inc. The successful candidate will help lead system integration and validation of advanced coherent optical DSP solutions. Key areas of focus include defining system specifications, delivering test strategies for DSP and optical integration, supporting firmware solutions to resolve integration challenges in pluggable modules, and driving cross-domain debugging and optimization across DSP, optics, and hardware. You will also help shape architecture and next-generation product direction (1.6T and beyond).
This role requires deep expertise in communication theory, DSP algorithms, and optical systems, combined with strong leadership in defining validation methodologies and resolving complex cross-functional issues.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with the DSP systems group to translate high-level system requirements into DSP performance targets for equalization, clock recovery, and laser frequency and phase recovery
- Establish link budgets based on DSP specifications to set performance targets for optical components and work with module partners to optimize link margin
