What You Can Expect
Own the end-to-end architecture and performance of the electro-optical transmit path: from the electrical driver interface, through the PIC and package, to the optical output (at 400G/lane CPO and beyond)
Define and partition system-level specifications and budgets across the digital, analog, electro-optical domains; translate link targets (BER, SNR/OSNR, OMA, TDECQ) into component-level requirements
Model and predict end-to-end optical link performance via eye diagrams, constellation diagrams, and impairment analysis, and quantify how equalization and DSP (FFE, DFE, CTLE, and coherent DSP functions) shape achievable performance
Support co-design and technical alignment across photonics, analog/ASIC design, and packaging teams to optimize performance, power efficiency, and signal integrity.
Plan, execute, and lead characterization and qualification of electro-optical components and integrated systems; define test methodologies and acceptance criteria
Analyze measurement data to identify performance limitations; lead root-cause analysis of complex signal integrity issues across electrical and optical domains, and translate findings into design improvements
Represent system-level requirements in architecture and interface definition; ensure designs align with industry standards (IEEE 802.3, OIF CEI) and customer specifications
