System Integration & Validation Engineer

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on System Integration Engineer focused primarily on full optical-module testing and integration with various customer platforms.

The role also covers bring-up, validation, and debugging from silicon and board level through complete system solutions. It combines laboratory work, root-cause investigation, intermediate Python/MATLAB automation, and cross-functional collaboration.

Requirements:

Responsibilities

• Execute silicon bring-up and validate boards for new ASIC revisions.

• Validate EVBs, reference designs, and optical modules.

• Perform full optical-module testing and integration with customer platforms.

• Develop and execute validation plans, test procedures, and regression tests.

• Debug complex hardware, firmware, and system-level issues.

• Validate power, clock, reset, and high-speed interfaces, including SerDes and optical links.

• Develop Python/MATLAB automation for validation, characterization, and regression testing.

• Operate and automate laboratory measurement equipment.

• Analyze BER, eye quality, signal integrity, power consumption, and thermal behavior.

• Work with hardware, firmware, and software teams to resolve system issues.

• Characterize analog blocks, DACs, ADCs, PLLs, power supplies, and monitoring circuitry.

• Review schematics and identify board-level issues.

• Prepare validation reports and document debugging findings.

• Support customer evaluations and reproduce customer-reported issues.

• Prepare and deliver product demonstrations for customers.

• Collaborate with customers, external partners, and vendors during integration activities.

Required Qualifications

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.

• 6+ years of experience in hardware, system validation, or system integration.

• Strong laboratory skills and experience with electronic measurement equipment.

• Experience debugging complex electronic systems.

• Intermediate Python proficiency for automation and data analysis.

• Good understanding of digital interfaces and embedded systems.

• Experience in digital signal processing (DSP) and communication systems.

• Familiarity with power sequencing, voltage regulators, clocks, and reset architectures.

• Ability to read schematics and perform board-level debugging.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Excellent communication and documentation skills.

• Fluent English.

• Availability to work fully on-site, five days per week.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, and SerDes.

• Experience with coherent optical DSPs.

• Familiarity with CMIS, OIF, or OpenROADM specifications.

• Understanding of Signal Integrity and Power Integrity.

• Experience validating mixed-signal ASICs.

• Experience with analog calibration techniques.

• Experience with MATLAB/Python.

• Experience working in multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Personal Attributes

• Hands-on and proactive.

• Curious and driven to investigate root causes.

• Strong ownership and accountability.

• Excellent teamwork and communication skills.

• Able to manage multiple activities in a fast-paced environment.

• Detail-oriented, with a systematic approach to debugging.
