About the role
•
We are looking for a hands-on, lab-centric person to own system-level bringup and debug of our electro-optical hardware – a complex system of mixed-signal ASICs, photonic modules, DSP chips, and power management ICs. Your core strength: methodically isolating problems and localizing them to a specific component or subsystem. Potential to grow into a module lead role.
What you’ll do
•
Lead PCB and system-level bringup, first power-on through functional validation
•
Isolate failures in a complex system of mixed-signal ASICs, photonics, DSP chips, and power management ICs, localizing each issue to a specific component or subsystem
•
Debug hardware/firmware interactions and analog circuit behavior using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers
•
Perform signal integrity and power integrity measurements; localize sources of noise and cross-talk
•
Drive failure analysis on prototype and production units; turn findings into corrective actions
•
Validate chip-to-board communication (I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO)
•
Build test plans with clear pass/fail criteria and Python automation for lab and production testing
•
Support offshore manufacturing partners on assembly validation, calibration, and production test
