Senior Principal Validation Engineer, Vcsel Optical Interconnect Test Platforms
Overview
In this role you drive validation for a VCSEL-based optical interconnect program, shaping test platforms and measurement methods across global labs.
You collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to bring up and validate high-speed hardware from first silicon to tape-out.
You'll design platforms, automate tests, and mentor engineers while partnering with optics vendors to ensure robust signal integrity and performance.
This is a hands-on, leadership-focused position with meaningful impact on next-gen data-center interconnects.
