High Speed Optical Product Development Engineer

TE Connectivity is a global industrial technology leader creating a safer, sustainable, productive, and connected future. The Optical Product Development Engineer will focus on designing and developing next-generation optical connectivity solutions, ensuring signal integrity and manufacturability while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Design co-packaged optics (CPO) or near-packaged optics (NPO) solutions, integrating optical interconnects tightly with high-radix ASIC subsystems to enable ultra-high bandwidth and low-latency data transmission
• Develop passive fiber connectivity solutions like FAU, optical backplane, inside-box fiber cable assembly, ELSFP modules, fiber shuffle, cassettes and fiber termination for CPO/NPO applications
• Conduct end-to-end simulations and modeling to optimize signal integrity, power efficiency, and thermal performance
• Evaluate photonic integration techniques, and semiconductor technologies to maintain a competitive advantage in CPO/NPO innovation
• Validate mechanical designs through simulation and physical testing
• Have mechanical and thermal simulation and solution experience for CPO
• Partner with ASIC, package, board, and photonics engineering teams to ensure CPO/NPO solutions are manufacturable, scalable, and aligned with system architecture requirements
• Work cross-functionally with engineering, product management, sales, and marketing teams to translate technical insights into compelling product offerings
• Design and execute fiber testing protocols including bend testing, pull testing, and environmental testing and validate products across CPO Engine, FAU, optics connectors, ELSFP, Fiber shuffle, optical backplane etc
• Analyze test data and implement design improvements based on findings
• Support customer validation and qualification processes

Skills

• Generally requires Bachelors degree in appropriate field or local equivalent
• Using best practices and knowledge of internal or external business issues to support a single product, service or process
• Providing technical support in designing advanced solutions to continuously improve system performance
• Assisting senior engineers and designers to engineer effective manufacturing processes/technology while preserving product design functionality
• Helping identify potential improvement areas and develop associated solutions
