Optoelectronics R&D Technical Leader

Design and develop hybrid RF-optics products, such as RF-over-fiber modules, optical transceivers, or photonic RF signal processors, optimizing for bandwidth, signal integrity, and power efficiency.

Knowledge in the RF and optical subsystems modeling and simulation result from tools like ADS, HFSS, or Zemax to predict performance and refine designs.

Understand the design of integrated RF components (e.g., amplifiers, mixers) with optical elements (e.g., modulators, photodetectors) to create cohesive, high-functioning assemblies.

Perform hands-on testing and validation of prototypes, using RF test equipment (e.g., network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, BERT) and optical tools (e.g., power meters, OTDRs, scope, VOA, optical switch).

Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to RF-optical interactions, such as impedance matching, noise reduction, or optical loss.

Collaborate with product managers and manufacturing teams to ensure designs are scalable, cost-effective, and compliant with industry standards (e.g., ITU, MIL-STD).

Document design specifications, test procedures, and performance data to support development milestones and production transitions.

Research emerging RF-optics technologies and materials to enhance product capabilities and maintain a competitive edge.

4+ years of experience in optoelectronic transceiver product design, with a focus on integrated RF-optics systems.

Familiar with RF design tools (e.g., Keysight ADS, Ansys HFSS) and optical simulation software (e.g., Zemax, OptiSystem).

Hands-on experience with RF and optical test equipment, including signal generators, vector network analyzers, BER tester, and optical spectrum analyzers.

Strong knowledge of RF principles (e.g., modulation, impedance, EMI) and optoelectronic concepts (e.g., fiber optics, laser diodes, dispersion).

Ability to analyze and solve complex technical challenges at the intersection of RF and optical domains.

Excellent organizational and communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and technical documentation.
