EDVT Test Engineer

creates the optical interconnection technologies that power AI infrastructure-from 100Mbit/s to 1.6Tbit/s modules. As optics are the critical backbone of AI infrastructure, our team is at the forefront of this evolution, ensuring seamless integration of high-performance modules across vast portfolio of switches and systems. In this role, you own failure analysis and complex problem-solving across our transceiver and platform testing-driving root cause analysis and corrective action on issues that block product development. This is hands-on work that requires both technical depth and the ability to think through hard problems under pressure., * Perform system-level hardware EDVT to validate optical interconnects and pluggable transceivers.

• Implement optimal test processes and strategies across multiple platforms to ensure data integrity and analysis

• Find and debug complex hardware failures and drive root-cause analysis using system logs and controlled experiments

• Execute hands-on test implementation, configuration, and testing on multiple platforms

• Develop and maintain test automation for EDVT and control test setups. Execute test scripts to scale testing efficiency, maximize test coverage, and improve data analysis

• Collaborate with cross-functional project teams and supply base throughout product development
