About The Position

The Product Engineer for Optical Transceiver Modules will work on products in one or more transceiver form factors used in data and telecommunication applications. The Product Engineer will interface closely with design engineers during product development to understand the design and help to produce alpha/beta customer samples from the pilot line. Concurrently, the Product Engineer will work extensively with software and hardware engineers to develop the test process and test systems used to test the optical modules once released into production. The Product Engineer will define test parameters based on product and design specifications. Once product design is frozen, the Product Engineer will be in charge of transferring the product manufacturing and testing to overseas manufacturing facility. The Product Engineer will also interface with sales and product marketing teams to ensure accurate product customization. The PE has the cradle-to-grave ownership of the assigned products including, but not limited to, the test procedures and scripts, process flow, product cost model, and debug tree etc. The Product Engineer must take initiatives, be well organized, and be highly motivated to solve issues in a timely manner.
