Senior/Staff PIC Test Development Engineer

Description

Imagine being part of a team that is fundamentally changing the way people communicate, the way they collaborate, the way they watch TV and explore the universe through the internet.

Utilizing Infinera’s uniquely differentiated technology, we have created a Digital Optical Networking system with higher speed, more capacity and scalability than ever before.

Imagine a world with unlimited bandwidth. The network of tomorrow will allow for content and creativity limited only by the imaginations of its users.

If this is something that interests you, that excites you, come take a look at a team that is achieving that, where an idea today can be set in motion tomorrow.

Infinera Optical Module Group (OMG) is looking for an individual to engage in product test development. The individual is responsible for PIC (Photonic Integrated Circuits) devices characterization in the production phase or during the development phase.

Come take a look at Infinera!!

Senior / Staff PIC Test Development Engineer

Sunnyvale, CA.

Join Infinera California as a PIC Test Development Engineer, creating and implementing SW and HW solutions for large-scale, production-level complex photonic integrated circuits (PICs) testing!
