What You'll Do
Cisco is looking for a Senior Optical Component Engineer to lead optical device and assembly process qualification for Cisco's optical transport and optical transceiver products. You'll work closely with both Cisco internal design teams to assess, develop and qualify suppliers and technologies for wavelength line management (WLM) and optical transceivers. Primary responsibilities include technical assessment of optical suppliers and next-generation technologies, material systems, packaging solutions, and quality/reliability; conducting design and process reviews and audits to ensure design robustness, quality and manufacturing readiness; assessing reliability risk and developing and executing qualification plans; resolving technical issues; owning the quality, reliability and manufacturability of WLM line cards, subsystems, circuit packs, optical sub-modules, daughter cards and optical transceivers from design to end-of-life; partnering with global supply management teams to develop commodity strategy and influence technology and supplier selection; assessing critical issues and driving product/component failure analysis, containment and corrective actions; managing and developing suppliers' quality.
Who You’ll Work With
You will work closely with a network of Cisco optical suppliers and internal teams to guide optical transceiver, module and transport product qualification, module assembly and to manage quality issues. You will operate in a highly collaborative, cross‑functional environment that includes engineering, operations and supply chain teams to develop next‑generation optical transport and transceiver technologies within Cisco. The role has a large scope, cross‑organizational visibility and the potential to influence critical technology development and commodity strategy for Cisco's product platforms.
Who You Are
Wavelength Management (WLM) Technology : Design, assembly and reliability of line cards, subsystems, circuit packs, daughter cards and their constituent sub‑modules (EDFA, DGE, WXC, OTDR, OCM, OSC) and sub‑components (tunable lasers, high‑power laser pumps, TOSA/ROSA, SFP, AAWGs).
Optical Transceiver Technology : Design, assembly and reliability of active and passive optical components and sub‑assemblies including gain chip, laser diode, photodiode, tunable laser/uITLA/nITLA, single and multi‑function passive assemblies (WDM, iWDM, TOF‑VOA).
Optical component‑level failure analysis and manufacturing/reliability‑related issues. Technical knowledge of optoelectronics, circuit pack/module assembly processes, manufacturing and reliability qualification experience is mandatory. You have proven ability working in multi‑functional teams and with external suppliers/partners. Good communication, project management and influencing skills.
We expect you to have a MS (minimum) or PhD (preferred) in an engineering/technical field (Optical Engineering is highly preferred) with a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience in optics.
Minimum Requirements
- BS/MS/PhD (graduate degree preferred) in Optical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science or a similar field, preferably with a focus on opto‑electronics, optical materials, etc. and at least 8+ years of experience.
- Good understanding of the design, working principles, physics, reliability and common failure modes of optical sub‑assemblies, components and semiconductors (e.g. WXC, EDFA, DGE, AAWGs, tunable filters, APDs, TOSA/ROSA, tunable lasers/uITLA/nITLA, etc.) and multi‑function passive components (e.g. WDM, iWDM, TOF‑VOA).
- Desirable skills include the ability to troubleshoot optical device reliability issues, assembly process issues, experience with 8D or model‑based problem solving, knowledge of statistical process control, facility with data analysis.
- Knowledge of optical component and semiconductor failure analysis techniques.
- Experience in resolving design/manufacturing (reliability‑related) issues.
- Good understanding of reliability engineering and quality metrics.
- Proven ability to work within a cross‑functional environment and with external suppliers.
- Excellent communication, data presentation and influencing skills.
