Jobs at Ciena

Develops NPI test strategies, automated test sequences, test stations, fixtures, specifications, and debugging tools for networking products. Advises development teams on design for manufacturability and testability, resolves technical issues, trains contract manufacturers, and drives continuous improvement to improve quality, scalability, manufacturing efficiency, and time-to-market.

Develop and maintain automated optical component test systems for manufacturing. Responsibilities include test instrumentation selection, test station design, troubleshooting, failure analysis, root-cause investigations, yield improvement, test-time and cost reduction, and deployment of test systems at manufacturing partner sites. The role requires optical testing expertise, MATLAB or Python experience, familiarity with optical test instruments, and fluency in English and French.

Design and validate silicon photonics chips for high-speed optical transmitters and receivers, focusing on performance, cost, and reliability. Collaborate on circuit layouts, lead design reviews, support prototyping, and drive continuous improvements in product lifecycle performance.

Perform optical and electrical testing of photonic and electronic components, assemble opto‑mechanical prototypes, analyze and document test data, recommend corrective actions, improve lab processes and tools, develop inspection/test procedures, and support new product introduction and product enhancements.

Design opto-mechanical photonic components: perform mechanical, thermal and stress modeling; define specifications with optical/RF teams; plan and analyze DOEs; optimize designs for high-volume manufacturing; document and transfer designs to production while leading design reviews and cross-functional interactions.
