Photonic Integrated Circuit Wafer Level Burn-In Engineer

We engineer Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) end to end - design, development, and rigorous testing - inside a truly vertically integrated model. Join Nokia Network Infrastructure (NI) California as PIC Test Development Engineer, creating and implementing SW and HW solutions for both R&D and large throughput, production level testing of complex PICs! Partnering closely with internal manufacturing and leveraging our own world-class wafer fabs, we translate cutting edge photonics into production grade optical modules that power the next generation of optical networks and interconnects of AI applications.
