If you are curious about the dynamics of a Deeptech startup dealing with scientific innovation, solving challenging technical problems and doing impactful work, consider joining the team!

Responsibilities

System Architecture & Design

• Design RF system architectures for high-speed optical links, ensuring signal integrity and performance optimization.
• Define and specify electrical interfaces between optical components (lasers, detectors) and electronic subsystems.
• Develop system-level specifications that bridge component-level performance with integrated link requirements.
• Design and optimize laser driver circuits and photodiode readout electronics for high-performance optical links.

Testing & Validation

• Conduct system-level characterization and performance verification against specifications
• Participate in the development and validation of models for architecture-level simulations.
• Analyze test results to identify performance bottlenecks and drive design improvements

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Work closely with photonics engineers to translate optical component specifications into system-level electrical requirements
• Collaborate with product team to ensure technical feasibility and manufacturability of designs
• Support integration activities and provide technical expertise during product development phases

Requirements

Qualifications

• Education: Engineer, Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field
• Experience: We are looking for a Senior profile (5-10 years of experience) with a strong industrial mindset, and relevant experience in electronic system design. Preferably in optical communications or high-speed interconnect systems or related field. While a PhD is valued, it is not mandatory if compensated by significant industrial R&D experience.
