About the Role: We are looking for skilled and motivated engineers to join our team and help us build optical transceivers for next-generation optical modems. The ideal candidate must have a strong theoretical background in coding theory, digital communications, and error correction techniques, with experience developing high-performance forward error correction (FEC) algorithms for high-speed communication systems. Candidates with industry experience are preferred.
Key Responsibilities- Research, develop, and evaluate forward error correction (FEC) schemes for high-speed optical communication systems.
- Design and optimize soft-decision FEC algorithms suitable for high-throughput optical modem implementations.
- Develop and evaluate coding schemes such as LDPC, staircase codes, or related high-performance FEC architectures.
- Model and simulate FEC performance in optical communication systems, including interaction with DSP blocks and channel impairments.
- Analyze performance trade-offs including coding gain, latency, throughput, and implementation complexity.
- Develop floating-point and fixed-point simulation models for algorithm verification.
- Implement bit-accurate and cycle-accurate models supporting ASIC implementation.
- Collaborate closely with DSP, ASIC, firmware, and verification teams to ensure efficient hardware implementation.
- Document algorithm design and simulation results.
Preferred Qualifications- Master's or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- Strong background in coding theory and error correction algorithms.
- Experience with FEC schemes for communication systems, particularly soft-decision FEC.
- Familiarity with LDPC, staircase codes, product codes, or related modern FEC techniques.
- Experience evaluating coding gain, BER performance, and decoder complexity.
- Programming experience in C/C++, Python, MATLAB, or similar languages.
- Experience in modeling communication systems.
- Familiarity with DSP algorithms for communication systems.
- Experience with version control systems, specifically GitHub.
- Familiarity with hardware implementation considerations and languages such as Verilog or VHDL is a plus.
- Team player with a mindset focused on the successful delivery of the first product.
Salary Range$150,000 - $250,000 Base Annually
The final offer will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, and location.
