Application consultant electro-optical (transceiver) test - Center Of Expertise (m/f/d)
Your Responsibilities
Your duties
As a member of the Center of Expertise (COE) team, you will support customers and account teams across all regions in implementing cost efficient test solutions for electro optical devices-such as next generation, highly integrated SiPh/CPO transceivers-on the V93000 ATE platform. This includes working with optical and high speed digital measurement instruments as well as optical and electrical probing and handling equipment.
You will contribute to identifying and shaping emerging test requirements for electro optical transceivers, closely following industry trends such as the growing adoption of silicon photonics and co packaged optics.
You will design and implement test methodologies for the optical and electrical characterization of silicon photonics components and integrated circuits, building on and extending existing V93000 test concepts.
In close collaboration with R&D and Product Definition, you will help define economically optimized test solutions for electro optical transceiver devices.
You will prepare and support pre sales activities, including technical customer presentations and benchmark projects, together with account teams and sales.
You will actively contribute to the rollout of new V93000 electro optical test solutions to the worldwide customer base, supporting knowledge transfer and best practice sharing within the organization.
You will stay up to date with advancements in silicon photonics and optical technologies and continuously develop your expertise in this rapidly evolving field.
