About the role

We are working on behalf of a very fast-growing maker of Fiber Optic Connectivity products for Data Centers. They are starting up a group focused on Co-Packaged Optics (CPO), extending their products deeper into AI Data Centers and working with Optical Engine technology and highly integrated Optoelectronic components. We are looking for an Optoelectronics Engineer who will help lead development of the Optical Module from concept through production. The engineer will work on technology selection, architecture, design, integration and productization of the CPO solution.

QUALIFICATIONS: Should have experience with high-speed Optical Devices such as Lasers, Photodetectors, Modulators, and Integrated Optical components, along with a strong understanding of Silicon Photonics, Semiconductor Physics and Optical-Electronic integration. We are looking for a BS in Optics or Electrical Engineering and 3+ years of hands-on experience developing high-speed Optical Modules. Experience with PAM transmission, 2.5D/3D Optical-Electronic integration and Si/CMOS/MEMS technologies would be valuable. This is a hands-on role with significant technical ownership and the opportunity to help build the company’s new CPO product family. ***We can also consider a student with an Advanced degree in Photonics, Optical Engineering, or a related field if they have 3 years of experience.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
