NPI/R&D Engineer – High-Speed Digital & Optical Test Systems

About the role

We are looking for a highly motivated NPI/R&D Engineer to lead the development and commercialization of next‑generation test and measurement products for high‑speed digital and optical communication systems. The role combines research, product validation, and new‑product introduction across the full product lifecycle.

Key responsibilities

• Research, design, and optimize sampling oscilloscopes, Time Domain Reflectometers (TDRs) and Bit Error Ratio Testers (BERTs).
• Collaborate with hardware, software, firmware, optics, systems, manufacturing and marketing teams.
• Characterize and analyze high‑speed electrical and optical communication channels.
• Investigate signal‑integrity issues, timing recovery, jitter, noise, and channel impairments.
• Develop verification and validation strategies, test plans, and qualification procedures.
• Execute tests, analyse results, produce data‑driven engineering reports and drive root‑cause analysis.
• Support manufacturing transfer and ensure production readiness.
• Design and implement DSP algorithms for equalization, clock & data recovery, adaptive filtering and jitter analysis.
• Create MATLAB‑based tools for automation, data acquisition, signal processing and visualization.
• Define product specifications, performance metrics and contribute to datasheet documentation.

Required profile

• Strong background in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and analog/mixed‑signal electronics.
• Excellent MATLAB programming skills.
• Hands‑on experience with high‑speed electrical signaling and fiber‑optic communication technologies.
• Proven ability to solve complex system‑level signal‑integrity problems.
• Experience working in multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout product development.
