R&D Elektro – Optischer Testarchitekt (m/w/d)

ficonTEC Service GmbH is an innovative high-tech company that has quickly established itself in a highly specialized market since 2001. With continuous growth and innovative development, we are a recognized market leader in the automated assembly and testing of optoelectronic components and (hybrid) photonic devices. Our company develops advanced solutions such as high-precision die bonding, fiber alignment, and laser soldering systems, which are critical for manufacturing cutting-edge photonic devices like LiDAR sensors, high-speed data transceivers, and silicon photonics. These technologies are paving the way for advancements in telecommunications, autonomous vehicles, and medical diagnostics.

Our company-wide goal is to set up top-notch technology that facilitates our customers from around the world in building tomorrow’s optoelectronic devices. We believe in equal opportunity, with employees committed to diversity and inclusion, offering a vibrant working environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Operate instrumentation for Pulse Pattern Generators, sourcing desired data rates and patterns common in the datacom/telecom industry.
• Process and handle jitter stimuli when components are stressed.
• Measure telecom/datacom transmission errors using Bit Error Rate Detectors (BERT) and analyze bathtub curves.
• Test and understand forward error correction (FEC).
• Conduct S-Parameter multi-port measurements as it applies to packaged devices, chips, and wafer-level tests.
• Calibrate a VNA with through, load, open, and shorts to de-embed transmission lines and/or probes.
• Utilize Optical and RF Spectrum Analyzers.
• Operate oscilloscopes and guide programmers on performing eye diagrams and extracting parameters such as Optical Modulation Amplitude (OMA), Extinction Ratio (ER), Optical and Electrical Rise/Fall Times, and Overshoot/Undershoot.
• Implement clock recovery and external triggering techniques.

Your Profile:

• Graduate engineer in physics, electrical engineering, or related field.
• Specialization in high-speed fiber optic and hybrid electrical/optical high frequency testing.
• Jitter measurement capability with a true understanding of contribution sources such as random, deterministic, and others.
• Experience in the operation and automation of laser sources, power meters, polarization controllers, optical switches, and variable optical attenuators.
• ATE user experience (Teradyne, NI and/or Advantest).
• Experience with component characterization (laser and photodiodes).
• Ability to interpret customer requirements and interface with a team of engineers to develop novel architectures for production test topologies.
• Willingness for international business travel (max. 20% of the working time).

We Offer:

• The possibility to shape the future of photonics assembly.
• Daycare allowance for children up to the age of 3.
• Company fitness programs.
• Company pension scheme.
• Opportunities for technical and personal development.
• Exciting, international clients from a wide range of industries.
• Onboarding program and individual support.
• Annual employee appraisals for targeted and individual development.
• Short decision-making processes, the opportunity to get involved, change things, and utilize new technologies.
• Employee discounts (e.g., City for two, benefits app).
• Regular company events (e.g., summer party, Christmas party, B2Run).
