Making it manufacturable is a test problem, and there is no off-the-shelf answer: the platforms that test silicon photonics at production volume do not exist until we define them, co-develop them with the world's leading equipment vendors, and qualify them into high-volume manufacturing.\nWe are looking for a systems engineer to own one of those platforms end to end. This is a technical leadership role, not a bench role. You will own a die-level electro-optical functional test platform that is in production today and ramping - with a second source in qualification and a device roadmap that doubles its optical channel count and lane rate. You will set its architecture, drive the vendors building it, qualify it at our manufacturing partners, and be the person the organization calls when production is at risk.\nIf you have taken a complex piece of capital equipment from a specification through to a production line, and you want to do it on technology that does not exist anywhere else yet, this is that job.\nWhat you'll be doing:\n Own an electro-optical test platform end to end - architecture, specification, vendor development, integration, qualification, and deployment into high-volume manufacturing.\n Lead the technical relationship with tier-one test equipment vendors: write the specification, drive design reviews, run factory and site acceptance, and hold them to the result.\nDrive qualification and production ramp at our manufacturing partners in Asia - throughput, uptime, GR&R, calibration stability, and yield.\nDefine the optical test architecture: active alignment, optical connector mating and cleaning, polarization control, calibration strategy across a fleet of tools, and laser safety.\nOwn the platform roadmap as the devices evolve - more optical channels, higher lane rates, new packaging - and translate that into hardware, software, and test coverage changes.\nWork across device architecture, product and test engineering, operations, and the R&D teams to make sure what we build is testable and what we test is meaningful.\nMentor engineers working on the platform and act as the technical escalation point for production issues.\nWhat we need to see:\nBSc in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field (MSc an advantage).\n7+ years in electro-optical or high-speed test, including at least 2 years owning a platform, program, or major subsystem end to end.\nDemonstrated ownership of a test platform or complex instrument from specification through qualification and into production - not bring-up or characterization alone.\nHands-on depth in high-speed electro-optical measurement: BERT, high-bandwidth oscilloscope, VNA, OSA, optical power and spectral measurement, and the signal integrity that comes with 100 Gbps and above per lane.\nExperience running a development program with an external equipment vendor or subcontractor - specification, design review, FAT and SAT, acceptance criteria.\nA practical grasp of what separates a lab setup from a production tool: cycle time, repeatability, GR&R, calibration, uptime, maintenance, and operator workflow.\nStrong debugging and root-cause skills on genuinely multidisciplinary problems, where optical, electrical, mechanical, and thermal effects are all in play at once - with examples you can walk us through in detail.\nThe ability to align and influence people you do not manage, across sites, vendors, and time zones.\nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nExperience with automated test equipment, probers, or handlers - wafer-level or die-level.\nOptical active alignment at production cycle times - algorithms, accuracy budgets, or the mechanics of sub-micron alignment in seconds rather than minutes.\nSilicon photonics device knowledge: ring modulators, grating couplers, photodiodes, fiber array units, and laser sources.\nApplied statistics for production test - SPC, DOE, measurement system analysis, and capability studies - using JMP or equivalent to drive GR&R, correlation, and yield decisions.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4098,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","Servers & Data Center Hardware","Computer Components","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T10:22:54Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T13:38:17Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nvidia-senior-test-platform-technical-leader-cpo","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nvidia-senior-test-platform-technical-leader-cpo.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T13:38:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":27373,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnvidia-senior-test-platform-technical-leader-cpo"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnvidia-senior-test-platform-technical-leader-cpo"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnvidia-senior-test-platform-technical-leader-cpo"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nvidia-senior-test-platform-technical-leader-cpo\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnvidia-senior-test-platform-technical-leader-cpo"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4232019}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"nvidia.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4232019},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
