## About the role

We are seeking a highly skilled Systems Engineer to own calibration architecture, system integration, and verification for our optical vector-matrix multiplication (OVMM) engine. This role is central to closing the gap between a system that is designed to meet its accuracy targets and one that demonstrably does so on the bench: you will devise the calibration algorithms that correct optical phase, amplitude, and timing across many channels, specify the analog and digital hardware structures needed for real-time...

## What they're looking for

- Degree: MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a closely related field, with emphasis on control systems, signal processing, or mixed-signal systems
- Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in calibration algorithm development, system bring-up, or verification of complex electro-optic or mixed-signal systems
- Lab & Verification: Hands-on experience bringing up and debugging complex hardware using oscilloscopes, spectrum/network analyzers, and optical test equipment, and correlating measured performance against a model
- Software for Calibration: Proficiency developing calibration and test software (Python and/or MATLAB), including control loops, data acquisition, and automated characterization scripts, sufficient to run and iterate on lab measurements independently
- Communication: Excellent communication skills for cross-functional collaboration with analog IC designers, digital designers, photonic device engineers, and system architects
- Practical experience with digital signal processing techniques, including spectral analysis, correlation, and adaptive filtering, applied within calibration or measurement loops
