Responsibilities

• Define use cases for scale up, out and across generations of optical interconnect and switch and router families. Educate Sales Engineering on optic interconnect deployment configurations.
• Create tools for deployment rules and optical configurations for mixed rate interconnect and scale across DWDM technologies (grey and amplified direct and coherent detection DWDM, single and multi-span).
• Maintain internal and external facing documentation for Data Center, ML/Ai and Scale across deployment scenarios with Arista family of products.
• Create web based tools for valid configuration of Arista family of products across switch and router generations and supported optics interconnect configurations.
• Work with PLM and engineering to define configurations for technical conferences
• Support engineering with equipment set-up and logistics
• Support PLM and Marketing with Material to support demonstrations
• Attend conferences to support shows as required.
• Write and maintain Python-based code to automate test flows, control lab instruments, and log test results at scale.
• Set up and run optical/electrical tests using tools like BERTs, power meters, spectrum analyzers, OTDR, and oscilloscopes.

Requirements

• A Masters degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field.
• A PhD in photonics and/or a MBA are preferred.
• 5 years’ experience with Optical Networking and DWDM design and deployment required.
• Understanding and analysis of DWDM signal propagation and simulation as well as multi-span amplified systems an asset.
• Strong writing and presentation skills, able to disseminate succinct practical knowledge to Sales and Sales Engineering.
• Strong practical knowledge of Ethernet, DWDM, and Coherent Optical Technologies.
• Hands-on experience with optical test equipment such as OTDR, OSA, BERT, optical power meters, Oscilloscopes etc., with solid troubleshooting skills.
• Extensive experience with traffic generators and network protocol analysis tools (e.g., Wireshark, Ixia, Spirent).
• Prior experience in system testing, scripting (e.g., Python, TCL), and/or new product introduction (NPI).
• Proven experience testing Coherent and IMDD Transponders/Transceivers, Optical Amplifiers, Optical Mux/Demux and other optical system building blocks.
