The candidate architect will create detailed product concepts & architectures for optical transceivers. Products will combine tradeoffs and considerations in mechanical, thermal & optical designs which meet performance specification and which are manufacturable in volume at market-compatible cost targets.  The candidate will have a fundamental understanding of the trade-offs in various engineering disciplines and a vision of products which will meet challenging customer requirements. The Architect will have access to electro-optical components & integrated circuits, as well as in-house expertise in 3D field simulation signal integrity to support detailed product design.  They will work with manufacturing people to choose production equipment and assembly/test processes.  They will prepare presentations to management and team engineers which require justification of the architectural choices and the manufacturing approach to achieve production throughput, cost & yield.

• Create new product concepts and architectures, especially mechanical, thermal and optical designs.
• Oversee evaluations of viability of technical concepts and proposals.
• Engineering leadership and technical project management.
• Lead new product designs and developments.
• Lead design reviews: mechanical, thermal, optical, electronic, manufacturability, cost.
• Create and execute technical project management plans.  This includes people/team direction and schedule management.
• Collaborate with other design centers and manufacturing locations.  Direct status meetings with design and manufacturing teams.
• Collaborate with Application Engineering to resolve product technical issues during and after customer design-in.
• Meet new market needs and requirements.  Provide technical support to strategic new product road-map discussions and existing product enhancements.
