System Design Leader Optical Transceivers jobs at Cisco in Germany, Nuremberg

In the system design team we focus on requirements and architectures of next generations optical transceiver modules. We develop and investigate signal processing algorithms which will be implemented into state-of-the art ASICs.

As a System Design Leader for Optical Transceivers with a strong background in communication theory you will strengthen our development team in Nuremberg, Germany. In your work you will cover following topics:

• Define system architecture including selection and specification of enabling technologies such as optical components and mixed-signal IP.
• Develop power-efficient DSP algorithms for implementation in state-of-the art ASIC technology.
• Closely collaborate with international ASIC design team to direct both design and verification of DSP implementation.
• Develop behavioral simulation models of analog and optical components for integration into simulation platform for performance evaluation.
• Participate in cross-functional Solution Control Board committee to prioritize and direct investigation and design efforts.
• Lead and actively participate in performance-related system integration efforts and validation measurements.
• Closely collaborate with local FW design team. Specify and validate FW-based DSP control and supervision algorithms.

• Deep knowledge in digital signal processing, system theory and channel coding for optical communication.
• Knowledge in fixed-point DSP algorithm design for target HW-platform considering complexity and power dissipation constraints.
• Knowledge in C++, Matlab, and Python.
• Strong background in measurement and characterization of optical transceivers.

• Master degree in electrical engineering or higher.
• Technical leadership skills including strong background in ISO-compliant development processes.
• Knowledge in optical components, optical transmission theory and measurement methodology.
• Background in system-level standard bodies (IEEE, OIF) requirements for optical transceivers.
