About the role

Huawei Canada's Advanced Optical Technology Lab focuses on advanced R&D in high-performance optical communications and networking.
Our expert team specializes in transmission algorithms, systems, physics, and optical network management.
Our multicultural environment fosters innovation, mentorship, and a passion for learning.

Develop fiber channel models including single, multi-mode, and hollow-core fibers for optical communication transmission systems (e.g. polarization mode dispersion, multi-mode dispersion and multi-path interference).
Closely work with DSP, ASIC design and modem control teams to identify system impairments sources and provide solutions to improve performance of direct and coherent-detection transceivers.
Develop models for high-speed optoelectronic components for optical communication transmission systems including optical modulator, laser source, optical drivers, TIA circuits, photodetectors (e.g., PIN diodes, avalanche photodiodes (APDs)), etc.

About the ideal candidate: Ph.D. or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field.

Ph.D. or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field.
Simulation and modeling experience in optoelectronic components and optical fiber communications.
Programming with Python, C/C++, Julia.
Strong hands-on experimental experience in optical system testing, real-time and offline performance characterization for transceivers.
Knowledge of digital signal processing (DSP) and information theory is an asset.
Industrial experience in optical communication systems is an asset.

Huawei Canada is committed to a fair, inclusive, and accessible recruitment process.

The total target annual compensation (based on 2,080 hours per year) for this position ranges from $106,000 to $156,000 depending on education, experience, and demonstrated expertise.

The lab engages in projects ranging from deep research to developing key product features, actively participating in standards organizations and collaborative research with partners.
