About the role

Firmware Engineer developing optical transceiver software systems for next generation transmission. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to innovate hardware, firmware, and software solutions.

Responsibilities

Independent development of DSP / ARM embedded software using a Real Time Operating System (RTOS).
Implement and validate the code, document the test results including creation of automated test.
Work in interdisciplinary teams (HW (hardware), ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), optics, factory).
Cover systems engineering aspects and documentation (collect and understand features and dependencies / impact; work out feature implementation details; define SW UG (software user guide); interface to SW).
Increase the quality of our code by extending the test framework and adding test cases for our CI/CD pipeline (continuous integration and continues delivery).
Provide automation solutions (e.g. Jenkins, Python).
Understand the various functional areas:
Device drivers and link drivers including PLLs (Phase-Locked Loops)
Control concepts for optical devices including stability analysis
DSP (Digital Signal Processing) configuration in the field of coherent optical communication
High-speed ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter)/ DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) configuration and control
Various protocols used in the field of coherent optical communication

Master degree in electrical engineering / computer science / computer engineering or a related field (or Bachelor Degree with + 5 years of experience).
Fluent in English language (spoken and written) and intermediate in German language (spoken and written, at least B1- B2 preferred with the aim to become fluent).
Experience with Python.
Profound knowledge of C programming language and knowledge of C++.
Experience with revision control systems (e.g., Git & Gerrit, Bitbucket).
Very good analytical way of thinking and good communication skills with ability to work independently and self-organized.
Nice to have: Profound knowledge of embedded programming concepts.
Experience with Eclipse based IDE (Integrated Development Environment) or Visual Studio Code.
Experience with advanced control loop theory and communications theory.
Knowledge of coherent optical communication systems and signal processing.
Knowledge of OTN (Optical Transport Network)/OCH (Optical Channel) and/or GBE (Gigabit Ethernet) frame structure.
Knowledge of system theory for optical communication systems.
Experience in feedback control systems and digital signal processing.
Knowledge of components for optical transmission (laser, EDFA, MZM, …).
Collaboration with multi-site, cross-functional, international teams.
Flexibility and ability to cope with project pressure.
