Product Engineer - Optoelectronics

Molex possesses a rich heritage in the optical industry.

We provide the highest performing field-proven wavelength management solutions from components to modules and integrated line-cards.

Continuous innovation in passive component function integration, miniaturization, and manufacturing automation, cutting edge WSS and amplifier technology and comprehensive optical, mechanical, electrical and software integration capabilities enable us to serve the needs of high-density, high-bandwidth, and flexible optical networks.

Our Optical Solutions team responsible for high volume optical transceivers is looking for a Product Engineer to join our team.

The Product Engineer will contribute to the overall development and lifecycle management of our optical transceiver business.

We are in high growth mode so this role will be fast paced and work with a global cross functional team with a concentration of manufacturing in Mexico.

This role will bridge the gap between R&D, manufacturing, quality, and product management, ensuring high performance, reliability, and manufacturability of optical communication components.

This role will be based in Fremont, CA with travel expected globally.

What You Will Do


* Support the development and launch of high-speed optical transceivers (e.g., QSFP, SFP, OSFP) from concept through production.


* Collaborate with cross-functional teams including design, test, process, and reliability engineers to ensure product readiness.


* Define product specifications, support qualification plans, and conduct performance evaluations.


* Interface with manufacturing teams to ensure design for manufacturability (DFM) and resolve production issues.


* Analyze data to monitor product yields, reliability trends, and customer feedback


* Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for product-related issues.


* Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives for product quality, cost, and performance.


* Provide technical support to customers, sales, and field application engineers.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)


* Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or a related field


* Desire to work with high volume manufacturing and the effective launch of the optical transceiver


* Strong understanding of optical communication principles, such as modulation formats, link budgets, and fiber optics.


* Experience with high-speed electrical and optical testing (e.g., eye diagrams, jitter, BER testing).


* Familiarity with industry standards (e.g., IEEE 802.3, MSA specs for SFP/QSFP).


* Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, bit error rate testers, optical spectrum analyzers).


* Solid analytical and problem-solving skills.


* Excellent communication and project management abilities.


* Proficient in data analysis.


* Experience with manufacturing processes and quality systems.
