Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The role involves bridging theoretical modeling and experimental validation to advance optical fiber communication and sensing systems. Key tasks include designing automated testbeds, developing numerical models for transmission systems, and implementing real-time performance monitoring algorithms.
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Photonics, Optical Communications, or a related field with over 3 years of post-doctoral or industry experience. Proficiency in optical test equipment, wave propagation modeling, and programming languages like Python or MATLAB is required.
Huawei Canada has an immediate permanent opening for an Engineer.
About the Team:
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. The lab engages in projects ranging from deep research to developing key product features, actively participating in standards organizations and collaborative research with partners. Our multicultural environment fosters innovation, mentorship, and a passion for learning. If you thrive on solving complex technical challenges, this lab is your ideal place.
About the Job:
You will bridge the gap between theoretical modeling and hands-on experimental validation to advance the next generation of optical fiber communication and sensing systems.
Your work will span the entire system lifecycle - from high-fidelity simulation and optimization to rigorous experimental testing, real-time performance monitoring, and advanced fault detection:
Design, build, and automate advanced optical laboratory testbeds to validate system-level performance. Conduct characterization of optical components (transceivers, amplifiers, fibers, and modulators).
Develop and maintain accurate numerical models of optical transmission systems, accounting for linear/nonlinear impairments (e.g., CD, PMD, SPM, XPM). System optimization for maximum capacity, reach, and efficiency.
Design and implement algorithms for real-time optical performance monitoring (OPM) and predictive fault detection to enhance network reliability and automated telemetry.
Explore and develop fiber-optic sensing capabilities (e.g., DAS, DTS, DSS) or utilize existing communication infrastructure for co-designed communication and sensing applications.
Analyze large datasets from experimental setups and field trials to root-cause anomalies, optimize system parameters, and close the loop between simulation and reality.
The total target annual compensation for this position ranges from $106,000 to $156,000 depending on education, experience, and demonstrated expertise.
About the ideal candidate:
Ph.D. in Photonics, Optical Communications, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field.
3+ years of post-Ph.D. or industry experience in optical fiber communication or sensing systems.
Strong hands-on laboratory skills. Deep familiarity with optical test equipment (e.g., Optical Spectrum Analyzers (OSAs), Real-Time Oscilloscopes, Bit Error Rate Testers (BERTs), Optical Time-Domain Reflectometers (OTDRs)).
Proficient in modeling optical wave propagation (e.g., solving the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation). Strong programming skills in Python, MATLAB, or C++ for simulation, data analysis, and lab automation.
Solid understanding of coherent optical communication, advanced modulation formats (QAM, QPSK), digital signal processing (DSP) for optics, and fiber non-linearities.
Experience with machine learning/AI techniques applied to optical performance monitoring or fault prediction is an asset.
Knowledge of control systems for dynamic optical networks is an asset.
