Systems Engineer - Field Integration (SiPh Test Solutions, North Reading, MA)
$141,400 - $226,200 USD yearly
Originally posted 17 September 2026 by the employer — open 1 day.
This role focuses on Silicon Photonics test systems on UltraFLEXplus platforms.
About the role
This role involves owning the end-to-end integration, bring-up, and acceptance of Silicon Photonics test systems from factory readiness through installation and qualification at customer sites worldwide. You will serve as the technical owner for complex, multi-domain systems that integrate optical, electrical, mechanical, thermal, and software subsystems onto UltraFLEXplus platforms.
What you'll do
- Lead first-article and new-configuration bring-up of Silicon Photonics test cells, including tester, optical engine, probe/handler interface, DUT interface board, instrumentation, and software stack. - Develop and execute bring-up plans, power-on sequences, subsystem checkout procedures, and system-level characterization against specification. - Drive root cause analysis and corrective action for integration issues across optics, RF/DC electronics, firmware, motion, thermal, mechanical, and test software domains. - Author, review, and maintain FAT/SAT qualification protocols, acceptance criteria, test matrices, data packages, and customer sign-off documentation. - Support installation, re-qualification, escalation, training, upgrade, retrofit, and ECO/field-change-order activities for installed Silicon Photonics systems. - Represent the voice of the field and factory floor in design reviews, FMEAs, and readiness reviews.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Optical/Photonics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline with 7+ years of relevant experience; or a Master’s degree with 5+ years of relevant experience. - Hands-on experience integrating, bringing up, commissioning, and accepting complex capital equipment in semiconductor, photonics, ATE, or other multi-domain systems. - Experience supporting FAT/SAT protocols, customer acceptance activities, and technical documentation. - Strong electrical engineering fundamentals with exposure to Silicon Photonics, optical alignment/coupling, fiber handling, RF technology, high-speed signaling, power delivery, or signal processing. - Ability to troubleshoot across optics, electronics, mechanics, thermal, motion, and software disciplines using standard lab instrumentation. - Programming experience for test automation, data analysis, or diagnostics; .NET, C#, VB, and/or Python preferred.
