Software Verification Developer (Optical Systems)
We are seeking a Software Verification Engineer to validate the behavior, performance, and reliability of software controlling Layer 0 optical systems. You will design automated test frameworks and validation strategies to ensure that optical control software meets stringent performance and reliability requirements. This role focuses on software-driven verification of photonic systems, combining automation, system-level validation, and deep analysis of optical performance.
What you'll do
- Design and execute software-driven verification strategies for Layer 0 optical systems
- Develop automated test frameworks to validate control software behavior and system performance
- Validate optical control loops, power management, and system stability through software testing
- Analyze system telemetry and test data to identify performance issues and anomalies
- Simulate and validate failure scenarios, including protection and restoration mechanisms
- Collaborate with development and architecture teams to debug and resolve complex issues
- Build tools for system observability, monitoring, and performance validation
- Validate integration of software with optical hardware in lab environments
- Develop regression test suites to ensure long-term system stability
- Document test strategies, results, and system-level insights
- Continuously improve test automation, coverage, and efficiency
What you'll need to get the job done
- Strong experience in software testing or validation (preferably in embedded or systems environments)
- Proficiency in Python or similar scripting languages for automation
- Experience building test frameworks and automation pipelines
- Understanding of system-level behavior and debugging in complex environments
- Familiarity with Layer 0 optical systems or telecom/networking concepts
- Ability to analyze large datasets and identify system-level issues
- Experience with Linux environments and software development workflows
- Knowledge of CI/CD, version control (Git), and automated testing practices
- Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
What will make us REALLY love you
- Experience validating optical transport systems (DWDM, transponders, amplifiers)
- Familiarity with optical performance metrics (power, OSNR, BER)
- Experience with simulation tools or digital twins for system validation
- Exposure to ML/AI techniques for anomaly detection or performance analysis
- Strong automation mindset with a focus on scalability and efficiency
