Senior Manager System Verification (SVT)
Celero Communications, Inc.Ottawa, Ontario, Canada · Posted 1 day agoDescription
About the Role:
We are seeking a Senior Manager / Director of System Verification (SVT) to lead validation strategy and execution for disruptive coherent optical DSP technology targeting data center applications. This role combines hands-on system verification with team leadership, requiring deep expertise in DSP, communications, and optical systems.
You will own end-to-end system validation, drive cross-functional execution, and work directly with hyperscaler customers to qualify coherent optical modules from ecosystem partners.
What you Will Do:
- Own end-to-end system verification strategy and execution for coherent DSP products
- Translate system requirements into DSP performance targets (equalization, timing/carrier recovery)
- Define link budgets and align DSP performance with optical components and module partners.
- Lead system modeling and correlation with lab measurements (e.g., RONSR, sensitivity)
- Oversee development of golden reference transceivers for system correlation and benchmarking.
- Drive system bring-up, debug, and optimization across DSP, optics, and analog front-end.
- Build and lead a high-performing SVT team; define methodologies and test coverage.
- Partner with customers and module vendors to accelerate qualification and deployment.
What you Will Bring:
- MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Optical Communications, or related field
- 12 or more years in coherent optical or high-speed communication systems
- Proven leadership in system validation of coherent DSP products
- Hands-on experience with lab instrumentation (scope, DCA, AWG, BERT) and automation
- Strong programming skills (Python, MATLAB, or C++)
Core Expertise
- Digital communications and coherent DSP algorithms
- Optical impairments and link budgeting
- Coherent modulation (QPSK, 16QAM, higher-order QAM) and FEC (KP4, SD-FEC)
- Fixed-point implementation and system-level performance optimization
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with 112G/224G SERDES and high-speed electrical interfaces
- Familiarity with framer/deframer architectures (KP4/RS-FEC, datacenter interfaces)
- Experience with coherent pluggable modules and reference platforms
