PhD Intern

You will join the subsystems team of optical network division, which has a proven record of inventing record-breaking  optical coherent technologies and developping best-in class optical coherent modules. Our team designs and develops optical fiber coherent modules and pluggable for wide range of high-speed applications including data-center interconnect, metro networks and sub-see long-haul networks.

As part of our team, you will:
 

• Acquire knowledge on requirements for coherent pluggable modules for ZR and ZR+ applications.
• Explore and compare different models to emulate EEPN impairment for ZR and ZR+ applications.
• Implement some EEPN models using some HDL, Verilog or VHDL, on available state-of-the art FPGA framework. 
• Document and present the developed system and results to a wide subsystem 

• Works within clearly defined guidelines, standard operating procedures and / or technical methods with regular supervision.

• Evaluates and selects appropriate alternatives from defined options and makes judgments based on the analysis of information to solve standard problems.

 

You Are:

• Available of at least 3 months
• Fluent in English 
• Speaking in German is a plus.
• Currently a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field, preferably with an accredited school in the European Union. 

You Have:

• A positive and open mindset and strong drive to succeed.
• Some knowledge of signal processing blocks in coherent optical fiber communication.
• Experience with HDL languages such as Verilog, Systemverilog or VHDL.
• Experience with hardware (FPGA) design, simulation and related tools such as Vivado, QuestaSim, Synopsys VCS or others.
• Familiarity with MATLAB.

It would be nice if you also had:

• Demonstrated early research results through journal papers or other industry recognition
