5+ years of proven hands-on laboratory experience setting up and experimentally characterizing DSP-based high-speed optical communication systems.
Proven experience using state-of-the-art optical and high-speed electronic test and measurement equipment.
Strong verbal, written communication, and documentation skills

Nice To Haves:

Experience with Python tools for scientific computing and lab automation (e.g., pandas, numpy).
