Responsibilities

• Characterize silicon photonics units measuring output power, modulation amplitude, extinction ratio, and wavelength
• Build automation to run measurements, control the lab setup, and log results
• Correlate measurements against a calibrated lab reference and quantify offsets and spread
• Measure stability across time, temperature, and re-insertion and analyze repeatability and drift
• Deliver a feasibility and gap assessment with recommendation and calibration scheme
