Optical Engineer, RTP, Test Software Architecture and Optics NPI

The Meta Hardware Design and Release to Production (Hardware Design and Release to Production) team ensures that the hardware running in Meta's production fleet is stable, secure, performant, and delivers the most value. Within HDRTP, the Release to Production New Product Introduction (Release to Production New Product Introduction) team finds, debugs, and remediates hardware failure modes before certifying new platforms for mass production, and then sustains them across the deployed lifecycle. We are looking for an Optical Engineer to drive optics validation within RTP-NPI — pairing deep optical-transceiver expertise with software engineering skills to build the Python-based test software infrastructure that qualifies optical communications modules and to lead optical transceiver NPI programs end to end. In this role, you will set technical direction for optics test automation, drive hands-on NPI execution with vendors and ODMs through EVT/DVT/PVT to mass production, and contribute to industry standards, vendor engagements, and ecosystem partnerships in optical networking.
