Full Stack AI Engineer

Primary Duties & Responsibilities

• Develop and deploy Reinforcement Learning (e.g. SAC DDPG PPO) to optimize multi-parameter tuning (ER TC bias currents LUTs equalizer taps).
• Apply Bayesian Optimization or hybrid models to accelerate convergence when DCA time is expensive.
• Build supervised ML models (XGBoost LightGBM) to predict long/stress test outcomes from early measurements enabling test suite pruning or early termination.
• Integrate anomaly detection (autoencoders Isolation Forests) into test data streams to ensure quality while reducing redundant tests.
• Apply RL or multi-armed bandit algorithms for dynamic scheduling of scarce test equipment (DCA BERT).
• Automate and integrate ML algorithms with test systems (Python APIs; LabVIEW; integration with existing frameworks).
• Deploy models in production test stations monitor real-time results and adjust policies to maximize uptime and throughput.
• Provide clear reporting of savings (ER TC test-time reduction KPI) and drive continuous improvement.
• Lead initiatives mentor junior engineers and collaborate across optical testmanufacturing and data science teams
• Contribute to innovation through potential patents or technical publications in AI-driven test optimization.

Education & Experience

• Bachelors or masters degree in electrical engineering Computer Science Applied Physics or related field.
• Minimum 2 years of applied AI/ML deployment experience with at least one successful implementation in test manufacturing or signal processing.
• Industry experience in test automation high-speed hardware or related fields preferred.
• Proven background in optical transceiver testing or hardware test automation is a strong plus.
  

Skills

• Strong Python development skills; proficiency with ML libraries (PyTorch TensorFlow scikit-learn RLlib).
• Hands-on with automation frameworks and hardware interfacing (DCAs BERTs oscilloscopes).
• Knowledge of ML algorithms: supervised learning reinforcement learning Bayesian methods anomaly detection.
• Domain expertise in optical transceiver testing (TDECQ ER OMA LUT calibration BER tests).
• Strong analytical leadership and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  Experience working with statistical analysis tools for test data (SPC yield analysis correlation studies).

Working Conditions

• Should be flexible to support the global locations of Coherent at different time zones.
• 5 days onsite
