• Assist in building, assembling, and bringing up coherent DSP EVKs and hardware prototypes.
• Assist in simple mechanical tasks related to hardware fixtures, mounting, and custom lab setups.
• Conduct basic PCB debugging using oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and other lab instrumentation.
• Manage lab inventory, track equipment, and handle procurement of components, consumables, and tools.
• Prepare and maintain test setups for electrical and optical system validation.
• Learn optical fiber handling, splicing, connector cleaning, and loss measurements.
• Support engineers during system bring‑up and validation activities by performing measurement, setup, data labeling, and documentation tasks.
• Maintain accurate lab documentation, logs, procedures, and configuration records.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with hardware, DSP, firmware, and system validation teams.
