As an Optical Communications Engineer you will bring theory into practice, by verifying theory with actual lab and field experiments. You are responsible for carrying out experiments and verifying end-to-end communication performance measurements. This is your chance to work and experiment with amongst other things terabit laser communications, ground stations for optical feeder links and pave the way to future high-availability, high-throughput laser communications.

 - You have either a BSc. or MSc. Degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field), with at least 3 years of relevant work experience as a RF or optical test engineer.

- You have a thorough knowledge of physical-layer communications and experience with RF or optical channel models

- You are experienced in modelling high-speed digital signal processing and digital communications with Matlab or Python

- You have experience in the design and realization of test setups, and in the design and execution of complex experiments

- You are familiar with lab equipment including (optical) spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers and oscilloscopes

- Experience in the field of free-space optical communications, optics and/or optomechatronics is a plus.

- You have strong problem solving and analytical skills, as well as technical reporting, presentation and communication skills

- You have a pioneering mentality, and are comfortable with the uncertainty that comes with scientific and engineering challenges.
