Jobs at ADTRAN

Conduct R&D on optical transmission systems and subsystems, develop monitoring and control methods for optical components, perform hardware emulation and physical-layer characterization, lead internal subprojects, and collaborate with national and international partners to transition advanced optical technologies into products.

Lead research and development of machine-learning-driven network control and system design for next-generation optical networks. Develop models, implement and benchmark algorithms on real network data, integrate solutions into network management, lead subprojects, cooperate with partners, and evaluate third-party supplier solutions.

Design, simulate, verify, and support manufacturing of pluggable optical transceiver modules. Develop specifications, perform lab testing and reliability validation (Telcordia GR-468), define production test strategies, support NPI and volume manufacturing, collaborate with cross-functional teams and suppliers, and produce technical documentation.

The Manufacturing Engineering Specialist will optimize electronics production processes, focusing on press-fit operations, tooling development, and NPI. They will ensure process quality and efficiency through analysis and continuous improvement methods while collaborating with interdisciplinary teams.

The Senior Hardware Engineer designs optical transceiver modules, develops specifications, tests products, and collaborates across teams to ensure design objectives are met.

Responsible for developing automated test solutions for photonic integration modules, including design, deployment, and sustaining tasks related to test systems.

The Test Design Engineer will develop test strategies for manufacturing, design test hardware/software, collaborate with R&D, and support continuous improvement in test processes.

The job requires an individual to contribute to process engineering tasks and support the team's growth and expansion efforts.

Design, develop, and test embedded C/C++ software for optical transport network controllers in Linux/RTOS environments. Build automated unit and integration tests, follow Agile/Scrum, collaborate cross-functionally, and apply OOP, design patterns, and event-driven multitasking.

Manage opportunity funnel in Salesforce, generate accurate quotes with Salesforce CPQ, maintain customer price lists, support customers and outside sales, and drive customer retention and growth through timely communication and issue resolution.

The Senior Layout Engineer will develop full-custom layouts for high-speed analog and mixed-signal ICs, ensuring optimal performance and manufacturability while collaborating with a cross-functional team.

The Indirect Procurement Specialist manages sourcing, purchasing, and supplier relationships for indirect spend categories, optimizing procurement processes and contributing to cost management and operational excellence.

Design, develop, and test real-time embedded software and firmware for optical transport pluggable devices using C/C++ in a Linux/RTOS environment. Build automated integration tests in Python, collaborate with hardware and systems teams, follow SAFe/Agile practices, and optimize RTOS resource usage and performance.

Lead and coordinate large, complex programs across multiple Agile Release Trains and stakeholders. Facilitate SAFe events, remove impediments, manage dependencies, risks, and escalations, provide executive reporting, coach teams on Agile practices, and drive data-informed improvements to ensure aligned delivery of end-to-end solutions.

The PC Board Designer will design layouts of printed circuit boards, establish standards, train drafters, and ensure design quality.

Design and validate hardware for synchronization products across the full product lifecycle: schematics, PCB guidance, component selection, high-speed and mixed-signal design, lab bring-up, debugging, integration with FPGA/software, and support for manufacturing and production readiness.

Investigate high-speed coherent optical transmission for satellite communications. Develop concepts, run simulations and laboratory experiments, analyze transmission impairments, test transceivers, and present results. Support technology transfer into products and collaborate with industry and academic partners.

Generic hiring announcement with no role-specific responsibilities listed. Invites candidates to explore open positions and apply; specific duties not provided.

Plan, design, develop, and execute system integration tests for optical transport equipment. Create and maintain automated test scripts and regression suites, configure test environments and network settings, log and verify defects, support customers, and learn product architecture and new test tools.

Develop and maintain Python-based automation, CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, and infrastructure automation. Support build frameworks, Docker/Kubernetes platforms, monitoring, and Linux-based cloud/test environments to improve reliability and operational efficiency.
