Interconnect Hardware Engineer - Networking

NVIDIA is seeking a Development Engineer to join the Interconnect Design team in Roskilde, Denmark. This role focuses on the end‑to‑end development of high‑speed optical transceivers that enable next‑generation data center interconnects. You will own complete transceiver developments—shaping technical direction, executing hands-on lab work, and collaborating with a wide range of global partners to bring products from early concept through high-volume manufacturing.
This is a highly technical, hands-on position requiring strong ownership, lab expertise, and a product-oriented mindset.
What You’ll Be Doing
Drive the design, adaptation, and validation of high-speed optical transceivers
Take technical leadership of development programs from requirements definition to production release
Collaborate closely with system architects, firmware, optics, mechanical, thermal, manufacturing, and operations teams
Perform laboratory bring-up, debugging, and optimization of prototypes
Execute detailed electrical and optical characterization against industry standards
Support root-cause analysis and performance optimization at both component and system level
What We Need To See
Master's degree (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, or a related field.
3+ years of industry experience working with high-speed optical or digital communication systems
Hands-on experience with laboratory measurement, validation, and debug of high-speed hardware
Working knowledge of optoelectronic components and transceiver architectures
Basic understanding of electronics and RF principles
Strong sense of ownership with the ability to independently drive projects forward
Excellent written and spoken English communication skills
Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (e.g., Python, MATLAB)
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd
Ph.D in a relevant technical field is considered a strong plus
Experience with optical system design or high-speed optical links
Exposure to electronic or optoelectronic packaging
Background in PCB or electrical circuit design and EMC/EMI fundamentals
Familiarity with thermal solutions for high-performance hardware
