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
