Optical Engineer, Autonomous Photonic Network Applications (Ottawa)

How You Will Contribute

Ciena’s vision of Autonomous Photonic Networks (APN) blends advanced physical modeling, analytics and automation to enable optical networks that self-optimize, self-heal and continuously adapt to changing conditions maximizing both capacity and efficiency without manual intervention. The Liquid Spectrum (LQS) Applications team develops the algorithms, models and workflows at the heart of this vision. Our mission is to unlock latent performance within photonic infrastructure by combining sophisticated physics-based simulations with intelligent software monitoring and control. Responsibilities

Develop and refine optical transport simulations, integrating coherent modem models with amplifier noise, fiber nonlinear impairment and other source of optical penalties. Build expert knowledge of coherent modem technologies and their interaction with DWDM photonic line systems. Analyze physical layer trade-offs between transponder behavior and optical imp...
