Huawei Canada has an immediate 8-12 month internship opening for an Engineer.
About the team:
Huawei Canada's Advanced Optical Technology Lab focuses on advanced R&D in high-performance optical communications and networking. Our expert team specializes in transmission algorithms, systems, physics, and AI-driven optical network management. The lab engages in projects ranging from deep research to developing key product features, actively participating in standards organizations and collaborative research with partners. Our multicultural environment fosters innovation, mentorship, and a passion for learning. If you thrive on solving complex technical challenges, this lab is your ideal place.
About the job:
Working on the next generation of short-reach and data center interconnect (DCI) networks. In this role you will focus on the design and simulation of Intensity-Modulated Direct-Detection (IMDD) transmission systems operating over cutting-edge Hollow-Core Fiber (HCF). Given the physical properties of HCF, efficient signaling and equalization methods are fundamental to achieve cost and power efficient optical links.
Modeling of end-to-end non-coherent optical transmission system.
Modeling of Hollow-Core Fiber and the impact of gas absorption on the transmission.
Exploring efficient signaling and equalization to combat channel induced fading profiles.
Studying the impact of high launch power on the system reach and performance.
The total target annual compensation (based on 2,080 hours per year) ranges from $58,000 to $104,000 depending on education, experience, and demonstrated expertise.
About the ideal candidate:
Currently enrolled in Master’s/PhD program in Electrical Engineering program or equivalent.
Solid background in non-coherent optical fiber transmission and reception.
Deep understanding of direct-detection systems, transceiver limitations, and noise penalties (e.g., RIN, thermal noise, shot noise).
Familiarity with programming languages like Matlab and/or Python.
Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work effectively in a team.
A publication record on similar topics is an asset.
