Photonic Test Engineer (Silicon Photonics Test Development) at NVIDIA, Roskilde, Denmark
Job Description
NVIDIA is hiring a photonic test engineer in Roskilde, Denmark, to develop silicon photonics and semiconductor test programs. The engineer works with international design teams on design-for-test features and test concepts, characterises devices and gives designers data-driven feedback, leads development of photonic test concepts and hardware with internal and external vendors, and works on yield improvement and shorter test times.
At a glance
- Role: Test Engineer – Photonic (JR2012829)
- Location: Roskilde, Denmark
- Posted: 8 May 2026
- Experience: 2+ years in photonics or semiconductor photonics
- Apply: open until filled (re-checked 13 October 2026)
About the photonic test role
- Develop silicon photonics and semiconductor test programs with international design teams
- Characterise devices and analyse data to give designers feedback
- Lead photonic test concepts and hardware with internal teams and vendors
- Improve yield and reduce test time
Why this matters
Silicon photonic chips must be tested optically and electrically at wafer and module level before they go into high-speed interconnects. Test engineers design the measurements and data flows that decide which parts pass, which directly affects yield and cost.
What NVIDIA is looking for
- A BSc or MSc in electrical engineering, physics or materials science, or equivalent experience
- Experience in electrical engineering and programming
- At least 2 years in the photonics or semiconductor photonics industry
- Photonic testing or validation, with Python and VBA
Nice to have
- Statistics tools such as JMP
- Leading cross-organisation work
