As a Power Hardware Engineer at Ciena, this role contributes to the design and delivery of high-performance power solutions for advanced networking platforms. The position offers hands-on technical engagement across the product lifecycle from concept through production. Collaboration across engineering disciplines supports development of reliable and scalable power architectures.
 

How you will make an impact:

• Develop product-level power systems, subcomponent power designs, and circuit pack-level power architectures for next-generation platforms

• Contribute to high-performance circuit pack power solutions, including schematic capture and layout collaboration with hardware design primes

• Design alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) power interface modules and platform cooling solutions

• Collaborate with hardware, mechanical, thermal, software, and systems engineering teams to resolve design and integration challenges

• Partner with external suppliers, procurement, and manufacturing teams to transition power hardware designs into production

• Verify system and subcomponent designs using engineering and production prototypes through hands-on lab validation
   

The must haves:

• Education: Graduating in 2026 from a Bachelor of Engineering degree

• Experience: Previous internship, co-op, or applied project experience relevant to the role

• Demonstrated project management knowledge and strong work organization skills

• Hands-on experience with power laboratory test equipment, measurement techniques, and microelectronic power product development

• Familiarity with printed circuit board (PCB) schematic capture and layout tools

• Understanding of buck, boost, flyback, forward, resonant LLC converter topologies, and closed-loop power supply control

• Experience with simulation tools such as LTSpice, PSPICE, or equivalent circuit simulation platforms
   

Nice to haves:

• Education: Master’s or PhD in Electronics or Power Electronics

• Work-term experience in power electronics

• Exposure to communications hardware product development environments

• Familiarity with power, grounding, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) design standards for Telcordia and data center customers

• Experience with Cadence design tools
   

Pay Range:

The annual pay range for this position is $62,600 – $100,000
