Senior Optical System Architect
Ottawa, ON, Canada | Full-Time | Ranovus
ABOUT RANOVUS
Ranovus is a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, developing next-generation co-packaged optics (CPO) solutions for AI and data center interconnects. Our Odin optical engine integrates a Quantum Dot Multi-Wavelength Laser, Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC), and ASIC into a single co-packaged module – delivering the performance and density required by hyperscale AI infrastructure.
The Optical System Architect owns the optical architecture of the Ranovus Odin platform. You will define how light flows through the system and ensure every optical design decision is traceable to a system-level requirement. Working closely with the PIC and Laser teams, you will translate architecture intent into formal TERs and provide continuous feedback to ensure design choices do not compromise system performance, yield, or reliability. You will be responsible for link budget and yield analysis.
You will play a key role in advancing next-generation laser products from development through qualification. By combining hands-on characterization, automation development, reliability testing, and machine vision inspection, you will help establish the data, tools, and processes needed to bring high-performance laser products into production. Working closely with R&D, qualification and reliability teams, packaging suppliers, and external test providers, you will contribute directly to the successful commercialization of cutting-edge photonic technologies.
Ranovus is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds and lived experiences, including those from equity deserving and underrepresented communities. We are committed to an accessible recruitment process in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.
We are committed to delivering a respectful and transparent candidate experience, with clear and timely communication at every stage of the process.

Thank you for your interest in joining Ranovus. We look forward to connecting with you.
The world-class team of scientist and engineers at Ranovus is comprised of professionals with a unique combination of decades of expertise in product development of optoelectronics components and transceiver subsystems for the information technology industry.
Ranovus' disruptive innovation in Quantum Dot Multi-Wavelength Laser combined with advanced digital and photonics integrated circuit technologies is setting a new industry benchmark for the next generation of optical interconnect solutions.
Our technology delivers significant reduction in power dissipation, size and cost of interconnects, and enables a much higher degree of distortion tolerance compared to traditional solutions, thereby enabling a "freeway" architecture to reduce network latency.
