The must haves:

Education: Actively enrolled in an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, physics, computer engineering, or a related discipline,
Some understanding of scientific measurement or data analysis, and an interest in learning optical communications and laboratory testing.
Experience using MATLAB for technical computing, scripting, or data analysis.
Analytical problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and attention-to-detail skills.
Ability to work patiently and carefully with delicate optical equipment in a commercial lab, including handling fragile assembled modules, assembling complex test systems, routing optical fiber, and methodically validating functionality.

Nice to haves:

Hands-on experience with laboratory instruments or test automation, such as optical spectrum analyzers or oscilloscopes.
Experience coding in Python.
Experience with Linux.
Familiarity with Git or other version control tools, or with REST APIs.
Experience with using AI, GitHub Copilot, and designing and implementing AI agents and workflows.

Pay range:

The hourly pay range for this position is: $25.50 - 35.00 CAD.

Pay ranges at Ciena are designed to accommodate variations in knowledge, skills, experience, market conditions, and locations, reflecting our diverse products, industries, and lines of business. Please note that the pay range information provided in this posting pertains specifically to the primary location, which is the top location listed in case multiple locations are available.

In addition to competitive compensation, Ciena offers students access to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), company-paid holidays, paid sick leave, and vacation pay as required by applicable laws.
