Summary
Eric Panorel is a Lead Optical Test Engineer with 13 years of experience designing software-driven test and calibration platforms for fiber-optic transceivers and silicon photonics. He combines deep domain knowledge in optics and hardware with pragmatic software skills—C#, Python, MATLAB and test automation—to deliver integration, tuning and failure-analysis tools during EVT/DVT and production. At Ciena and previously Lumentum and Finisar he built test frameworks, drivers and MES integrations that reduced R&D dependency and accelerated NPI throughput. Comfortable across firmware, hardware and software boundaries, he has a track record of mentoring offshore teams and translating lab algorithms into reliable factory automation. With a Master’s in Management Science from Waterloo and a background that spans firmware to enterprise reporting, he brings both technical depth and process-minded leadership to complex optical test challenges.
