Photonics Layout & Design Automation Engineer
Location: Mountain View, CA (Hybrid)
Employment Type: Full-Time
Industry: Silicon Photonics / Semiconductors / Optical Interconnects
IC Resources is excited to announce that we are working with an innovative silicon photonics company developing next-generation optical interconnect technologies for AI, high-performance computing, and advanced networking applications.
As part of continued growth, they are seeking a Photonics Layout & Design Automation Engineer to help build and scale their photonic design infrastructure, layout environment, and automation capabilities.
What You'll Do
Drive and participate across various development activities including schematic-driven layout and design, P-cell development, PDK management, and physical verification.
Evaluate and implement integrated environments for photonics simulation and layout tools.
Contribute to the long-term roadmap for photonics design automation.
Collaborate with design, process, and test teams to develop CAD infrastructure that supports DfX requirements and foundry rule compliance.
Manage in-house photonic component models and layout libraries with proper revision control and regression testing.
Monitor quality escapes and deploy corrective actions through structured root-cause analysis.
What We're Looking For
5+ years of integrated circuit layout and design automation experience, ideally within integrated photonics or semiconductor environments.
Strong understanding of:
Simulation and layout automation
PDK development and management
Physical verification (LVS / DRC)
CAD infrastructure and environment management
Experience with:
P-cell development
LVS / DRC run-set development
Source code revision control
Regression testing methodologies
Proficiency with industry-standard tools such as:
Cadence / Synopsys / Luceda / KLayout
Familiarity with semiconductor fabrication processes.
Experience managing design libraries and source control systems.
Strong Python and Linux scripting capabilities.
Preferred Experience
Silicon photonics and optoelectronic device knowledge.
Experience with commercial photonics simulation environments from Synopsys, Cadence, Luceda, or Ansys.
Exposure to photonic integrated circuits (PICs), optical interconnects, co-packaged optics, or optical I/O technologies.
What's On Offer
Opportunity to join a fast-growing and highly innovative photonics company.
Competitive base salary, bonus, and equity package.
Comprehensive healthcare benefits.
Flexible PTO policy.
Chance to work on cutting-edge optical technologies that will help shape the future of AI and high-performance computing.
Salary: $154,000 – $195,000
