Senior Silicon Photonics Design Engineer

The Senior Silicon Photonics Design Engineer will be responsible for developing silicon photonics components and photonic integrated circuits (PIC) to support next-generation data communications and 5G optical network applications. The responsibility spans from concept design, modeling & simulation to layout, and product testing. The candidate is expected to be responsible for product level layout and improve the efficiency of tape-out process.

The position could be a junior or senior role depending on the candidate’s qualification.

The scope of the responsibilities includes:
Passive or active photonic device design, simulation, and layout using state-of-the-art modelling and layout tools.
Interaction with the silicon foundry.
Device and PIC test/characterization.

Qualifications and Skills
PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field with a focus on Integrated Photonics, complemented by at least 2 years of direct experience in the design of Silicon Photonics devices.
Skilled in programming for data analysis and layout design.
Practical experience in tape-out process with at least one Silicon Photonics foundry, including familiarity with its PDK.
Proficiency in passive optical components, such as edge couplers, grating couplers, directional couplers, MMIs, and polarization splitters and rotators.
Hands-on experience with photonic testing equipment in a laboratory setting.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Strong communication skills and a proven ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
