Senior Silicon Photonics Design Engineer

The Senior Silicon Photonics Design Engineer position 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.
