R&D Laser Design and Modeling Engineer

Summary AOI is a leading supplier of high-speed transceivers used in fiber optical communications. We are looking for a highly motivated Semiconductor Laser Design and Modeling Engineer. Responsibilities include design, modeling, and simulations of InP and GaAs based high-speed and high-power semiconductor lasers. The candidate is responsible for creating models and software to develop next‑generation new optoelectronics products in a young & dynamic RD team. Responsibilities Apply in-house design packages, commercial software, and self‐written scripts to create high-speed or high-power laser device modeling and simulations, including optical waveguide, DC, RF, and thermal simulations. Design process flow and photomask with device fabrication engineers. Coordinate design verification with in-house Growth, Processing, Packaging, Characterization, and Reliability teams. Analyze experimental results to improve the design or model. Work as a team to propose new laser designs and provide supports to design optimizations. Provide regular written and oral reports on design tasks and progress. Qualifications Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics or other related fields; or M.S. degree with 5+ years relevant laser design experiences. 2+ years of work experience in semiconductor laser design is preferred. Education can generally be substituted for required specialized experience. Preferably having previous design experiences in one or more of the following areas: high‑speed laser, electro‑absorption modulated laser (EML), vertical cavity surface‑emitting laser (VCSEL), and high‑power laser. Mastery of Matlab or other programming languages. Fully understand theories of semiconductor laser, photodetector, and other optoelectronic devices. Knowledge of basic semiconductor device fabrication process is a plus. Self‑motivated, careful, detail‑oriented, and ability to think logically. Location This position will be on‑site based in Sugar Land, Texas. Benefits Flexible and competitive health (medical, dental, vision) plans offer the employee with the right options to meet individual and family needs. Employer matching on 401(k) deferrals. Generous PTO policy, with unused PTO payout at end of the year. Relocation package available within US. Immigration sponsorships (Must be currently authorized to work in the US). #J-18808-Ljbffr AOI
