Photonic Design Engineer

Role overview Join a circuit team developing integrated photonic components and supporting photonic integrated circuit (PIC) programs. The work spans design, simulation, wafer data analysis, and system-level validation, with a particular focus on developing integrated photodetectors and the opportunity to grow into technical ownership.

Responsibilities - Analyze wafer-level PIC measurements and assess manufacturing yield. - Design and model integrated photonic components. - Simulate photonic circuits and contribute to circuit layouts. - Validate packaged PICs in collaboration with cross-functional teams. - Support photodetector design, testing, validation, and qualification.

Requirements - Ph.D. in electrical engineering, optical engineering, or a related field; alternatively, a master’s degree plus industry experience in integrated photonics or semiconductor devices. - Strong understanding of passive and active integrated photonics device physics. - Experience with photonic component and circuit simulation tools, such as Lumerical MODE, FDTD, or Interconnect, or equivalent software. - Strong Python-based programming, data analysis, and visualization skills. - Hands-on PIC layout and tape-out experience with silicon photonics foundries.

Nice to have - Experience designing and characterizing integrated photodetectors, including device modeling and experimental assessment of performance.
