Job Summary
Design and optimize silicon photonic devices and circuits, including high-speed modulators, photodetectors, and passive components. Perform multi-domain simulations to meet bandwidth and efficiency targets, then implement PIC layouts using foundry PDKs to support tapeouts. Co-design with electronics and packaging teams for CPO/NPO systems while driving silicon bring-up, characterization, and iterative improvements. Correlate measurements against simulations to refine designs and contribute to library development. This role is suitable for strong PhD graduates through early-career engineers seeking production-bound systems.
Required Qualifications
- PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field (silicon photonics or closely related area)
- 0–5 years of relevant experience (including fresh PhD graduates)
- Experience in design and simulation of silicon photonic devices or PICs
- Strong understanding of guided-wave optics and device physics
- Familiarity with tools such as Lumerical, COMSOL, or equivalent
- Exposure to PIC layout and tapeout flows (PDK, DRC/LVS)
- Basic understanding of optical communication systems and/or RF effects
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with high-speed devices (>100 GHz bandwidth or equivalent)
- Exposure to CPO/NPO or optical transceiver architectures
- Familiarity with SiPh + III-V integration
- Experience with inverse design / adjoint methods (e.g., Meep)
