Senior Silicon Photonics Design Engineer- (Hybrid)
Required skills
Bachelor’s degree in Optics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field and 7+ years of experience in an engineering role Experience designing passive and active silicon photonics components (e.g. grating couplers, photodetectors, modulators, filters) or subsystems that use them. Experience using software modeling tools such as Ansys/Lumerical, Silvaco, or Photon Design. Experience using CAD layout tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, kLayout, etc.
Preferred skills
Master’s degree in Optics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field and 5+ years of experience in an engineering role or PhD in Optics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field and 2+ years of experience. Experience with optical test equipment (e.g. tunable lasers, detectors, OSA, VNA) and microwave measurement techniques, as well as with statistical analysis tools (e.g. JMP). Experience with the design of integrated electronic circuits that interface with active silicon photonics components (e.g., TIAs, modulator drivers).
