Integrated Photonics Technical Leader - Acacia (Hybrid)
Core
Design, simulate, layout, and characterize integrated photonic components and circuits for high-speed optical communication systems, supporting the transition from prototype to volume production.
Role type
Senior IC Integrated Photonics Engineer (Technical Lead)
Builds
High-speed coherent optical transceivers, PAM4 client-optics, and photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for hyperscale cloud providers and data centers.
Domain
Telecommunications / Optical Interconnects / Semiconductor Manufacturing
Required skills
Integrated photonics, optoelectronics, electromagnetic theory, numerical methods for photonic-device simulation, photonic-device fabrication processes, GDS layout and tapeout, hands-on characterization of photonic components.
Preferred skills
Large-scale PIC tapeouts through commercial foundries, high-speed optical modulators and photodetectors design, electronic-photonic co-design, multiple material platforms (silicon, TFLN, III-V), yield and reliability analysis, scripting for automation.
Technologies
FDTD, HFSS, COMSOL Multiphysics
Responsibilities
Design passive and active integrated photonic components; develop and validate numerical models using multiphysics simulation; create GDS layouts and support tapeouts; perform hands-on characterization at die, wafer, and assembled-device levels; analyze measurement data and correlate with models; support product integration and volume production.
Seniority
Senior, hands-on IC
