This position will be responsible for developing silicon photonics components and photonic integrated circuits (PIC's) to support next-generation data communications and 5G optical network applications. The responsibility spans from concept design, modeling & simulation to layout, and product testing.

The position could be a junior, senior, or principal role depending on candidate’s qualification.

The scope of the responsibilities includes:

• Passive & active photonic device design, simulation, and layout using state-of-the-art modelling and layout tools
• Device and PIC test/characterization
• interacting with the silicon foundry

Qualifications and Skills

• Ph.D (or Master's) in Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related discipline with emphasis on Integrated Photonics, with 2+ yr (5+yr for Master degree holder) direct experience in Silicon Photonics device design
• Direct experience in design flow and layout scripting
• Tape-out experience with at least one Silicon Photonic foundry, and its PDK
• Experience with passive optics, such as edge coupler, grating coupler, MMI, polarization converter are strongly desired
• Experience with photonic test instrumentation, hands-on in the lab
• Experience with high-frequency electrical design and modeling is a plus
• Experience with optical subassembly processes, placement/alignment procedures and related technology is a plus
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Good communication skills, self-motivation, and team player attributes
