We are looking for a Sr Photonics Engineer with a focus on collaborating with the industry’s design and foundry partners, and internal design stake owners to establish advanced photonics technology capabilities for next generation optical interconnect. This individual should be interested in supporting and leading programs devoted to the design, development, and applications of Si photonics technology for photonics interconnect in application of hyperscale and AI computing. This person will apply strong understanding of photonics principles and knowledge on integrating devices into a PIC considering system requirements that include both to meet application performance and also to enable practically manufacturable optical module production.

Responsibilities

• Expert level understanding of advanced Si photonics technology, devices such as laser, to explore innovation of new optical devices
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary design teams to ensure the PIC design is well considered and validated to integrate with other critical components, in optical mechanical and module fabrication processes, in hardware circuit and controls etc..
• Bring up new photonics features in custom opto-electronic hardware
• Perform tests, improve test procedures and analyze data to enable improvements in device performance and product yield
• Work closely with teams developing laser, package, photonic, and electronic circuits to ensure product success
• Work with system architecture to define photonics interconnect need for hyperscale, AI computing, and network switching / routing system.

Qualifications

• PhD degree in Engineering, Physics, Photonics or related technical field
• 5-10 years of industry experience in designing or managing optoelectronics component design and development
• At least 3 years of industry experience with Si photonics
• Experienced in leading the development of Si photonics PIC solutions
• Expertise with photonic design tools, such as Lumerical, Tidy3D, COMSOL, RSoft.
• Need to have hands on experience on using cadence virtuoso. Should have done tape out with the like of Global Foundry, Tower Jazz or other silicon photonics fab.
• Strong knowledge on high speed optoelectronics device design
• Good knowledge on CMOS semiconductor process
• Good knowledge on semiconductor wafer backend and package ecosystem
• Good knowledge on EDA or EPDA tools for PIC design, simulation and tape out process.
