Job Description
We are currently looking for a Silicon Photonics Engineer to join the photonics team at Analog Photonics. The role entails working collaboratively and cross-functionally with a multi-disciplinary team of CMOS, Electronics, and Systems engineers. Tasks will include design, layout and verification of a variety of gain elements, electro-optic phase shifters/modulators, thermo-optic phase shifters/switches and passive components such as splitters, couplers and high-Q filters/gratings. The silicon photonics components and subsystems will then be co-integrated in complex systems. The candidate will work with a variety of teams to support the calibration, operation, and qualification of these chip-scale systems. This is a great opportunity for anyone with the requisite background who wants to gain experience in product design, prototyping, and manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, Model, Layout and Verification of III-V/Silicon Photonics devices
- Work with wafer-scale/die-scale tester to develop seamless data acquisition
- Communicate with foundries to develop manufacturable photonic devices
- Interface with packaging service suppliers and communicating technical drawings.
- Generate reports for internal deliverables and external customer interaction
- Execute current and new projects from start to finish
- Contribute technically to new funding opportunities
Required Qualifications
- M.S. (Ph.D. preferred) in electrical engineering, applied physics, or related field
- 5 years of integrated photonics component or system design and test
- Electromagnetic simulations in FDTD, Modesolvers, etc. (e.g. Lumerical/Synopsys)
- Mask layout in Cadence Virtuoso
- Taping out photonic devices in a foundry setting (full reticle or MPW) with complex layout and DRC
- Photonic component testing experience with standard positioners, tunable lasers
- Proficient in scientific analysis software (MATLAB, Python)
Ideal Qualifications
- High-speed RF/electro-optic photonic design and test
- TCAD simulation (i.e. Synopsys Sentaurus)
- Familiarity with III-V Design
- Die-Scale/Wafer-Scale Prober or Photonics Lab equipment automation and remote control
- Chip-scale Optoelectronics Packaging
- Communication with Contract Manufacturing
