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 test/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
• Testing 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. or Ph.D. in electrical engineering, applied physics, or related field
• 3 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
• Familiarity with III-V Design
• Die-Scale/Wafer-Scale Prober or Photonics Lab equipment automation and remote control
• Communication with Contract Manufacturing
