PHIZENIX
About the Role
We are looking for a highly experienced
Photonics Chip Lead
to take ownership of the design and delivery of advanced
Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)
for next-generation optical networking solutions. This role requires deep technical expertise in
Silicon Photonics systems, block and device design , as well as proficiency with
IC design tools and PIC/ASIC co-design methodologies . You will lead the full lifecycle of photonic chip development-from architecture through physical design and integration-collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams. Key Responsibilities Lead the
design and delivery
of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for core product lines. Drive all key phases of PIC development, including
architecture, photonic routing, schematic capture, modeling , and
physical layout . Collaborate closely with
analog, digital, and packaging teams
to ensure all product and integration requirements are met. Contribute to the
design and optimization of Silicon Photonics devices and subsystems , enhancing the internal photonics design kit (PDK) and design libraries. Qualifications
Specialized Skills Proven experience in
end-to-end Silicon Photonics PIC design , including
architecture, link budget analysis, and system integration . Expertise in
photonic circuit modeling and simulation
using industry-standard tools such as
Lumerical, Photon Design, RSoft, or VPI . Strong background with
physical design and layout tools
(e.g., Cadence, Mentor Graphics, or equivalent). Experience in
co-designing PICs with ASICs
and digital control systems. Familiarity with
data analysis platforms
like
JMP or DataConductor . Education
Master's degree
in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field (Ph.D. preferred). Experience
10+ years
of hands-on experience in Silicon Photonics design and product development. Attributes
Highly
self-driven
with a proactive and solution-oriented mindset. Excels in
collaborative, fast-paced environments . Excellent
verbal and written communication skills . Demonstrates strong
attention to detail
and creative problem-solving ability.
California Pay Range
$195,000-$235,000 USD
