Designer

We are looking for motivated talents to join our team in developing cutting-edge silicon photonics devices. The responsibilities include:

1. Device Development: Design and develop high-performance passive and active silicon photonics devices (e.g., couplers, splitters, polarization splitters/rotators, MUX/DEMUX, phase shifters, photodetectors, modulators, etc.) for optical transceivers, co-packaged optics, and optical switches.

2. Process Innovation: Collaborate with industrial silicon photonics foundries to co

develop innovative process flows for next-generation photonic devices.

3. Device Simulation: Perform comprehensive device simulations and build numerical

models to predict device performance.

4. Layout Design: Create tape-out layouts for foundries and follow up to ensure timely delivery.

5. Testing & Optimization: Conduct detailed optical and electrical testing, perform root cause analysis, and iteratively enhance device performance.

6. Team Contribution: Play a key role in the design and development of large-scale

photonic integrated circuits (PICs).

Requirements

We are seeking candidates with the following qualifications:

1. Educational Background: PhD in Electrical Engineering or related fields, with strong research experience in silicon photonics.

2. Additional Expertise: Experience in quantum photonics or optical computing is a plus.

3. Industry Experience: Experience with tape-out processes in photonic foundries and familiarity with photonic PDKs.

4. Technical Proficiency: Skilled in simulation tools such as Lumerical MODE, FDTD,

CHARGE, Ansys HFSS, and Silvaco.

5. Programming Skills: Proficient in Python and MATLAB for modeling and data

analysis.

6. Communication: Strong communication skills, with fluency in English and/or Chinese.

7. Team Player: Proven ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
