Photonics Design Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Design and simulate active/passive integrated photonic devices and circuits.
• Develop photonic device models and optimize performance metrics (efficiency, bandwidth, loss).
• Collaborate with fabrication teams to ensure design manufacturability (DFM).
• Conduct design verification and performance analysis via simulation and experimental data correlation.
• Support product development from concept to volume production.
• Document specifications and support test/integration teams.
• Other ad-hoc duties as assigned

Requirements:

• Master Degree with 3 years industry experience or PhD in EE/Optics/Physics
• Proficiency in photonic simulation tools (Lumerical, COMSOL, etc.).
• Strong knowledge of photonic device principles (waveguides, modulators, detectors, lasers)
• Experience with semiconductor fabrication processes and DFM.
• Familiarity with scripting for automation (Python, MATLAB).
• Background in silicon photonics, III-V, or hybrid integration is a plus.
• Strong analytical skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams.
