Teams at Plessey Semiconductors Limited

Designs and simulates VCSELs for microLED and optical interconnect applications. Builds optical, electrical, and thermal models; runs FDTD simulations; analyzes modulation response and device performance; conducts parametric studies to guide epitaxial design, apertures, mirrors, and layouts; and validates models against experimental LIV, spectral, and high-speed data.

Designs, analyzes, and qualifies precision optomechanical components and assemblies for photonic systems. Responsibilities include CAD modeling, tolerance analysis, GD&T, optical alignment, manufacturing process selection, thermal and structural analysis, prototype and reliability testing, DFM/DFA improvements, supplier coordination, and root-cause investigation. Collaborates with optical and photonics engineers on packaging and integration for lasers, detectors, fibers, micro-optics, and photonic integrated circuits.

Build secure, efficient data pipelines and Model Context Protocol connectors that enable AI agents to access and use manufacturing, engineering, quality, and business data. Test and evaluate agents for accuracy, reliability, token efficiency, and cost; implement access controls, privacy protections, audit trails, monitoring, and production observability. Collaborate with IT, data owners, vendors, and business teams to deliver measurable productivity improvements.
