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 ResponsibilitiesLead 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.
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.
