About the role
- The hiring level and scope for this role will be calibrated to the selected candidate's experience and strengths.
- Candidates with relevant PhD/postdoctoral exposure, as well as those with additional industryexperience, are encouraged to apply.
- A successful candidate is expected to have hands-on experience and knowledge in active photonic technologies such as electro-optic phase shifters, switches, modulators, and related components.
Responsibilities
- Design, simulate, and optimize novel integrated photonic devices and photonic integrated circuits for quantum computing
- Take a leading role in photonic tapeouts, including hands-on layout, DOE and circuit design, planning, and interfacing with stakeholders such as packaging teams and electronic driver designers
- Collaborate with dedicated test and lab teams to
- Develop new test methods when needed
- Develop and implement new analysis methods as necessary
- Collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams to build, test, and characterize high-performance photonic chips and assemblies, including assembly-level characterization of builds that integrate photonic circuits, PCBs, drivers, and related hardware.
Requirements
- MS or PhD in electrical engineering, applied physics, optical engineering, or related discipline
- PhD with relevant exposure to integrated photonics and electro-optic devices required; 3+ years of industry experience in integrated photonics technologies is strongly preferred, experience includes:
- Deep expertise in integrated photonic devices-including both passive and active components-with a strong focus on electro-optic phase shifters and modulators (e.g., in thin-film lithium niobate, BTO, doped silicon, or III-V materials such as InP, GaAs, AlGaAs, InGaAsP); experience with high-speed operation (10 GHz bandwidth and beyond) and experimental characterization is a strong plus.
- Experience in the design and modeling of photonic and electro-optic components using industry-standard tools such as Ansys Lumerical, Tidy3D, COMSOL Multi-physics, Meep, etc.
