Silicon Photonics Device Designer

Job Scope 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.
