Job Summary
You will own the design, simulation, and tape-out of photonic integrated circuits at the core of our computing platform. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role from device-level design through layout, verification, and working directly with foundry partners to bring chips to silicon. You will collaborate closely with our EIC design, packaging, and measurements teams.
Key Responsibilities
- •Design and simulate photonic devices and circuits (waveguides, modulators, detectors, couplers, etc.)
- •Own layout, DRC/LVS, and tape-out for photonic designs end-to-end
- •Work across teams to ensure photonic designs meet system-level electrical and optical requirements
- •Interface with the packaging team on photonic assembly and integration constraints
- •Collaborate with the measurements team to define and support device characterization
Minimum Requirements
- •5+ years of experience in photonic integrated circuit design
- •Proficiency in Lumerical, Cadence, Synopsys, and KLayout
- •Demonstrated experience owning tape-outs from design through tapeout
- •Deep understanding of silicon photonics device physics
- •Strong track record in industry; candidates with photonics research backgrounds (PhD/postdoc) will also be considered
Even Better If You Have
- •Experience with co-packaged optics or photonic-electronic integration
- •Familiarity with high-speed electro-optic modulator design
Were reviewing applications on a rolling basis and will reach out to shortlisted candidates.
