We are hiring a Photonics Technical Lead to join our laser development team. In this role, you will develop integrated and highly scalable laser solutions for silicon photonics AI communications and computation. You will work closely with cross-disciplinary engineering teams both internally and across our ecosystem of manufacturing partners to assess the technical feasibility of product requirements, develop an engineering plan to meet architectural specifications, execute new product designs for laser solutions, and validate system performance on hardware.This role requires a deep understanding of complex multi-domain platforms as well as integrated silicon photonics and the requirements of datacom systems. You will navigate the design space of performance, schedule, reliability, power consumption, and cost, working in tandem with stakeholders across the company to identify optimal and innovative engineering solutions. Creativity, analytical skills, and clear communication skills are a necessity.Join a tight-knit team where each individual's contributions directly influence the success of the company and product. Youll have the opportunity to build innovative laser solutions from the ground up and tackle groundbreaking challenges. Work with people who love to build and who thrive in diverse technical environments where great ideas are prioritized.ResponsibilitiesEngage with a cross-functional team to design and deliver a successful high-volume laser productCollaborate with product and architecture teams to drive new laser conceptsWork closely with hardware and software teams to translate high level laser module product requirements and architecture specifications into a detailed engineering execution planEngage in problem-solving to resolve design and manufacturing challenges for innovative high-performance laser solutionsActively collaborate across disciplines-with electronics, photonics, mechanical, thermal and package-design engineering teams-to build laser systems, control algorithms, PICs, and control ASICs that meet performance, power, and production requirementsCollaborate with control-system and test engineers to define production test and validation protocols, as well as to characterize components and debug test results from prototype level to validationWork with external vendors to ensure timely development and delivery of key processes and componentsRequirements:A Ph.D. degree in Photonics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or similar discipline with at least 3 years of post-degree relevant experience, or equivalent experienceMinimum 8 years of experience in photonic devices, photonic integrated circuits, and semiconductor physicsStrong understanding of silicon photonicsExperience of closely collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams, like photonics design, packaging, thermal, system engineering and firmware to name a few.Ability to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders with strong and clear communicationDemonstrated strong problem solving skills specifically pertaining to problems that do not have obvious solutionsPreferred Qualifications:Strong understanding of laser physicsExperience in lasers or silicon photonics for datacom applicationsExperience with control systems and system engineeringExperience working in a high volume manufacturing environmentDemonstrated technical leadership of a cross-functional teamWilling and able to learn quickly, self-starter with a "no task is too big or small" attitude
