Semiconductor Laser Design Engineer

Ayo is a venture-backed early-stage startup that will radically re-define how humanity performs compute for AI. Our photonic processors will provide orders of magnitude improvement in speed and power efficiency in comparison to conventional digital compute platforms by taking advantage of the natural parallelism, speed and energy efficiency of light.ResponsibilitiesSimulate/design III-V epitaxies optimized for our applicationDesign test structures for measurement of electronic and optical properties of fabricated epitaxial wafersDesign, tape out and test integrated lasers and SOAsWork with systems, electronic, and AI teams to design prototype chipsMentor & guide junior photonics engineers and photonics test engineersQualificationsPhD or MS with 5+ years experienceExperience designing, taping out or fabricating, and testing integrated semiconductor lasers, LEDs and/or SOAsExperience using commercial simulation tools (such as Ansys/Lumerical, Tidy3D, PhotonDesign or similar)Proficiency with PythonPreferred QualificationsExperience designing multi-quantum well and/or quantum dot structuresExperience designing and laying out photonic integrated circuitsExperience probing/testing photonic integrated circuitsExperience with advanced packaging of photonic integrated circuits such as hybrid or flip-chip integrationContactMike Gould (mike@ayoelectronics.com)#J-18808-Ljbffr
