Apple, Inc.
Silicon photonics / Optical packaging engineer
Apple, Inc., Santa Clara, California, us, 95053
SummaryPosted: Jul 25, 2024Role Number:
200560653Silicon photonics (SiPh) technology is essential for realizing next-generation optical interconnects already implemented in data center connectivity and ready to penetrate into short distances within the boards. One critical technology to realize high-volume, low-cost SiPh optical interconnect applications is the development of high efficient optical I/O module architecture, assembly, optical coupling design, and process for single-mode fiber packaging. We are looking for a hardworking and passionate Si photonics & optical Packaging Engineer to join our team. In this highly visible role, you will develop Si photonics engine/chiplet packaging and co-packaging solutions utilizing advanced packaging technologies, define assembly baseline processes, decide package BOM, and establish optical coupling design/manufacturing that are optimized for performance, reliability, yield, and cost.DescriptionResponsible for leading Si photonics packaging technology development. Work with a cross-functional team and lead optical engine module, optical coupling design/fiber array connector, and co-packaging optics development efforts. Si photonics based optical engine package architecture / Package integration and drive micro-optical component assembly/interface characterization through Innovation. Work with optical component vendors, foundry, and OSAT to bring Si photonics packaging solutions from concept to HVM. Minimum 5% international travel.Excellent teamwork and communication skillsStrong theoretical background in optics and photonics fundamentals, device/module integrationB.S. plus 10 years of work experience in the related fieldHands-on experience in packaging and measuring fiber-coupled devicesHands-on experience in optical component design, simulation and qualification, and single/multi-mode fiber assembly using active and passive alignment toolsPreferred QualificationsM.S. and/or Ph.D. in Physics (Optics major), Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or an equivalent field desired, preferred.Min. 5 years of work experience in the related field with M.S. and/or Ph.D.Hands-on experience of CMOS BEOL wafer scale processing and flip chip assembly (CoC, CoW, WLP, ...) and experience with silicon photonics devices (laser, modulator, PD, passive components such as Si WG, MUX/DeMUX is a plus)Pay & BenefitsAt Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $175,800 and $312,200, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location. Apple employees also have the opportunity to become an Apple shareholder through participation in Apple's discretionary employee stock programs. Apple employees are eligible for discretionary restricted stock unit awards and can purchase Apple stock at a discount if voluntarily participating in Apple's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You'll also receive benefits including: comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, a range of discounted products and free services, and reimbursement for certain educational expenses - including tuition. Additionally, this role might be eligible for discretionary bonuses or commission payments as well as relocation.
