Key Responsibilities: Design, model, and optimize silicon photonic devices, including grating couplers, waveguides, SOAs, and photodetectors, for high-speed AI computing applications. Collaborate with external foundries to develop manufacturable designs using process design kits (PDKs) and ensure successful tape-out of silicon photonic components. Perform design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) evaluations to ensure scalability and robust production. Conduct and interpret optical simulations using industry-standard tools (e.g., Lumerical, Ansys, COMSOL, or equivalent). Work with optical fiber assemblies and ensure seamless integration with high-speed photonic systems. Perform experimental validation and characterization of silicon photonic devices in the lab. Lead design reviews and contribute to the development of optical test plans, specifications, and manufacturing guidelines. Support the development of intellectual property (IP) and contribute to patent filings related to novel silicon photonic designs. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the continuous improvement of silicon photonics design methodologies. Qualifications: PhD in Photonics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline. Minimum of 10 years of industry experience in silicon photonics design, development. Demonstrated expertise in designing and optimizing photonic integrated circuits, including grating couplers, waveguides, SOAs, and photodetectors. Proven track record of taking silicon photonic devices from concept through to commercial production using leading foundries. Hands-on experience working with PDKs, performing DFM/DFT, and managing tape-outs. Experience characterizing and validating silicon photonic devices in a laboratory environment. Familiarity with optical fiber coupling and high-speed photonics applications. Seniority level
