About the Role

We are seeking an Experimental Photonics Scientist to join our team at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). As an Experimental Photonics Scientist, you will be part of a team of computational and experimental physicists and engineers who are passionate about developing innovative solutions for integrated photonics.

Key Responsibilities
  • Use computational approaches to optimize the design of custom photonic integrated circuits (PICs)
  • Leverage software tools to layout PICs for quick-turn manufacturing at various multi-project wafer (MPW) foundries
  • Develop and maintain APL's internal component/sub-system library for fabless PIC manufacturing
  • Work with materials scientists and additive manufacturing engineers to augment PICs with novel materials
  • Conduct benchtop validation testing of PICs
  • Conduct validation testing of micro-photonic systems for qualified flight/space-flight operation
  • Develop independent research and development concepts and present/publish results in an effective and timely fashion
Requirements
  • Hold a Master's degree in Physics or Electrical Engineering
  • Have 1+ year experience building integrated, fiber-optical and free-space photonics systems
  • Have working experience with scientific programming tools like MATLAB and Python to analyze the propagation of light in photonics systems
  • Be able to obtain an Interim Secret security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Secret level clearance
Preferred Qualifications
  • Hold a Ph.D. in a field related to integrated photonics
  • Have experience in physics-based modeling of photonic components using tools from COMSOL, MEEP/MBP, Tidy3D, Ansys Lumerical, etc.
  • Have a consistent record of layout of photonic integrated circuits using script-based layout tools (GDSfactory, OptoDesigner, Nazca, etc.)
  • Have experience with programming embedded microcontrollers
