The successful candidate will work cross-functionally with photonic IC-architects, CAD-layout engineers, process engineers and test engineers, in order to define, design, integrate and validate optical components in OpenLight’s Si-IIIV technology platform.


Why Join Us

Be part of a cutting-edge startup with a strong history of technology innovation. Work alongside a team of talented professionals in the field of silicon photonics – both new and industry veterans. Competitive salary and benefits package and opportunity for career growth and professional development. If you are highly motivated and technically proficient apply today to help shape the future of optical applications. To apply, please send your resume and a cover letter highlighting your relevant experience.


Responsibilities

  • Use custom built and commercial simulation tools to design and model silicon and SiN photonic optical components such as: Mach-Zehnder Interferometers and modulators, ring resonators and modulators, multimode interference couplers, directional couplers, waveguides, Bragg gratings, etc.
  • Use custom built and commercial simulation tools to design and model Si and III-V based components such as: photodetectors, amplitude- and phase-modulators, Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers, Lasers, etc.
  • Perform photonic integrated circuit CAD layout of integrated optical components and circuits
  • Perform engineering level test-data analysis to optimize and validate optical component performance
  • Perform statistical analysis of large production datasets to validate performance over process and drive yield improvements
  • Work closely with process engineers to define and optimize the device structures and process, and drive yield improvements for devices and PICs
  • Develop compact models for optical components in OpenLight’s silicon photonics PDK
  • Work cross-functionally, driving device-centric failure analysis 


Skills & Preferred Experience

  • Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics or related discipline
  • Hands-on experience with designing passive Si/SiN and/or active III-V photonic integrated circuit devices
  • Well versed in photonics design & simulation tools (mode solvers, FDTD, beam propagation, scattering matrix modelling)
  • Strong understanding of semiconductor processing and how process variations interact with photonic component performance
  • Hands-on experience with testing of integrated optical devices at wafer and/or die level is a plus
  • Proficiency in programming with scripting languages (preferably Python)
  • Experience with statistical analysis of large datasets using statistical software or toolboxes (E.g. JMP) is a plus
  • Familiarity with commercial layout tools is a plus
  • Strong problem solving, communication, organizational, interpersonal, and presentation skills
