Optoelectronic Design Engineer

The role

The Optoelectronic Design Engineer will design and simulate photonic components and electro-optic modulators. The role involves developing PIC layouts, automating simulations, and integrating designs into system architecture.

What you will do

• Design and simulate photonic components using tools like Lumerical
• Design and simulate electro-optic (EO) modulators and associated photonic devices
• Model electrical cross-talk and optimize electronic-photonic integration
• Develop RF back-end-of-line (BEOL) stack designs
• Develop photonic-integrated-circuit (PIC) layouts in IPKISS, GdsFactory, or similar tools
• Support internal process-design-kit (PDK) development and maintenance
• Automate and script simulations with Python or similar languages
• Collaborate with team members using Git for code management
• Integrate photonic designs into system architecture

Required qualifications

• MSc in Photonics, Electrical Engineering, or related
• 3+ years of experience in photonic and optoelectronic design
• Proficiency with EO material design and simulation
• Experience in Lumerical and PIC layout tools (eg. IPKISS, GdsFactory)
• Strong Python skills and experience with Git
• Proficiency in English

Nice to have

• PhD preferred
• Experience with Lumerical API, PDK development and quantum integrated photonics
• Expertise in EO materials, electrical cross-talk modeling, and RF BEOL stack design
• Knowledge of hybrid platforms such as Silicon Nitride and Lithium Niobate, particularly for scalable PIC designs

Benefits

• generous vacation time
• extensive educational opportunities
• a pension plan
• start-up benefits
• Participation in our equity plan is available after the first year
