Metasurface Resonant Photonic Design Intern - 988

The role

You will design, simulate and optimize resonant photonic devices. You will work with larger photonics and optics teams to develop new photonic devices.

What you will do

• Design, simulate, and optimize resonant photonic devices.
• Collaborate with larger photonics and optics teams to develop novel and impactful photonic devices.

Required qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a Physics or Engineering PhD program intended on graduating on/after August 2027
