Lead/Principal Active Component PIC Design Engineer

Stellenbeschreibung:

Lead/Principal Active Component PIC Design Engineer | Full-Time | Remote | up to €250k + Stock Options + Full Benefits

We’re seeking a commercial expert in Active Component Silicon Photonics to design and optimize high-speed active devices used in next-generation photonic integrated circuits. This role offers the chance to work across design, simulation, and testing, while influencing the future of scalable, high-bandwidth photonic systems.

You’ll own the design of high-performance components such as MZMs (Mach-Zehnder), ring modulators, and photodiodes, collaborating with fab teams, process engineers, and packaging experts.

You will need High Speed Transceiver experience with a minimum of 100gs, preferably up to 1600gs.

What You’ll Do

Lead design and optimization of active photonic components including modulators and detectors.
Perform full-cycle modelling, layout, and validation across multiple foundries.
Work with test and characterization teams to analyse performance and refine designs.
Contribute to documentation, IP development, and internal design standards.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a collaborative technical culture.

What You Bring

M.S. or Ph.D. in Photonics or related discipline.
7+ years in Commercial Silicon Photonics Design of High Speed Modulators and Transceivers.
High speed Silicon Photonics Design (100g, 200g. 400g, 800g, 1600g).
Proven expertise in FDTD/MODE/DEVICE tools (Lumerical, Ansys, or Tidy3D).
Experience with tapeouts across major SiPho foundries and understanding of process constraints.
Strong Python/MATLAB skills for data analysis and yield improvement.
Familiarity with co-design for ASIC interfaces and statistical modelling techniques.
