Photonics Design Engineer

Job description

⌕ Job Overview: This role will focus on the design, optimisation, and development of high performance photonic components for next generation Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), contributing directly to our future tape-outs and core IP roadmap. You will work closely with photonics designers, layout engineers, and testing teams to improve the performance of integrated photonic devices through theoretical analysis, simulation, modelling, and design innovation. This is a highly technical role suited to someone who enjoys solving difficult physics and engineering problems in a collaborative deep-tech environment. You will contribute to the development of key building blocks within our optical switching and photonic systems roadmap, and other integrated photonic components critical to future high port count architectures. Depending on experience, we are open to candidates at Senior, Lead, or Principal level. ✎ What you'll be doing: Design and optimise integrated photonic components for silicon photonics and related PIC platforms Perform electromagnetic simulations, modelling, and theoretical analysis to improve device performance Validate simulation results against experimental measure...
