Senior Silicon Photonics Engineer
senior
via Ashby
About this role
Role Overview
You will design high-speed silicon photonic integrated circuits operating at the limits of bandwidth and integration, and take them from concept → tapeout → silicon validation.
This role is suitable for strong PhD graduates through early-career engineers (~0–5 years experience) who want to work on real, production-bound systems, not just simulations.
Roles & Responsibilities
- Design and optimize silicon photonic devices and circuits, including:
- High-speed modulators (MZI, ring, advanced structures)
- Photodetectors and receiver building blocks
- Passive components (couplers, filters, routing)
- Perform multi-domain simulations (EM, circuit, thermal) to meet targets in:
- Bandwidth (200G/lane+)
- Insertion loss, extinction ratio, efficiency…
