Lightium, a cutting-edge photonics startup, is seeking a highly skilled Senior Photonic Application Engineer to support our customers by being their primary technical contact and develop complex PIC systems. This role, central within the organisation, creates the hub between our customers’ success and our R&D teams.

Position Summary

As a Senior Photonic Application Engineer, you will be a crucial part of our customer support team, ensuring seamless communication and technical guidance throughout the PIC development process. You will leverage your experience in integrated photonics design to assist customers through the whole cycle from initial idea and design to prototyping, production and packaging, ensuring their requirements are met and their expectations exceeded.

Key Responsibilities

Central Role: Act as a key liaison between Lightium’s R&D teams and customers, ensuring effective communication and collaboration to ensure successful projects.

Customer Relationship: Serve as the first technical contact for customers, understanding their specific needs and providing expert guidance on PIC design and layout.

Design Support: Help customers design and layout their PICs, offering insights and solutions to optimize performance and compatibility with Lightium’s PDK and design rules as well as characterization and packaging standards. Conduct thorough design rules checks (DRC) to ensure customer designs meet all required specifications and standards.

Production Updates: Keep customers informed on the status of their PICs throughout the production process, addressing any concerns and providing timely updates.

Technical Skills: Proficiency in PIC design and EDA software, such as Luceda IPKISS, Synopsys, or Nazca, and extensive experience with design rules checks (DRC). Strong know-how and knowledge about various PIC systems ranging from telecom to quantum and sensing. Strong experience with PDKs as well as testing and electro-optics packaging requirements.

Customer-Centric: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a demonstrated ability to understand and address customer needs.

Problem-Solving: Strong analytical skills and a proactive approach to solving technical challenges.

Adaptability: Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, demonstrating flexibility and resilience in the face of change.
