Job Summary

We seek a skilled Photonic Design Engineer with a strong focus on modelling, simulation, and optimising novel photonic and electro-optical systems and sub-systems based on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN). The ideal candidate will contribute to developing our process design kit (PDK) component library and novel PIC circuits, ensuring top-tier performance and integration.

Key Responsibilities
  • Photonic Design: Develop and optimise various photonics PDK components, including passive, electro-optics, and active components based on TFLN using FEM or FDTD simulation methods in Lumerical or COMSOL.
  • PDK Development: Develop, implement, and maintain the PDK in various EDA design software, such as Nazca, Luceda, and Synopsys. This PDK encompasses both layouts and physical models of each component.
  • PIC Circuits Layout: Model and simulate PIC designs (including GDS layouts) at the circuit level, focusing on innovative solutions to improve performance and reliability.
  • Collaboration: Collaborate with the fabrication team to ensure designs are manufacturable and meet quality standards, and implement the PDK physical models based on statistical measurements.
  • Customer Guidance: Provide technical support and expertise to our sales and marketing teams, assisting in customer engagement and product specification.
  • Technical Expertise: Stay up-to-date with industry trends and advancements in PIC technology and design methodologies.
  • Documentation: Document and maintain comprehensive records of PDK revisions, updates, and usage guidelines.
  • EU Projects: Participate in and contribute to international, national, and public-funded projects (e.g., HorizonEurope), including at the technical level and in grant writing and reporting.
Requirements
  • Educational Background: A PhD or Master degree in Photonics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience: A minimum of 3 years of experience in integrated photonics and microwave photonics and a minimum of 2 years of experience in PIC design, modelling, and optimisation is required.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in FEM simulation tools for photonic and electronic design, such as Lumerical, COMSOL or similar. Good knowledge of EDA design tools like IPKISS (Luceda), Nazca, or Synopsys Opto-Designer. Expertise in Python coding is a must.
  • Communication Skills: Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team. Ability and interest to interact with customers, understand their design needs and propose solutions.
  • 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.
  • Language Skills: Fluency in English is required; knowledge of German or French is an advantage.
What We Offer
  • A unique opportunity to lead a cutting-edge manufacturing initiative in the rapidly growing field of photonics.
  • A collaborative and innovative work environment where your contributions will shape the future of telecommunications, datacom, and beyond.
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package, including employee stock option plan (ESOP), reflective of your experience and expertise.
  • Become a key player in an early-phase startup and be part of a young, motivated, and energetic team. You will have the unique opportunity to create, grow, and develop your professional skills at a fast pace.
