III-V Device Design Engineer for Silicon Photonics Integration
Ofcconference, Santa Clara, CA, United States
Overview Skorpios Technologies, Inc., an innovator in heterogeneous integration of silicon photonic technology and semiconductor development, is rapidly expanding. We are in search of a top-level III-V Device Design Engineer for developing next-generation Si Photonics chip and module products. This is an opportunity to work with a highly motivated, high performance technical team on highly differentiated, disruptive technology.
Job Purpose The III-V Device Design Engineer for Silicon Photonics integration role is responsible for supporting the development of next generation Si-Photonic Data Communications solutions in Skorpios’ Integration and Process Development Engineering team. The III-V Device Design Engineer will develop high performance III-V devices including high-power and high efficiency Laser, EAM and MZM high-speed modulators, Uni Traveling Carrier high-speed photodetectors. The design must be tailored for our unique technology platform and optimized for meeting challenging specs. The tasks include electrical, RF, and optical simulations, design for fabrication and testing, design review, working with layout engineers, characterization of devices, data analysis, and performance report.
Responsibilities Design, Model and Simulate high efficiency Laser, EAM and MZM high-speed modulators, Uni Traveling Carrier high-speed photodetectors
Model and Simulate Resistance and Capacitance effects from EAM and MZM Modulators, Photodiodes and Laser Diodes to provide improved RF performance of the components into integrated circuits
Perform impedance matching over large frequency range
Establish tolerance and process design rules to enable DRC for Designs and Layouts
Direct HPIC Layout of designed components
DOE Design and Design Validation Testing
Design Review Support and Presentation
Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
Establish schematics Designs for Layout
Using computer software to design III-V components and optimize for RF performance of optical to electrical conversion efficiency
RF device testing and electrical/optical s-parameter measurement and characterization
Required Education and Experience Education M.S. or Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Material Science or a related field. Photonics or a related discipline with emphasis in optical communications and high speed optical III-V components.
Alternatively, PhD graduate who has done outstanding research work on directly related devices may be accepted for the position
Experience 10+ years experience
Deep understanding of Lasers, MZM, photodiodes and EAM devices is a must.
Extensive industrial experience in photonics (Si or III-V) device design and characterization is preferred, with a proven track record of success, from concept to manufacturing.
Familiar with components reliability concepts.
Skills/Knowledge/Abilities Solid understanding of Epitaxy constraints, band structures, quantum effects, carriers diffusion, optical modes for optical communications.
Understand how to design various III-V devices, including high-power and high efficiency Laser, EAM and MZM high-speed modulators, Uni Traveling Carrier high-speed photodetectors.
Proficient in design and simulations for III-V active photonic devices.
Familiar with optoelectrical device characterization and analysis.
Familiar with components reliability concepts.
Ability to work with processing engineers to define fabrication methods.
Strong problem-solving skills with demonstrated track of record.
Ability to work hard in a dynamic start-up environment.
Thrives in fast-paced environment.
Excellent verbal and writing communication skills.
Travel Requirements Less than 25% anticipated
Other Duties Please note this job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties, or responsibilities that are required of the job. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change at any time with or without notice at the discretion of the company.
Work Environment Work is primarily performed in a temperature-controlled, open cubicle setting. Frequent interruptions and conversational noise can be expected.
Work Authorization/Security Clearance Requirements Authorization may be required to release covered technology to employees who are not U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, lawful permanent residents, asylees, or refugees.
Compensation and Benefits Skorpios embraces a Total Compensation philosophy that includes a base salary, eligibility for an annual discretionary bonus, and, for many positions, stock-based compensation. We offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package designed to support employee health, welfare, and retirement. Highlights include healthcare benefits, a 401(k) savings plan, and paid time off.
The actual starting base salary will be determined based on role-related criteria, including educational qualifications or equivalent experience, relevant work history, and the skills required for the role. This is not an exhaustive list, as some roles may demand unique skills or expertise.
