Photonic Circuit Design Engineer

You will own the design, simulation, and tape-out of photonic integrated circuits at the core of our computing platform. This is a hands‑on, end‑to‑end role from device‑level design through layout, verification, and working directly with foundry partners to bring chips to silicon. You will collaborate closely with our EIC design, packaging, and measurements teams.

Key Responsibilities

Design and simulate photonic devices and circuits (waveguides, modulators, detectors, couplers, etc.)

Own layout, DRC/LVS, and tape‑out for photonic designs end‑to‑end

Work across teams to ensure photonic designs meet system‑level electrical and optical requirements

Interface with the packaging team on photonic assembly and integration constraints

Collaborate with the measurements team to define and support device characterization

Required Qualifications

5+ years of experience in photonic integrated circuit design

Proficiency in Lumerical, Cadence, Synopsys, and KLayout

Demonstrated experience owning tape‑outs from design through tape‑out

Deep understanding of silicon photonics device physics

Strong track record in industry; candidates with photonics research backgrounds (PhD/postdoc) will also be considered

Even Better If You Have

Experience with co‑packaged optics or photonic‑electronic integration

Familiarity with high‑speed electro‑optic modulator design
