Silicon Photonics Design Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced

Silicon Photonics Design Engineer

to join our client's growing R&D team in Singapore. You will contribute to the development of cutting edge silicon photonics devices.

Key Responsibilities

Device Development:

Design and optimize high-performance passive and active photonic devices, including couplers, splitters, polarization splitters/rotators, MUX/DEMUX, phase shifters, photodetectors and modulators.

Develop photonic devices and PICs for applications including

high-speed optical transceivers, co-packaged optics (CPO) and optical switching

.

Simulation & Modelling:

Perform optical/electrical device simulations and develop numerical models to evaluate and optimize device performance.

PIC Layout & Tape-out:

Develop device and PIC layouts for foundry tape-out and coordinate the design-to-fabrication process.

Foundry & Process Development:

Work closely with silicon photonics foundries to evaluate and develop new processes and device technologies for next-generation photonic platforms.

Device Characterization:

Perform optical and electrical characterization, analyze measurement results, identify root causes and drive design improvements.

Contribute to the architecture, design, integration and development of

large-scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs)

.

Collaborate closely with cross-functional R&D teams across device design, IC design, packaging, testing and product development.

Requirements

PhD in Electrical Engineering or related fields, with strong research experience in silicon photonics.

Strong understanding of

silicon photonic devices, integrated photonics and optical device physics

.

Hands-on experience with

photonic foundry tape-outs and photonic PDKs

.

Proficiency with relevant simulation tools such as

Lumerical MODE/FDTD/CHARGE, Ansys HFSS and/or Silvaco

.

Experience with

Python and/or MATLAB

for device modelling, simulation and data analysis.

Experience in the design, fabrication and characterization cycle of photonic devices or PICs.

Exposure to

quantum photonics, optical computing or other emerging photonic technologies

would be advantageous.
