This role sits at the intersection of advanced photonic engineering and next-generation AI-driven design tools, focused on transforming how integrated photonic circuits are developed, verified, and brought into production. You will work directly with engineering teams, foundry partners, and enterprise customers to bridge complex PIC development workflows with structured, AI-assisted engineering environments. Operating across design, simulation, tapeout, and yield analysis, you will help translate real-world photonics challenges into scalable, verifiable workflows. The position blends deep technical expertise with customer-facing responsibilities, requiring both hands-on engineering insight and the ability to guide solution adoption in production environments. You will contribute to shaping tools that accelerate semiconductor and photonics innovation at scale. This is a highly collaborative role within a cutting-edge environment where physics, software, and AI converge to redefine hardware development.
Accountabilities
You will be responsible for enabling and optimizing photonic engineering workflows through AI-assisted platforms, working closely with customers and internal teams to accelerate design and production outcomes. Your work will directly influence how integrated photonic systems are modeled, simulated, verified, and deployed. Key responsibilities include:
- Architect AI-assisted workflows for photonic design, verification, and yield improvement across customer engineering environments.
- Translate complex PIC development processes (simulation setup, modeling, variability analysis, layout-aware optimization, and measurement interpretation) into structured, verifiable workflows.
- Collaborate directly with customer engineering teams to identify bottlenecks and implement deployable, high-impact solutions.
- Integrate workflows with existing EDA tools, foundry ecosystems, and simulation environments to ensure seamless adoption.
- Develop physics-based and data-enriched models that improve design accuracy, iteration speed, and process robustness.
- Work closely with internal technology and product teams to transform customer insights into scalable platform capabilities.
- Support technical engagements with engineering leaders, EDA partners, and foundries to ensure alignment and execution quality.
Requirements
You bring a strong background in integrated photonics or related engineering disciplines, with hands-on experience across the full PIC development lifecycle. You are comfortable working at the boundary of research, engineering, and applied product development, and can translate complex technical concepts into practical workflows. Key qualifications include:
- MSc or PhD in integrated photonics, electrical engineering, telecommunications, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in photonic product development, ideally including production or market deployment.
- Strong experience with photonics simulation and design tools (e.g., COMSOL, Ansys, RSoft, Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys OptoCompiler, Luceda IPKISS).
- Expertise in photonic component design such as modulators, photodiodes, and high-speed systems.
- Experience working with EDA vendors, foundries, or manufacturing partners on technical solution delivery.
- Familiarity with multi-objective co-design and system-level engineering trade-offs.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to engage effectively across technical and business stakeholders.
- Collaborative mindset with a strong ability to work in cross-functional, customer-facing environments.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation package
- Stock options plan enabling participation in company growth
- Access to advanced AI, photonics, and EDA engineering tools
- Exposure to cutting-edge scientific and engineering research environments
- Opportunities to attend conferences and engage with global research communities
- Strong focus on professional development and technical growth
- Impact-driven culture focused on AI innovation in hardware and photonics
