Work for a leading global technology company, at the forefront of innovation in telecommunications and information technologies. We’re seeking a talented Photonics Design Expert to join the team and play a key role in shaping the future of light-based communication solutions.

Job Responsibilities

Collaborate within a team of photonic engineers and product designers to develop our silicon photonics device and product portfolio, shaping the future of information and communication technologies.
Lead new concept studies and product development projects from the R&D stage to new product introduction (NPI), driving innovation in next-generation communication infrastructure.
Design and model photonic components and circuits using industry-standard software, pushing the boundaries of optical technology.
Participate in chip design reviews to ensure designs meet all defined specifications, guaranteeing the reliability and performance of our communication solutions.
Validate designs through creation of test plans, statistical analysis of measurement data, and identification of any issues during the R&D phase, maintaining the highest quality standards in our products.
Champion the definition of PIC-based system architectures for groundbreaking applications, including new materials for high-baud-rate transceivers, optical DSP, 6G photonics, RF/mmWave photonics, photonics for AI, 3D/4D image sensing, and photonic neural networks, revolutionizing data transmission and processing capabilities.
Work closely with both local processing and test teams, as well as global component/module teams, fostering seamless collaboration across our international network.
Secure funding and resources for new R&D projects by effectively interacting with stakeholders, advocating for advancements in communication technologies.
Continuously support our R&D activities with new ideas and solutions through literature reviews and conference participation, staying at the forefront of the ever-evolving photonics landscape.

Requirements

In-depth knowledge of integrated optics and optoelectronic components and systems.
Ph.D. in Photonics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field, with 5+ years of experience in the photonics industry.
Proven experience in design and test of silicon photonics and III-V components.
Working knowledge of PIC integration with EICs, RF ICs, and driving circuitry in transceiver modules or similar sub-system applications.
Demonstrated track record of project/product management skills, bringing new photonic components or systems to high-volume production.
Experience in product development (spec definition, yield improvement strategies, customer focus, and business acumen for identifying new opportunities) is a plus.
Proven ability to secure internal funding for new R&D projects through effective communication with stakeholders, along with market/business landscape analysis.
Hands-on experience with photonics modeling tools (e.g., Photon Design, Lumerical, COMSOL, CST).
Hands-on experience with layout tools (e.g., Tanner L-Edit, Luceda Ipkiss).
Experience with Luceda Ipkiss and Python scripting is advantageous.
Experience with VPI software is a plus.

Language

Fluent in English (written and spoken).
Dutch or Chinese language proficiency is a benefit.

Attitude

Strong team player with a customer-centric approach.
Excellent written and oral communication skills.
Creative problem-solving skills.
Proactive and passionate about the field of photonics.
