Integrated Photonic Test Engineer The Integrated Photonic Test Engineer joins the Photonic Integrated Circuits team to develop and support next-generation integrated photonic components for telecommunications, data centers, and AI infrastructure. This role involves devising, developing, and executing engineering tests for novel optical components at the die, wafer, and assembly levels. The engineer will analyze and correlate optical test data with design and process parameters to optimize performance for high-speed photonics applications while utilizing AI/ML for proactive problem detection. Key technical requirements include knowledge of solid-state physics, integrated photonics, and opto-electronics. Candidates should possess skills in hardware and software automation of photonics testing using Python, Matlab, C#, or Labview. Additional competencies include statistical programming for data modeling, SQL for complex data extraction, and experience testing RF and high-speed optical components within silicon photonics platforms.

What you'll do

  • Devise, develop, and execute engineering tests for novel optical components in silicon photonics products.
  • Perform hands-on testing on integrated photonic components at the die, wafer, and assembly levels.
  • Analyze and correlate optical test data with design and process parameters to optimize device performance.
  • Apply AI/ML data analytics for proactive detection and resolution of technical problems.
  • Build and maintain automated hardware and software systems for photonics testing.
  • Provide data-driven analysis and reports to cross-functional teams including Design, Assembly, and Foundry partners.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree plus 7 years of experience, Master's plus 4 years, or PhD plus 1 year of related experience.
  • Knowledge of solid-state physics, integrated photonics, and opto-electronics.
  • Experience in hardware and software automation of photonics testing.
  • Experience with commercial large-scale photonic circuit testing developments (preferred).
  • Experience building optical testing setups and systems for integrated photonics and performing hands-on testing (preferred).
  • Strong programming skills for testing automation using Python, Matlab, C#, or Labview (preferred).
  • High proficiency in statistical programming languages and experience with commercial statistical applications like JMP (preferred).
  • Strong SQL skills for complex data extraction from relational databases (preferred).
