The Optical Design Engineer joins the Silicon Photonics product team to develop hardware platforms for switching, routing, and wireless products. This role involves full-lifecycle responsibility for Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) product designs, spanning from initial simulation and layout to final GDS tapeout and post-fabrication validation. The engineer will co-design optimized opto-electronic chipsets to meet system-level specifications and manage multiple parallel designs through the design-tapeout-Fab-validation cycle. Key responsibilities include designing passive and active photonic device layouts and owning small test-chips for next-generation products. Required technical skills include experience with Cadence Virtuoso, silicon photonics circuit modeling, and fabrication processes. Candidates should also possess proficiency in lab measurements and data analysis using Matlab, Labview, and Python, alongside knowledge of OE/RF simulation tools like HFSS.
