JOB PURPOSE:

We are looking for an experienced OptoelectronicEngineer to join the multidisciplinary development team to support the design and development of advanced optical components, modules and sub-systems to meet our customers’ needs, in diverse market applications including Communications, Medical, Industrial and Automotive sectors. The position involves both leading and supporting projects from concept definition, detailed design, process and test development, prototyping and qualification phases, through to implementation into manufacturing.

NATURE OF DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Work within a multidisciplinary development team to provide design solutions on optoelectronic /optical/photonicproducts to meet customer specifications. Developmentactivities include, but are not limited to:
  • Telecom/datacomcomponents/modules/subsystems (lasers, detectors, modulators, receivers, amplifiers, transceivers, etc).
  • Sensing / LiDARoptical components/systems.
  • Medical, biomedical, militaryoptoelectronic components.
• Define design concepts and select key optical and microelectronic technologies and integration strategies that align with project requirements.
• Design optical components and interconnects with consideration for all design elements (packaging, integration, optical and RF/electrical, mechanical, thermal, assembly, test and reliability).
• Define and develop advanced packaging and integration solutions for compact, efficient and high performance optoelectronic and microelectronic products.
• Perform optical modeling, including free space and guided wave, and optical system performance simulations.
• Perform optical and optomechanical tolerance analysis to assess practical performance capability. Work with thermal-structural engineering to assess impact on optical performance.
• Select and characterize active and passive optical components for high speed optoelectronic systems or subsystems.
• Define specifications/requirements for outsourced custom components and coordinate/interface with manufacturers/suppliers.
