About the role
You'll be working on state-of-the-art TIA and Driver designs for silicon photonics applications operating at very high speeds. The blocks will be integrated with photonics elements to build a high-speed electro-optical system. You'll be responsible for active circuit development, design, and sign-off in a technical leadership role.

Qualifications We’re Seeking
We're looking for designers to work on electronic circuit design which interface directly with optical elements, hence experience with both electrical and photonic circuit design is a prime focus for this role
Education: Minimum of a Masters or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a focus on IC design.
Experience: 3+ years of design experience, including knowledge of Optical front-end receivers and transmitters (TIAs, Drivers) , CTLE, DFE, ADC, DAC, oscillators, PLLs, and more.
SerDes/High-Speed Expertise: If you’ve tackled a SerDes or high-speed circuit design (>10GS/s), that’s a significant asset.
Silicon Proven: Multiple silicon designs taped out with measured results? You’re our kind of engineer.
Photonics design (PD, MRM, MZ elements) experience a significant asset
Co-design and co-simulation of photonics and electronics experience a big plus
SOI or FinFet Know-How: Experience in SOI or FinFet process nodes? Even better.
Coding Skills: Comfortable with scripting, programming, and tools like MATLAB/Simulink and Python.
Team Player: Excellent communication, presentation skills, and a strong team player.
Location: Strong preference for those eligible to work within Canada.

Perks and Benefits
Competitive Compensation: We value your expertise and offer highly competitive pay.
Great Work Environment: StarIC is a growing company with a fantastic work atmosphere.
Hybrid Work: This position is eligible for hybrid work, giving you flexibility.
Integrated Circuit Design Experience: Only applicants with multiple IC tape-outs will be considered.
