R&d Manager

Founded in 2015 in Montreal, Canada, One Silicon Chip Photonics (OSCP) focus is on the development of high-performance Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), based on Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical (MOEMS) accelerometers and gyroscopes. The company is currently developing a fully integrated optical solution based on a Resonant Microphotonic Gyroscope (RMG) scheme that will be characterized by a much higher accuracy than MEMS and MOEMS devices. Based on its proprietary solution, OSCP’s IMU will offer a smaller size, more power efficient, cheaper, and more reliable product compared to the available optical fiber-based solutions in the market. The fast-growing team is formed by a young and creative team, specialized in the fields of optical devices design & simulation, micro-fabrication, and characterization.
