POSITION:

Photonics Test and Design Senior Engineer

MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

· Develop, refine, and support silicon photonics components and modules design for integrated photonic circuits (PICs).

· Proven experience in integrated photonic and RF system development, including full lifecycle execution from concept through manufacturing.

· Strong background in photonic chip design, simulation, statistical characterization, and hardware integration at the system level.

· Design and implement calibration algorithms to ensure precision in optical power and wavelength measurement, particularly in silicon photonic-based OCM systems.

· Demonstrated ability to support test development for manufacturing, including design for reliability and qualification testing.

· Experience participating in multiple integrated circuit (IC) tape outs, ideally as a design authority or design prime for complex photonic subsystems.

· Track record of delivering innovative, production-viable solutions to bridge performance gaps between R&D and manufacturing environments.

· Automate test and calibration routines using scripting tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, Shell), ensuring integration with lab and manufacturing environments.

· Collect, process, and analyze measurement data to identify performance trends, optimize yield, and enhance system reliability.

· Lead root-cause investigations of test failures and develop corrective actions to improve overall process robustness and cost-efficiency.

· Work with functional and product development teams to incorporate calibration logic into both R&D and high-volume production environments, ensuring smooth transfer of test procedures from lab to line.

· Support the transition of calibration methodologies into scalable, production-ready solutions by collaborating closely with manufacturing, design, and test engineering teams.

· Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to align test and calibration methodology with product requirements.
