This position will be responsible for developing silicon photonics components, and photonic integrated circuits (PIC) to support next-generation data communications and 5G optical network applications. The responsibility spans from concept design, modeling & simulation to layout, and product testing. The candidate is expected to be responsible for product level layout and improve the efficiency of tape-out process.

The position could be a junior or senior role depending on the candidate’s qualification.

The scope of the responsibilities includes:

• Passive or active photonic device design, simulation, and layout using state-of-the-art modelling and layout tools.
• Interaction with the silicon foundry.
• Device and PIC test/characterization.
