Résumé du poste

IC Resources client in Ghent, Belgium, is seeking an Opto-electronics Design Engineer to lead the application of an integrated photonics platform to high-speed optical circuit switching. You will interface with business development to translate market needs into technical requirements and drive architecture and control solutions.

The role involves designing PICs in HIS P technology, developing and validating fast switching demos, and documenting performance trends for platform advancement.

Responsabilités

• Translate market needs into technical requirements in collaboration with business development.
• Innovate and propose new optical circuit switches and architectures, and the supporting control circuits.
• Develop a system-level understanding of fast optical switching, including speed, insertion loss, crosstalk, and scalability trade-offs.
• Design and analyze control-loop strategies for fast, stable switching, including bias control and calibration schemes.
• Design the PIC in HIS P technology for switching demonstrators.
• Specify surrounding high-speed control electronics for driving and stabilising the switch.
• Build prototypes and demonstrators, validate performance, and present results to internal teams and external partners.
• Document designs, results, and performance trends, and feed insights back into platform development.
