Photonics Design Engineer — High-Speed Modulators

microTECH Global LTD; Oost-Vlaanderen; Sur place; EUR 70 000 - 110 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

microTECH Global LTD in Belgium seeks a Photonics Design Engineer to lead the development of high-speed modulators within silicon photonics, explore new concepts and materials, and push performance toward 400G+ applications in optical communications.

You will work with cross-functional teams to design, validate, and optimize photonic components, subsystems, and circuits, conduct RF and photonics modelling, and define test plans during R&D.

Qualifications

• PhD in Photonics, Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field with 3+ years’ experience, or MSc in Photonics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field with 6+ years’ experience.
• Design and testing of photonic components in silicon photonics or III/V materials.
• Proven track record in managing high-speed modulator development projects.
• Hands-on experience with photonics modelling tools (Lumerical, Photon Design, COMSOL, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with RF modelling and process modelling tools.
• General knowledge of silicon photonics devices and process flows.
• Hands-on experience with layout tools (Luceda Ipkiss).
• RF characterization experience, Python, and Linux are advantageous.

Responsabilités

• Work as part of a photonic design team to develop advanced silicon photonics platforms.
• Introduce new high-speed modulator concepts, including opto-electronic and RF line design.
• Evaluate different modulator topologies, including micro-ring and Mach-Zehnder modulators.
• Integrate new material systems into existing mass-manufacturing platforms to enhance performance.
• Collaborate with process teams to improve or replace process modules of high-speed modulators.
• Design and validate photonic components, subsystems, and circuits.
• Define test plans and analyse experimental data during the R&D phase.
• Work closely with component/module and test teams to ensure successful development.
