Résumé du poste

IMEC in Leuven, Belgium seeks a Senior Silicon Photonics Test Development Engineer to lead advanced test methodologies for silicon photonic devices and PICs, from concept to deployment. You will define wafer-, die-, and package-level characterization, design complex test setups, and develop Python-based measurement frameworks to boost throughput and data quality.

Ideal candidates hold a PhD or Master in a relevant field with strong RF/electrooptic expertise and a proven track record in automated

Qualifications

PhD in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Applied Physics, or related field or master's degree with relevant experience in silicon photonics or high-frequency test development.
Strong expertise in RF and electrooptic characterization, including S-parameter measurements, high-speed modulation tests, and wafer-level probing.
Deep understanding of silicon photonics, PIC architectures, and optical component behaviour.
Proven experience in developing automated test setups and measurement frameworks. Strong Python skills for data analysis and instrument control; LabVIEW is a plus.
Demonstrated ability to lead technical projects, plan activities, and coordinate across teams.
Structured problemsolver with strong analytical skills and attention to detail.

Responsabilités

Own the development of advanced test methodologies for silicon photonic devices, PICs, and heterogeneous electrooptic components—from concept to full deployment.
Define and architect test flows for waferlevel,dielevel, and packagelevel characterization.
Design, commission, and optimize complex test setups integrating RF, optical, and automated instrumentation.
Develop/lead Python-based measurement frameworks and automation tools to increase throughput, reliability, and data quality.
Introduce new measurement techniques as required by emerging technology needs.
Review and validate test strategies with internal design, device, and process teams.
Plan and prioritize test development activities across multiple PIC technology platforms and R&D projects.
Drive standardization of test procedures, calibration flows, and documentation across the photonics test environment.
Monitor test quality, reliability, and reproducibility, ensuring compliance with internal performance targets.
Work closely with design, device modelling, integration, packaging, and reliability teams to translate test insights into device and process improvements.
Communicate complex test results and recommendations clearly to internal stakeholders.
Develop robust data processing pipelines for high-volume test data.
Analyze electrooptic, RF, and optical test results to identify trends, anomalies, and improvement paths.
Summarize findings in clear technical reports and presentations.
