Senior Photonics Component Modeling Engineer

Salience Labs Ltd; Oxford; Presencial; GBP 65.000 - 90.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Salience Labs Ltd. seeks a Photonic Component Modelling Engineer to build and qualify behavioral and compact models that capture device physics for system-level verification of photonic and electronic components.

You’ll work with system verification, photonic design, and characterization teams to extract model parameters from lab measurements and ensure model fidelity across PVT conditions. Strong scripting in Python or MATLAB is essential.

Formación

• MS/PhD (or equivalent experience) in photonics, electrical engineering, applied physics, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in photonic component design and/or simulation.
• Solid understanding of integrated photonic building blocks, both passive and active, and their electrical drive requirements.
• Strong scripting ability (Python and/or MATLAB) for model fitting, data analysis, and simulation/measurement correlation.
• Comfortable working in Linux and with version-controlled repositories.
• Strong documentation habits, including model specifications, QA reports, and traceability from reference data to released models.
• Clear communication and a collaborative approach across disciplines.

Responsabilidades

• Develop and maintain models of optical primitives for simulation and system verification environments.
• Verify models across process, voltage, and temperature corners (PVT).
• Release models that pass defined QA criteria.
• Verify PDK component libraries so updates don’t break circuit-level simulations.
• Extract model parameters from lab measurements and correlate with simulations.
• Build and maintain automated tooling (Python and/or MATLAB) for parameter extraction, model fitting, and regression tracking.
• Maintain regression suites so model/PDK changes are checked against reference data.
• Resolve model discrepancies at system level and feed back into photonic design.
• Keep reproducible records: version-controlled models, scripts, reference data, and QA results.
