Descrizione del lavoro

Nokia is seeking a Silicon Photonics Design Engineer to advance IC-based photonic devices from design through testing and fabrication. You will contribute to scalable photonic integration for secure, high-performance connectivity.

You will work with a multidisciplinary team, own design specifications, evaluate optical link budgets, and drive device-level optimization to meet system requirements in a hybrid work setting in Italy.

Competenze

• MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Photonics or Applied Physics.
• Hands-on experience in silicon photonic device design, characterization and modeling.
• Proficient with optical and RF simulation tools (Lumerical, HFSS, ADS) and photonic circuit design.
• 2+ years of experience in silicon photonics design, testing and characterization.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication of requirements to engineers.

Mansioni

• Own Tx and/or Rx PIC designs and communicate performance requirements to cross-functional teams.
• Evaluate optical link budgets, RFEO performance, and power consumption to verify against requirements.
• Define test requirements and collaborate with test teams to develop comprehensive test plans.
• Generate PIC performance documents to track performance across R&D and production variants.
• Evaluate new design approaches and drive device-level and system-level optimization.
• Interface with mixed-signal IC, substrate, packaging, and simulation teams to ensure co-design/co-optimization of photonics chips.
