Photonics Design Senior Engineer

POSITION OVERVIEW:

We are seeking a talented professional with a strong background in the field of integrated photonics design. This role will be part of the Samsung Research Centre Singapore team and will be involved in R&D activities in the field of silicon photonics and translational works to incorporate silicon photonics onto Co-package optics (CPO).

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Champion PIC design and layout for customers and other internal projects.
• Design and develop novel active devices and passives for Si photonics with internal Samsung counterparts and external collaborators.
• Perform component and circuit-level simulations.
• Perform microfabrication in cleanrooms and the testing of devices on a need-be basis.
• Support CPO-related strategic projects on a need-be basis.

QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIRED SKILLS:

• MSc or PhD (preferred) in Physics, Engineering with specialization in Si photonics or optics.
• Minimum 3 years working experience in the area of integrated photonics design with a demonstrated track record in passive component and circuit simulation.
• Experience in the design of active components (e.g. modulators) will be an added advantage.
• Hands-on wafer fabrication experience in cleanroom.
• Experience in the handling of optical probe stations for optical testing of passives and active devices.
• Familiar with simulation and IC design layout tools (e.g. Lumerical, Zemax, KLayout).
• Flexible and adaptable mindset and thrives in a dynamic working environment.
• Proficient in spoken and written English. Ability to converse in Korean will be an added advantage.
• Fresh PhD graduates are welcome to apply.
