Roles & Responsibilities

We are hiring a highly motivated Research Scientist for projects management/execution with integrated opto-electronics circuit design, fabrication, and characterization.

You will be involved in photonics projects handling through design, fabrication, and characterization. You will be working with an excellent multidisciplinary team from photonics and FAB.

Job Descriptions:

• Responsible for developing design components for PDKs.
• Typically performs one or more of the following in capacity of either an individual contributor (as directed and/or independently), or as a manager:
• Develop and deploy design components for PDKs
• Provide best-in class, differentiated enablement tooling
• Accurately represent semiconductor processes in client Design Flows that enable successful product designs
• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs
• Work and collaborate on other projects and/or assignments as needed
• To design/ optimize silicon photonic devices, including passive and active devices (e.g., balanced photodetector, high speed photodetector) for application oriented PDK development.
• To independently carry out device characterization to verify device performance and conduct device analysis with documentation.
• To provide technical support on PDK related questionnaires.
• To file patents on Silicon Photonics devices to protect AMF/GF intellectual property.
• To perform other duties as assigned. Duties will vary according to the project progress and/or the specific goals of the company.

Job Requirements:

• Ph.D in Integrated photonics or Electrical / Electronics
• Hands‑on experience in silicon photonics, especially for photonic circuit design
• Hands‑on experience in photonic simulation using software such as Lumerical / Rsoft, Electrical simulation using software such as Ansys / Synopsys / Silvaco and Layout drawing
• Preferred experience in high‑speed devices (MOD / PD) design / characterization
• Experience in fabrication of silicon photonics is a bonus point
• Strong self‑motivation and interest on silicon photonics
• Strong oral and written communication skills and demonstrated ability to work in a team‑oriented environment
• Problem analysis and problem solving skill
