Job Description

We are seeking experienced Semiconductor Engineers to support the design, development, and manufacturing of silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs) used in high-speed communication systems. This role involves the full semiconductor engineering lifecycle—from IC layout and process definition to device testing and yield optimization—in close collaboration with foundries and internal R&D teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop layouts for photonic and semiconductor ICs using tools such as IPKISS, Ansys Lumerical, or equivalent EDA platforms.

• Coordinate semiconductor manufacturing workflows, including tape-out preparation, foundry communication, and production yield monitoring.

• Develop and execute electrical, optical, and system-level test programs to validate device performance.

• Provide engineering input on semiconductor process technology, including CMOS integration and fabrication optimization.

• Collaborate with R&D, systems, and packaging teams to refine device architectures and ensure manufacturability.

• Support PDK development and maintain semiconductor/photonics device libraries.

• Analyze experimental data and iterate designs to enhance yield and device consistency.

• Assist in maintenance and troubleshooting of semiconductor and photonic process equipment as required.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Photonics, Semiconductor Physics, or a related engineering/science discipline.

• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in semiconductor device design, photonic ICs, or high-speed integrated systems.

• Proficiency in EDA tools such as Sentaurus, Silvaco TCAD, or Lumerical for photonic/semiconductor simulations.

• Familiarity with CMOS-compatible fabrication processes and IC layout methodologies.

• Strong analytical and data-driven problem-solving skills.

• Excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with manufacturing and cross-functional teams.
