Silicon Photonics PIC Design Engineer

DELTA ELECTRONICS INT'L (SINGAPORE) PTE. LTD.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 90,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Delta Silicon Photonics Business Division is seeking a PIC Design Engineer/Scientist to design and develop silicon photonic integrated circuits for next‑gen sensing and communication systems. You will cover the full design cycle from concept to tape‑out and collaborate with foundries to optimize PDKs and processes.

The role requires strong fundamentals in photonics, hands‑on experience with simulation tools, and ability to work across multidisciplinary teams to deliver high‑performance PIC

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Optics, Physics, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in silicon photonics or integrated photonics.
• Strong knowledge of PIC layout and foundry processes.
• Experience with photonic simulation tools (Lumerical, COMSOL, CST) and Python/MATLAB.
• Familiarity with foundry PDKs, DRC/LVS, and tape‑out flows.
• Good teamwork and communication.

Responsibilities

• PIC Design & Device Development: design and optimize silicon photonic components (waveguides, splitters, couplers, phase shifters, modulators, detectors).
• Simulation & Performance Modeling: optical, electro‑optic, and thermal simulations to guide design decisions.
