Job summary

Axiomatic_AI is seeking an experienced Field Application Engineer to drive AI-assisted workflows across the PIC development lifecycle, from device design to yield analysis. You will collaborate with customer teams, EDA partners, and internal technology groups to create manufacturable, AI-enabled photonic solutions.

The role blends advanced photonics engineering with scientific AI, offering customer-facing responsibilities and opportunities to influence product direction and workflow architecture

Qualifications

• MSc or PhD in a science or engineering field (e.g., integrated photonics, electrical or telecommunications engineering).
• Minimum 5 years of experience in photonic product development; experience reaching market deployment is highly valued.
• Experience with COMSOL, Ansys, RSoft, Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys OptoCompiler, Luceda IPKISS or similar
• Experience with advanced component design, high‑speed modulators or photodiodes.
• Experience working directly with EDA vendors or photonic foundries to deliver detailed technical solutions.
• Experience with multi‑objective co‑design.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; an effective listener able to work directly with engineers, engineering managers, and enterprise stakeholders.
• A naturally friendly, helpful, and collaborative attitude.

Responsibilities

• Architect AI-assisted workflows for photonic design, verification, and yield improvement on the Axiomatic Intelligence platform, enabling customer engineering teams to accelerate development while maintaining technical rigor and manufacturability.
• Translate complex photonic engineering processes — including simulation setup, compact modeling, variability analysis, layout‑aware optimization, and measurement interpretation into verifiable workflows that combine physics-based methods with Axiomatic‑native reasoning systems.
• Work directly with customer engineering teams to identify high‑value bottlenecks and deliver deployable solutions that integrate with existing EDA tools, simulation environments, PDK ecosystems, and best engineering practices.
• Build physics‑grounded and measurement‑enriched models that improve design confidence, accelerate iteration cycles, and enable scalable analysis across process corners and fabrication variability.
• Collaborate closely with Axiomatic’s technology, infrastructure, and product teams to convert customer‑driven prototypes and technical insights into reusable platform capabilities and scalable product features.
