Resumo da oferta

Xanadu in Santa Clara, CA seeks a Sr. Photonics Process Simulation Engineer to drive the process simulation and modeling roadmap for ultra-low loss quantum photonic hardware.

You will bridge fab execution, multi-physics simulation, and optical data to optimize processes for industry-leading photonic ICs. You will build an integrated simulation pipeline, validate etch and taper parameters, collaborate with lithography and thin films teams, and mentor sub-teams as we scale quantum photonics from

Qualificações

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Microelectronics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics or related field.
• 6+ years of hands-on semiconductor process simulation experience (optical/EBL photolithography, plasma dry-etch modeling, TCAD).
• Proficient with commercial process simulation tools (e.g., Silvaco Victory Process, Synopsys Sentaurus, KLA PROLITH, Coventor SEMulator3D).
• Experience in process development for integrated photonics and/or compound semiconductor platforms.

Responsabilidades

• Build, maintain and utilize an integrated, closed-loop simulation pipeline feeding predicted 3D geometries to optical loss solvers.
• Model feature-scale geometries and line edge roughness using FEM, stochastic lithography, and 3D virtual fab tools.
• Propose and validate wafer splits to optimize plasma etch chemistry, mask erosion, taper angles, and sidewall smoothing.
• Establish a roadmap for process optimization, virtual fabrication, and predictive modeling.
• Ingest inline fab metrics and metrology data to calibrate models against measurements.
