Photonic Circuit Design Engineer

Photonic Circuit Design Engineer

You will own the design, simulation, and tape-out of photonic integrated circuits at the core of our computing platform. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role from device-level design through layout, verification, and working directly with foundry partners to bring chips to silicon. You will collaborate closely with our EIC design, packaging, and measurements teams.

• Design and simulate photonic devices and circuits (wave guides, modulators, detectors, couplers, etc.)
• Own layout, DRC/LVS, and tape-out for photonic designs end-to-end
• Work across teams to ensure photonic designs meet system-level electrical and optical requirements
• Interface with the packaging team on photonic assembly and integration constraints
• Collaborate with the measurements team to define and support device characterization

• 5+ years of experience in photonic integrated circuit design
• Proficiency in Lumerical, Cadence, Synopsys, and KLayout
• Demonstrated experience owning tape-outs from design through tapeout
• Deep understanding of silicon photonics device physics
• Strong track record in industry; candidates with photonics research backgrounds (PhD/postdoc) will also be considered

• Experience with co-packaged optics or photonic-electronic integration
• Familiarity with high-speed electro-optic modulator design

We're reviewing applications on a rolling basis and will reach out to shortlisted candidates.
