Silicon Photonics Senior Design Engineer- (Hybrid

Silicon Photonics Senior Design Engineer

As a Silicon Photonics Senior Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, development and qualification of integrated optical devices used in Cisco silicon photonics transceivers.

• Work within a team of silicon photonics designers on integrated optical devices to enable the next generation of Cisco optical transceiver products
• Develop modulators and photodetector through device design, layout of test and characterization structures, testing (including high speed) and reliability qualification to make them ready for use in products
• Interact with the foundry and its engineers to optimize the manufacturing process and select process parameters
• Interface with product team IC designers to deliver device models and optimize the performance parameters of the optoelectronic devices to match with drivers and TIAs

• Bachelor's degree in Optics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field and 7+ years of experience an engineering role
• Experience designing passive and active silicon photonics components (e.g. grating couplers, photodetectors, modulators, filters) or subsystems that use them.
• Experience using software modeling tools such as Ansys/Lumerical, Silvaco, or Photon Design.
• Experience using CAD layout tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, kLayout, etc.

• Master's degree in Optics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field and 5+ years of experience in an engineering role or PhD in Optics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field and 2+ years of experience.
• Experience with optical test equipment (e.g. tunable lasers, detectors, OSA, VNA) and microwave measurement techniques, as well as with statistical analysis tools (e.g. JMP).
• Experience with the design of integrated electronic circuits that interface with active silicon photonics components (e.g., TIAs, modulator drivers).
