Photonic Integrated Design Engineer; PIC Design

This new hybrid Photonic Integrated Design (PIC Design) opportunity based in Central London with good commuting from Cambridge, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and surrounding areas, is working on a disruptive technology for sustainability, utilising AI/ML Techniques, will involve working collaboratively with a current PIC Team to Design and Develop Photonic Integrated Technologies for a sustainable future.

Key responsibilities will include, driving the design, simulation and activity of passive and active components within PDK, leading high performance photonic builds. Additionally Compose, analyse and deliver PIC Design specifications.

The successful candidate will have a PhD or excellent qualifications in Physics or related topic with relevant work experience in PIC Design, ideally 3‑4 years+ post PhD, or extensive photonics research in Photonics academia.

• Strong simulation skills in photonics (FDTD, EME)
• Knowledge of device physics, Semiconductor optical devices (Lasers, optical amps, modulators and Detectors
• Strong Layout/Mask Design for photonic Mask layout
• It would also be of interest for the candidate to have a knowledge of High Speed RF design characterisation / RF simulation, along with us of ML/AI methodology technics used in photonic Design
