Senior PIC Designer

I am working with a team that is looking for an experienced Senior Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) Design Engineer to join an innovative team developing next-generation photonic technologies.

You will play a key role in the design, simulation, optimisation, and delivery of advanced photonic integrated circuits, working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to bring cutting-edge optical products from concept through to manufacture.

• Degree in Photonics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline (MSc/PhD advantageous)
• Proven experience designing and developing photonic integrated circuits in a commercial or research environment
• Strong understanding of silicon photonics, optical device physics, and PIC design methodologies
• Experience using industry-standard simulation and design tools such as Lumerical, IPKISS, Opto Designer, or equivalent
• Ability to design, model, optimise, and validate PIC components and systems for fabrication and testing
• Experience collaborating with process, test, systems, and product engineering teams throughout the development lifecycle
• Capable of leading technical discussions, contributing to design reviews, and mentoring junior engineers
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills with a collaborative approach to engineering

If you have experience in PIC Design and are open to working in London, please get in touch with Phil Wright at IC Resources.
