Photonics Layout Engineer; Fully Remote

• Develop and implement layouts for complex photonic integrated circuits, from component-level test structures to large-scale system PICs.
• Translate photonic schematics and design requirements into efficient, manufacturable GDSII layouts.
• Implement dense waveguide routing, multilayer optical interconnects, and die- and reticle-level floor planning.

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Physics, Optical Engineering, or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in photonic integrated circuit layout, preferably in silicon photonics.
• Proficiency with photonic layout tools such as GDSFactory, IPKISS, KLayout, or equivalent.

• We build frontier hardware systems from our lab and office in Midtown Manhattan, blending optical tables and office space.
• We run a high-trust, high-accountability environment where you'll own meaningful work and move quickly.
• Voyant provides catered lunch every day at HQ, with a diverse group of food lovers sharing ideas.

Voyant Photonics is pushing the boundaries of silicon photonic chips that steer and switch light at high speed, powering chip-scale FMCW LiDAR for robotics and optical circuit switches for AI data centers. Based in NYC, they are a hands-on, mid-size team designing and deploying frontier hardware to solve critical problems.
