R&D Laser Design and Modeling Engineer

Overview

AOI is a leading supplier of high-speed transceivers used in fiber optical communications. We are looking for a highly motivated Semiconductor Laser Design and Modeling Engineer. Responsibilities include design, modeling, and simulations of InP and GaAs based high-speed and high-power semiconductor lasers. The candidate is responsible for creating models and software to develop next-generation new optoelectronics products in a young & dynamic RD team.

• Apply in-house design packages, commercial software, and self-written scripts to create high-speed or high-power laser device modeling and simulations, including optical waveguide, DC, RF, and thermal simulations.
• Design process flow and photomask with device fabrication engineers.
• Coordinate design verification with in-house Growth, Processing, Packaging, Characterization, and Reliability teams.
• Analyze experimental results to improve the design or model.
• Work as a team to propose new laser designs and provide supports to design optimizations.
• Provide regular written and oral reports on design tasks and progresses.

• Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics or other related fields; or M.S. degree with 5+ years relevant laser design experiences.
• 2+ years of work experience in semiconductor laser design is preferred.
• Education can generally be substituted for required specialized experience.
• Preferably having previous design experiences in one or more of the following areas: high-speed laser, electro absorption modulated laser (EML), vertical cavity surface- emitting laser (VCSEL), and high power laser.
• Mastery of Matlab or other programming languages.
• Fully understand theories of semiconductor laser, photodetector, and other optoelectronic devices.
• Knowledge of basic semiconductor device fabrication process is a plus
• Self-motivated, careful, detail-oriented, and ability to think logically.

This position will be on-site based in Sugar Land, Texas.

In addition to competitive salary, AOI offers

• Flexible and competitive health (medical, dental, vision) plans offer the employee with the right options to meet individual and family needs
• Employer matching on 401(k) deferrals
• Generous PTO policy, with unused PTO payout at end of the year
• Relocation package available within US
• Immigration sponsor ships (Must be currently authorized to work in the US)
