Job description
- You will be part of the Design Team, and support NPI development and research projects on III-V optical chip components.
- The role would include aspects of optoelectronic device and RF design, waveguide modelling and mask design, as well as early characterisation and developing test methodology for next generation devices
- You will be working in close cooperation with a wide team of experts in design, fabrication and testing of photonic chips and support transfer research and technology projects to NPI phase and production.
- You will have professional or academic experience in III-V semiconductor physics
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and/or contribute to the development of Photonic integrated circuits and discrete active photonic III-V components
- Optoelectronic device design, in particular device mask design and waveguide/optical modelling.
- Engage with Design and Fabrication team to discuss and analyse specifications and define mask set requirements and PDKs; automate the implementation of design rules.
- Support external collaborative projects with Academic and Industrial institutions
- Explore and analyse new directions for future applications of PIC technology
- DC and RF verification of early stage development devices and prepare and publish technical reports of finding/proposed improvements
Experience
- PhD in a relevant semiconductor/material or device design topic;
- Knowledge of III-V optoelectronic device physics
- Experience in Mask design/PDKs, TCAD software, Python/Nazca/Klayout or Equivalent
- Experience of commercial optical waveguide software packages
- Excellent data analysis and report writing skills.
Desired:
