Photonic IC Design Engineer

The Photonic IC Design Engineer is responsible for the design of high-speed photonic ICs; for the system design of the optical integrated products of the connectivity solutions for Applied Materials. It is a senior engineer that initiates initial blueprints of the products & solutions and is pulling the different engineering practices together to form a great engineering team.

This role is also supporting Product Marketing with the Product Roadmap. The Photonic IC Design Engineer is a trusted partner of the customers. This role will get insights about product performance and needs and will develop and implement concepts for a wide range of significantly complex product issues and engineering solutions.

• Responsible for the engineering of various photonic ICs (PICs) from initiation to general availability including the design and characterization of the product.
• Assure design for performance, manufacturability, and cost.
• Select components (analog and digital EICs, various optical) for high speed architectures.
• Create schematics and layout circuits.
• Work with test and firmware engineering in the development of PICs
• Work with foundries to co-design and fabricate PICs
• Carry on Design Verification Tests (DVT). Write technical reports.

Functional Knowledge

• Experience with various active and passive component design
• Experience of engineering transceiver technologies with proven market success or related PIC based technologies, from PIC design to optical and electrical packaging.
• Knowledge of transmission, wide bandwidth circuits, passive devices, and optoelectronic devices (e.g., lasers, detectors, modulators)
• Experience with high-speed, broadband electrical interfacing with PIC based technologies (PCBs, organic substrates, TSVs, RDL, etc.)
• Extensive experience using high-speed optical and electrical equipment: Real-time Oscilloscope, BERT, Optical Modulation Analyzer, Network Analyzer, Optical Spectrum Analyzer, wavelength meters, tunable filters, optical noise sources, etc.
• Familiar with high-speed IC, such as DSP, modulator driver, transimpedance amplifier
• Excellent communication skills, including active listening and questioning.
• Fluent English language and experience communicating with people from different countries. Excellent presentation skills
• Ideally candidates from the optics industry or other industries with high-speed connectivity
• Ideally candidates with academic experience in optics and related fields
