How You Will Contribute And What You Will Learn
The Senior Silicon Photonic Design Engineer will be responsible for the design and validation of the photonic IC in optical engines and will interface with mixed signal IC, substrate, packaging, and simulations teams to ensure system requirements are met for co-designed and co-optimized photonics chips. This also involves:
- Owning PDK components impovements/development
- Owning Tx and/or Rx PIC designs and communicating expected performance and PIC requirements to cross-functional teams. Evaluate optical link budgets, RFEO performance and power consumption, and verify performance compared to requirements.
- Defining test requirements and collaborate with test team to prepare test plans that provide coverage and address requirements.
- Owning and generating PI
