Photonic Design Engineer

Within LIGENTEC’s engineering team, our mission is be to bring our integrated photonics platform to the next level, building on its world-class passive photonics and extending the functionality with active component integration:

Role and Responsibilities

You are part of an interdisciplinary project team that drives the development of new and improved functionalities on Ligentec’s integrated photonics platform. You:

Own the design, simulation and lay-out integrated photonic components and circuits for customer-driven and strategic roadmap projects:

• Advanced passive components leveraging Ligentec’s SiN platform for functionalities including polarization management, low loss interfaces, and spectral filters.
• Active component integration via hybrid- and heterogeneous assembly including photodiode and modulator technology.

Drive our design and layout methodology for new technology development:

• Develop early-stage process-design kits enabling engagement with customers in the R&D stage.
• Optimize design-and layout code reusability, adopting industry best practices.
• Contribute to the development of our device, fabrication and test database.

Furthermore, you:

• Interact with the characterization team, collect capabilities, design test structures, and support in test planning and data analysis (design for testability).
• Interact with the process team and yield engineering, collect capabilities and requirements, design test structures (design for manufacturability).
• Contribute to mask assembly and tape-out management when needed.
• Provide concise and clear documentation and reporting.
