About the role
Design and execute DOE plans to evaluate and optimize high-speed optoelectronic transmitter and receiver architectures. Design, simulate, and optimize optoelectronic devices, for example photodiodes, microLEDs. Develop equivalent circuit and compact models for electro-optic devices to enable co-simulation with electronic circuits (e.g. drivers, TIAs). Perform comprehensive electrical, optical, and electro-optical characterization under DC and high-frequency conditions. Develop automated test, masurement and data analysis workflows and correlate experimental results with simulations to identify performance-limiting mechanisms. Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to support device fabrication, tape-outs and post-silicon validation. Communicate findings through technical resorts, presentations and well-documented experimental records. PhD (or near completion) in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Photonics, Optical Engineering, or a related field, with strong knowledge of semiconductor device physics and light-matter interactions. Experience in the design, simulation and optimization of high-speed optoelectronic devices such as VCSELs, microLEDs, modulators and/or photodetectors. Proficiency with optical and electrical simulation tools (e.g. Lumerical, COMSOL, tidy3D, HFSS, TCAD, or similar). Hands-on experience with electrical, optical and electro-optical characterization of devices in a laboratory environment. Strong programming, analytical and communication skills, with experience using Python, Matlab or equivalent for data analysis and automation. Familiarity with high-speed optical communication systems and optoelectronic device fabrication in a III-V and/or silicon photonics platform. Experience with photonic foundry tape-outs, PDK development and design-for-manufacturability. Knowledge of optical packaging, co-packaged optics, or optical transceiver architectures.
