Photonics Design and Test - Remote
$2,125 - $2,875 USD yearly
Originally posted 8 October 2026 by the employer.
This role involves the design, layout, and test of Silicon Photonic devices and subsystems.
About the role
This role involves the design, layout, and test of Silicon Photonic devices and subsystems. You will work on innovative storage technologies including ultra-fast read channels and high-performance processors.
What you'll do
- Design, layout, and test Silicon Photonic devices and subsystems.
- Run, maintain, service, and upgrade a die-level probe station for testing opto-electronic integrated circuits (ICs): Silicon Photonics passive and active devices.
- Set up ad-hoc optical/electrical/opto-electrical measurements to characterize various optical/electrical/opto-electrical components.
- Analyze experimental data.
What you'll need
- Experience with design of passive and active silicon photonics components and with the use of photonic/opto-electronic device simulation tools (Lumerical, Photon Design, RSoft, VPI or similar).
- Experience with physical design/layout tools (Cadence, Mentor or similar).
- Experience with Photonics test platforms and related software and hardware development.
- Ability to collect and analyze large datasets (i.e., experience with JMP, DataConductor or similar data analysis tools).
- Master’s degree in photonics with > 5 years of work experience in a relevant company, or a PhD on relevant photonic technologies (Silicon Photonics, active and/or passive optical components, high-speed optical links).
- Right to work in Greece (EU citizenship or existing visa/work permit in Greece).
Skills: Silicon Photonic devices, opto-electronic integrated circuits, photonic simulation tools, optical measurements, physical design/layout
