Photonic Designer: Multiplexing EPIC Designer (f/m/d)

We are seeking a Photonic Designer: Multiplexing EPIC Designer to design and simulate high-speed WDM/DWDM optical transceiver systems, bridging component-level photonic design with system-level architecture. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of high-speed circuit design, signal integrity principles, and electronic-photonic interfaces.

Requirements

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related field
• 3+ years of experience in integrated photonics
• Proficiency in WDM/DWDM design, link budget modeling, and system-level simulation
• Experience with EPIC co-design using tools such as Synopsys OptoDesigner and Cadence Spectre
• Strong understanding of high-speed circuit design and signal integrity principles, electronic-photonic interfaces, and clock data recovery (CDR)
• Experience with simulation tools; Lumerical MODE, FDTD, INTERCONNECT, COMSOL Multiphysics
• Hands-on experience with fiber-to-chip coupling, passive photonic design, and polarization management
• Competency in photonic layout tools (gdsfactory, Nazca, OptoDesigner) and Git-based workflows
• Programming proficiency in Python and Git version control
• Experience with test structure development and optical characterization equipment is a plus

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package with outstanding insurance, pension and virtual stock options
• Flexible work schedule
• Continuous learning and professional development opportunities
