PIC Design Engineer

Overview

In this role you will design and develop PICs for silicon photonics in Oxford, spanning architecture, simulation, layout, and tape-out. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to move photonic technologies from concept to silicon fabrication. You will apply optical/electrical simulations and validation to deliver robust designs. This position offers a chance to shape cutting-edge photonic integrated circuits and bring ideas through fabrication.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop PICs across architecture, simulation, layout, and tape-out
• Translate concepts into silicon implementations for silicon photonics
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to advance photonic technologies
• Validate designs using photonic simulations and practical considerations
• Support tape-out and fabrication processes and readiness

Key requirements

• MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Physics or related field
• Experience with PIC / silicon photonics design
• Familiarity with photonic simulation and layout tools e.g Lumerical and Ipkiss
• Understanding of integrated optics and optical devices
• Experience taking designs through tape-out and fabrication desirable

• PIC design
• silicon photonics design
• photonic simulation
• layout tools (Lumerical, Ipkiss)
• integrated optics and optical devices
