Apply for the Senior Silicon Photonics Engineer
Location: West Yorkshire
Job Description:

You’ll work across the full development cycle — from architecture and PIC design through simulation, tape‑out, direct foundry collaboration and first‑silicon validation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the WDM architecture, wavelength plan and optical power budget
  • Design and optimize AWGs, micro‑rings, filters and multiplexers
  • Develop complex silicon photonic circuits for high-speed optical links
  • Model loss, crosstalk, thermal drift and manufacturing variation
  • Own foundry design reviews, tape‑out sign-off and silicon debug
  • Analyse first‑silicon results and feed findings into future designs

Your background

  • Strong silicon photonics / PIC design experience
  • Successful PIC tape‑outs and experience with foundry PDKs
  • Strong knowledge of WDM, AWGs and/or resonant photonic devices
  • Photonic simulation and layout verification experience
  • MSc or PhD in Photonics, Electronic Engineering, Physics or similar
  • Experience with CW‑WDM, high‑speed optical links, Lumerical, Cadence, Python or MATLAB would be advantageous.
