Jobs
Are you a passionate Silicon Photonics Design Engineer eager to contribute to groundbreaking research and development? Join our team and play a key role in designing and developing cutting-edge silicon photonics integrated circuits. You'll lead the entire development process, from design and fabrication to testing and analysis, for complex photonic devices and systems-on-chip. Collaborate with experienced designers on innovative projects and large-scale silicon photonics circuits. Apply now and be part of a team pushing the boundaries of photonic technology!
You have:
- MS or Ph.D. graduate in integrated optics silicon photonics, electrical engineering, or applied physics.
- 5 years of industry experience working in silicon photonics, integrated optics or relevant fields.
- Possess extensive technical expertise in silicon photonics device design (including device performance characterization and validation).
- Lab experience in optical engineering test, fiber-waveguide coupling, and design verification testing.
- Experience in RF design, test and characterization of photonic devices, using devices such VNAs, spectrum analyzers, etc.
- Solid programming skills in Python or C/C++.
- General good understanding of general concepts in physics, especially in optics or electromagnetics.
It would be nice if you had:
- Previous experience as Nokia intern or co-op, proficiency with optics design tools, such as Lumerical.
- Experience with designing or characterizing silicon photonic or other integrated optical/optoelectronic devices or circuits. Strong understanding of general concepts in fiber optics and integrated optics. Experience in photonic integrated circuit design, modeling and layout.
- Solid numerical and physics-related programming skills. Experience with high-frequency design and modeling.
- Drive the architecture and development of next-generation optical engines in advanced Si photonics process technologies for high-performance pluggable optics and embedded solutions for coherent DWDM long-haul and metro transport applications.
- Own product definition, PIC architecture innovation, and specification of integrated photonic circuits for coherent Tx/Rx signal processing chains, critical optical components, and comprehensive test methodologies tailored to meet demanding requirements across long-haul, metro, and pluggable coherent optical systems.
- Spearhead link budget development and optimization across coherent optical transport links, driving analysis of system performance, channel impairments, chromatic dispersion, polarization effects, active and passive component margins, and foundry process capabilities to ensure first-pass silicon photonic designs meet aggressive performance targets in both long-haul and metro deployments.
- Champion design-for-test and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) best practices, establishing photonic device characterization strategies and test protocols to enable rapid volume ramp and high-yield manufacturing in next-generation coherent pluggable platforms and integrated transceiver solutions.
- Lead design reviews as a recognized subject matter expert in silicon photonic component design, setting technical direction and raising the bar for system-level performance, power efficiency, and manufacturability across diverse coherent optical applications.
- Drive cross-functional execution with photonics design, RFIC/EIC, DSP, packaging, product engineering, foundry technology partners, test development, and product leadership to architect and deploy scalable design automation, simulation frameworks, and test infrastructure that accelerates deployment of innovative coherent optic solutions.

Summer Nokia AI/ML vs IBM SDE Intern
Trying to decide between Nokia (not Bell Labs) and IBM Research Triangle Park (Durham). My goal is ML Research and landing Student Researcher BS/MS roles at Bytedance, IBM, Google, Microsoft, etc. Ironically, I'm not sure if IBM SDE has a lot of internal mobility into research roles and moreover the Durham office is entirely product-focused iirc. So much for "Research Triangle Park". Also, I have no clue what my team is gonna be for On the other hand, I really liked the Nokia AI/ML team, we dis

Us treasury secretary bessent just did something that totally flipped out and sort of made me feel unwell.
https://youtu.be/zq_L011kMLs?si=3MzyYDx7SSbXUBPH Basically just saw this and almost gave me some sort of heart issue or fainting - seriously. I've posted a lot on the issue before but I hate to say it, I wish I didn't have one side of me feel so worried since dec - Jan, less since October - ish. This interview on Friday specifically with Wilfred Frost. It was after the Kharg attack I believe. Start at 13:30, and watch after . My personal opinion because I obviously can't know for sure what
