Number of positions: 2

Duration: 15 weeks

Date: June 2026

Location: On-site Murray Hill, NJ, USA

Educational Requirements:

Enrolled in a Master's or PhD program at a University outside the USA. Should have expertise in photonics, optics, and electrical engineering.

• Hands-on experience testing electro-optic and photonic devices in laboratory environments.
• Knowledge of optical waveguides, modulators, detectors, and related device physics.
• Knowledge of electrical circuitry and its interaction with photonic components.
• Experience working with free-space optical systems and alignment techniques.
• Familiarity with passive optical devices, including filters, resonators, and interferometer networks.
• Proficiency with simulation tools for waveguide modeling and optical circuit design.

As part of our team, you will:

• Perform optical simulations and modal analyses, including wave propagation, resonator design, AWGs, and laser cavity modeling.
• Conduct RF circuit simulations and characterize high-speed components using S-parameters and driver modeling.
• Develop lab automation tools using Python, AI frameworks, FPGAs, Red Pitayas, Arduinos, and automated wafer-probing systems.
• Carry out hands-on experimentation in optical labs, including optical alignment, device characterization, and testing of high-speed communication hardware.
• Analyze, summarize, and present results; prepare technical papers for conferences and journals; and collaborate with experts across photonics, optical networks, and electronics.
