Overview
The Silicon Photonics Design Engineer is a key member of a team of researchers responsible for the design of silicon photonics chips for cloud and network applications, especially for the rapidly growing AI market. You will work in a team environment to develop silicon photonics chips and components through conception, modeling, design, layout, and performance evaluation with a goal of feeding chip solutions directly into Lumentum products that are produced in large volume to meet market requirements.
Responsibilities
- Complete simulations of chip components to continuously improve and optimize performance to maintain Lumentum’s leading edge and to find novel solutions for next generation products
- Work collaboratively with packaging teams and other teams to ensure that chip solutions meet all constraints for target applications.
- With a clear understanding of the fabrication process, ensure that designs are kept within manufacturing tolerances.
- Participate in the construction of chip-test stations, providing support with mechanical and software requirements, and conduct initial experimental measurements before transferring routine testing to other teams.
- Evaluate performance results for typical performance behavior and for yield margin in a cost-effective high-volume manufacturing environment.
- Communicate with team members. Engage with others to both learn and teach.
