Principal Silicon Photonics IC Design Engineer

About the Role

The ADI Advanced Physical Technology Group (APTG) collaborates with ADI business units, universities, research organizations, and customers to advance next-generation photonics technologies. As a Principal Silicon Photonics IC Design Engineer, you will lead the design and development of high-performance photonic integrated circuits that enable ADI’s strategic technology roadmap. This role focuses on hands-on design execution, modeling, and validation of PICs for applications in datacenter interconnects, sensing, analog compute, and emerging photonics-enabled markets.

You will be a technical authority in PIC design, driving innovation through rigorous design methodologies, simulation, and layout, while collaborating closely with packaging, device, and system teams to ensure manufacturability and performance.

Key Responsibilities

• PIC Design Leadership : Own the design of complex silicon photonic ICs, including layout, simulation, and optimization for performance, yield, and reliability.
• Circuit-Level Innovation : Develop advanced photonic building blocks (modulators, detectors, multiplexers, etc.) and integrate them into scalable PIC architectures.
• Modeling & Simulation : Perform detailed multi-physics simulations and photonic circuit modeling using industry-standard tools (Lumerical, Synopsys, Cadence).
• Design Verification : Define and execute design validation plans, including test chip development, characterization, and correlation to simulation.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration : Work with packaging, electronics, and process teams to ensure seamless integration of PICs into co-packaged optics and system-level solutions.
• Process Interaction : Provide design input for fabrication processes and collaborate with foundries to optimize device performance.
• Mentorship : Guide junior engineers in PIC design best practices and tool usage.
• External Engagement : Contribute to technical publications, conferences, and partnerships with academia and industry consortia.

Qualifications

Proven experience in silicon photonics IC design and layout for high-volume manufacturing.

Proficiency in photonic circuit design tools (Lumerical, Synopsys, Cadence) and EDA workflows.

Exceptional communication and organizational skills.
