Position Description

The Senior Director of PIC Engineering will lead the design, development, and production of advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) leveraging TFLN (Thin-Film Lithium Niobate) and Silicon Photonics technology. This role combines deep expertise in photonic device engineering with strategic leadership to drive innovation, manage multidisciplinary teams, and deliver high-performance PIC solutions for applications in quantum computing, communications, sensing, and photonics signal processing.

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Define the vision, strategy, and roadmap for TFLN / Silicon PIC technology development aligned with corporate goals.
  • Lead the architecture, simulation, design, and fabrication of high-performance TFLN / Silicon -based photonic devices and circuits (e.g., modulators, filters, frequency shifters).
  • Drive innovation in TFLN / Silicon process integration, wafer bonding, and hybrid / heterogeneous integration with other photonic platforms.
  • Represent engineering in executive reviews, customer meetings, and industry events.

Project Execution & Delivery

  • Oversee end-to-end PIC product development lifecycle — from concept, design, and prototyping to validation, qualification, and transfer to manufacturing.
  • Collaborate with foundry partners to optimize TFLN / Silicon fabrication processes, yield, and scalability for high-volume production.
  • Ensure device performance meets or exceeds design specifications across optical bandwidth, RF bandwidth, insertion loss, and power handling.

    • Team & Talent Management

  • Build, mentor, and manage a high-performing team of PIC design, process, test, and packaging engineers.
  • Foster a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and accountability.
  • Set performance objectives, conduct reviews, and create career development plans.

    • Process Excellence & Quality Assurance

  • Establish robust design verification and validation protocols for TFLN / Silicon devices.
  • Drive continuous improvement in simulation models, design automation, and manufacturing workflows.
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards, IP protection, and regulatory requirements.

    • Required Skills And Experience

  • Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics, or related field (PhD preferred).
  • 5-10 years experience in photonic device and PIC engineering
  • Proven track record of delivering PIC products using TFLN / Silicon technology.
  • Background in and deep understanding of quantum photonics
  • Deep understanding of TFLN / Silicon device physics, electro-optic modulation, RF-optical co-design, and thermal management.
  • Expertise with PIC design tools (e.g., Lumerical, OptoDesigner, Ansys, COMSOL) and fabrication process flows.
  • Experience managing external foundry relationships, PDK development, and technology transfer to manufacturing.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics, or related field.
  • Previous experience in people management
  • Knowledge of hybrid integration with silicon photonics, InP, or SiN platforms.
  • Experience in high-speed optical communications (>

    • 100 GHz), quantum photonics systems using TFLN.

  • Demonstrated success in building and protecting IP portfolios in photonics.
  • Familiarity with wafer-level testing, optical packaging, and system-level integration.
