Senior Engineer, Photonics Device Design

Ayar Labs
San Jose, CA
Category Engineering
Job Description
Role Overview

As a photonics design engineer at Ayar Labs, you'll work on the devices at the heart of our CPO solution — designing, simulating, and characterizing integrated photonic components for an aggressive optical I/O product roadmap.

What You Will Do

Design integrated photonic components, characterize and iterate, build infrastructure, collaborate with colleagues, and support manufacturability.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You'll develop faster here than almost anywhere else, and your contributions will land in product, not in a backlog.

Requirements

  • B.S. or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or related field
  • 2+ years of experience in silicon photonics or integrated photonic device design
  • Solid understanding of photonic device physics: waveguides, couplers, gratings, micro-ring resonators
  • Experience with simulation tools for passive optical devices
  • Python skills; experience writing structured code in a team environment
  • Ability to connect simulation to measurement — design, characterize, and iterate on device performance
