Sr Photonics Engineer (PIC)

The Sr Photonics Engineer will be responsible for conceiving and implementing experimental testing plans and identifying photonic design changes to continue to push the performance of Anello’s ingredient and product portfolio. We are looking for someone with a strong technical background and extensive laboratory skills in integrated optics. The engineer will play a crucial role in bringing PIC designs from prototype to product. As a key member of the team, you will engage broadly across the technical organization, including both software and hardware engineering, to work on the characterization and development of the core photonic system.

Responsibilities

Design and execute experimental plans based on a deep understanding of the optical system; Collect and analyze data, convey significance of results, and identify next steps; Identify photonic design changes to continue to improve system level performance; Work closely with software and hardware engineering to provide tighter integration of Anello’s core photonic system; Contribute to photonic tapeouts, through a combination of architectural changes, design for test, component simulation, and layout; Support optical packaging, through interfacing to external vendors and internal development

Requirements

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Optical Eng, Physics, or other engineering field; 2+ years of industry relevant experience in integrated optics; Hands-on experience in an optoelectronics lab performing component or system bench-level testing; Familiarity with sources, fiber optics, detectors and relevant test equipment; Track record of bringing integrated optical systems from prototype to product; Experience in problem-solving complex optical systems; In-depth experience designing experiments and conveying their significance at the system level; Strong theoretical knowledge of fiber optics and integrated optics; Experience in automating data collection and analysis; Working knowledge of statistics for analysis of experimental data; Ability to work in a fast-paced and innovation-driven environment; Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship (U.S. citizenship or Perm Residence)

Nice to have

Background in Silicon Photonics; Background in optical gyroscopes or other optical interferometric sensors; Experience in inertial measurement systems; Experience in optical design simulation (COMSOL, Lumerical, etc.); Experience in layout generation for photonic integrated circuits; Experience in packaging photonic integrated circuits; Self-motivated to learn new technologies and a passion for embracing technology
