Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Photonics Engineer to support the development of our MEMS/PIC inertial sensor devices. As a key member of our core technical team, you will be responsible for the design and testing of MOEMS inertial sensors for high-volume commercial applications.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design and test MOEMS inertial sensors for high-volume commercial applications
  • Collaborate closely with the MEMS and Process teams to make key contributions in the overall design, layout, and testing of our unique PIC/MEMS devices
  • Aid in testing of PIC devices in our laboratory and work closely with other PIC engineers to analyze experimental data, especially debugging experimental discrepancies with simulation
  • Use simulations to improve input/output performances of the photonic integrated circuit through novel component design
Requirements:
  • Demonstratable experience of silicon and/or silicon nitride PIC component design and simulation, especially using Lumerical software suite
  • Previous experience modeling and analyzing target and variations of circuits using simulated component data (INTERCONNECT preferred)
  • Ability to analyze impacts from beyond the PIC, including simulating impacts from thermals, packaging, and MEMS processes
  • Previous experience in performing PIC layout, ideally using Python scripting
  • Lab testing of photonic integrated devices is advantageous
  • Discipline on documentation and reporting, with an ability to distill key takeaways to team members in other fields to photonics
Education and Experience:
  • Masters/PhD in Physics or Engineering
  • PIC design, tape out, and experimental testing experience (3+ years preferable)
  • Experience with working within small engineering teams or research groups
  • Ability to distill and communicate scientific information effectively with the wider team
What We Offer:
  • Competitive salary
  • Generous company package including share options, Royal London pension, and sick pay
  • Flexible working arrangements
