  • Strong Knowledge in Mixed-Signal EDA Tooling: Demonstrated expertise in mixed-signal EDA tools, with a strong preference for candidates who have experience with photonics-specific EDA tools.
  • A proven ability to deliver precise and error-free layouts that meet all design and fabrication requirements.
  • Proficiency in layout design, Design Rule Checking (DRC), and Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) flows, ensuring that designs are compliant with fabrication constraints and are correctly implemented.
  • Familiarity with Verilog for simulation purposes and schematic design capture, enabling seamless integration of photonic devices with electronic systems.
  • Experience in creating custom layouts and working with GDSII formats, ensuring that layouts are correctly exported and ready for fabrication.
  • A strong understanding of silicon fabrication processes is required, with additional experience in photonic-specific processes being highly advantageous
  • Ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex design and layout challenges, using both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
