The broad job responsibilities include the hands-on work in designing of integrated photonic components, implementing the process through the fab and testing the resulting circuits to verify performance. Infinera is committed to developing the networks of the future. With our uniquely differentiated PIC technology, we have created a Digital Optical Networking system with more speed, capacity and scalability than ever before. The latest generation of Infinera’s digital optical network, the DTN-X, was released in Mid-2012 and has seen enormous traction with network providers. In less than a year, Infinera is already the global market leader in 100G Long-Haul optical transport networks. Despite such success, we believe that photonic integration is still in its infancy and are looking for highly motivated individuals to join us in developing the next generation of PICs.
The successful candidate will work within the PIC design and engineering team and engage in simulation, data analysis and lead product development from design concept through to the manufacturing phase. Position responsibilities include the hands-on work in designing of integrated photonic components, developing PIC fabrication processes, implementing PIC processes through the fab, and testing and characterization of the resulting circuits to verify performance.
Job Requirements
