RFIC / Photonic Test Engineer – Elenion Technologies

Who We
Are:

Elenion
Technologies is driving innovation in silicon photonics, an emerging technology
poised to significantly increase performance and reduce costs of optical systems.
We are headquartered in New York City, with offices in San Jose, California and
Munich, Germany.

After pursuing a
path of intensely focused research and development for two years in
stealth-mode, Elenion recently unveiled itself to the world and has assembled a
world-class team of multi-disciplinary experts. Members of our leadership team
have built and sold several companies, published papers in the top scientific
journals in the world, raised hundreds of millions of dollars of venture
capital, and have built products and deployed them to the market. The technical team includes world leaders in our space, and many members are PhD
scientists and engineers from the top schools in the world, such as MIT,
Caltech, UChicago, and Columbia.

Elenion is developing
next-generation photonic integrated circuit technologies and solutions for a
broad range of datacom and telecom applications. It is almost certain that, as
you read this web page, the data traveling from the server to your computer or
phone went through hardware that someone on our team designed, built, or deployed.

This team builds
the hardware at the heart of the internet. We think that’s cool. Hopefully, you
do too.

The Position:

We are developing a unique high-speed electrical and photonic IC test
lab for novel RD at the device and system level, and require Photonic Test
Engineers to assist with this effort. Working out of our Madison Avenue office,
the incumbents will be primarily responsible for test infrastructure
development and design verification testing on novel electro-optic devices.

We are searching for senior professionals and new graduates with the
flexibility to adapt to varying demands and deadlines, and the energy to thrive
in a fast-paced advanced technology development environment. Our ideal
candidate is ambitious, self-directed, independent, and adept in the lab. Of
particular importance to us are the ability and desire to learn, and the drive
to work very hard with similarly motivated people.
