Senior Photonic Design Engineer – Elenion Technologies – New York, NY

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 searching for a Silicon
Photonics Design Engineer to engage in the research and development of silicon
photonics integrated circuit technology. Based at our Madison Avenue office,
the incumbent will take responsibility for the development process for complex
photonic devices or systems-on-chip, from design through fabrication, testing
and analysis.

photonics design team, you’ll be working alongside other experienced silicon
photonics designers with strong records of delivering innovative photonic
device designs and large-scale silicon photonics circuits.

Key Responsibilities:
·
Lead or support the design of active and passive
photonic devices and/or complex photonic integrated circuits and systems.

·
Develop new design approaches, and innovate on
both device-level design and system-level optimization.

·
Interact with fab partners.

·
Contribute to test development and lead the test
data analysis of your devices to correlate design with measurements.

·
Collaborate with all other functional teams in
the organization to deliver co-designed and co-optimized photonics systems.

Key Qualifications:
·
M.S. or Ph.D. in electrical engineering /
physics / applied physics / similar quantitative fields.

·
Solid programming skills in Python or C/C++.

·
Good understanding of general concepts in
physics, especially in optics or electromagnetics.

·
Strong understanding of general concepts in
fiber optics and integrated optics.

·
Experience with designing or characterizing
silicon photonic or other integrated optical/optoelectronic devices or
circuits.

Additional Assets:
·
Proficiency with optics design tools, such as Lumerical.

·
Experience in photonic integrated circuit
design, modeling and layout.

·
Solid numerical and physics-related programming
skills.

·
Experience with high-frequency design and
modeling.

·
Experience in TCAD modeling.

·
Experience with epitaxial growth and design.

·
Experience with controls theory and
implementation.

Compensation: Competitive salary and full range of benefits
