Job Type:
Full-time

Job Description:
InSpek is looking for a full-time integrated photonics expert to advance the design and layout of our PICs in various material platforms and at various wavelengths. You will focus primarily on developing and utilizing software and techniques for the design, simulation, and layout of photonic integrated circuits (PICs).

Responsibilities:
•       Design, simulation, and optimization of integrated photonic components and circuits.
•       Layout of PICs: floor planning, layout scripting, DRC mitigation.
•       Development of PDK building blocks.
•       Optimize PIC simulations to minimize computational resources and speed up the design workflow.
•       Contribute to building up the design workflow and maintain high-quality, scalable, well-tested scripts through architecture and code reviews.
•       Tape-out management: interface with foundries to set up and follow up on tape-outs.
•       Design for testability: interface with the characterization team to design test structures and support in test planning and data analysis.
•       Design for manufacturing: develop designs that improve device performance and insensitivity to fabrication variation, interface with the characterization team to define test structures and support in data processing.

Requirements:
•       Strong understanding of integrated (waveguide) optics: PhD or equivalent experience. Industry experience would be a plus.
•       Experience in photonic simulations using standard tools (e.g. Lumerical, Flexcompute, MEEP…)
•       Experience in photonic layout experience (e.g. IPKISS, GDSFactory)
•       Experience in photonic fabrication, including a good understanding of foundry manufacturing processes and constraints on the design of photonic devices.
•       Experience with Design for Manufacturing is a plus.
•       Experience with EDA tools (Cadence, Mentor…) is a plus.
•       Good communication skills in English (French is a plus).
•       Proactivity, creativity, and all the soft skills that will help build the success of InSpek with us!
