Photonics Engineer in SPAIN

What you’ll do:

• Design and simulate silicon photonics integrated optical devices for diverse applications, including biosensing and optical communications. 
• Development of photonic integrated circuits according to foundry design rules, optimizing designs to ensure high yield and superior performance.
• Formulate and implement test plans to evaluate the performance of photonic integrated circuits, including the definition of experimental characterization setups.
• Measure of fabricated devices and analysis of experimental results.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including electronic engineers, software developers, and system engineers, to seamlessly integrate photonic solutions into broader systems.
• Document design processes, characterization results and project milestones.
• Collaborate in the elaboration of project proposals for both R&D and customer-oriented projects (depending on seniority)

What you’ll bring:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics or a related field, PhD in Electrical/Electronic Engineering with post-graduate specialization in photonics.
• Relevant and demonstrable experience in photonics structures design and simulation preferably in a high-tech or startup environment, or during PhD. Experience in the design of photonics devices for optical communications applications is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with some of the main photonics design and simulation tools, i.e. Ansys Lumerical, Synopsis RSOFT, Tidy 3D, Meep and/or MPB.
• Hands-on experience in mask layout design for commercial foundries. Experience in design flow and layout scripting for integrated photonics (e.g. Nazca, KLayout) is a big plus.
• Experience with general engineering software such as Matlab, Labview and programming languages such as C/C++, Python…
• Contrastable lab skills, including handling of optical instrumentation: laser, power meter, lenses, polarizers, IR-cameras…
• Participation in research or industrial projects is a plus.
• Exhibit passion, energy, and a high level of motivation to contribute to R&D projects and initiatives.
• Showcase strong teamwork, organizational skills, autonomy, and project management capabilities.

What we offer:

• A great team with first class colleagues and experienced academic advisors that will unleash your PIC design skills.
• Work on a product-oriented deep-tech start-up in an early stage, enabling a professional career with huge potential for motivated and talented young people.
• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Relocation package if applies.
• Intensive summer days and every Friday of the year.
• 23 days’ vacation plus bank holidays.
• Cutting-edge equipment boosting your productivity.
