About The Position

Design, fabricate, and characterize low-power, high-speed optoelectronic devices (microLEDs, VCSEL arrays, etc.) for photonic interconnect applications. Perform device design and modeling (optical/electrical/thermal) using simulation tools such as LightTools, Lumerical, COMSOL, or equivalent. Develop process integration for photonic interconnect solutions, including coupling strategies between transmitter, waveguide, fiber, and receiver. Set up measurement metrology; conduct optical, electrical, and tolerance analysis of high-speed photonic devices. Optimize components for performance, efficiency, reliability, and manufacturability. Establish and manage external collaborations with partners, customers, and suppliers.

Requirements

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related field.
• Strong knowledge of optoelectronic device physics and design.
• 5+ years of experience in compound semiconductor processing (GaN, GaAs, InP) with emphasis on microLED or VCSEL technologies.
• Deep understanding and hands-on experience for epitaxial growth, litho, etching, metallization, passivation, backend, packaging and testing for optoelectronic devices.
• Proficiency in simulation tools for optical/electrical/thermal modeling.
• Excellent communication skills, problem-solving ability, and capability to work in a collaborative research environment.
