Senior PIC Engineer
About The Position
Quantum computing promises to solve many important problems that could never be solved on any conventional computer. At PsiQuantum, we’re building a general-purpose silicon photonic quantum computer to tackle these very problems. We are looking for an energetic, highly motivated Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) engineer who will be responsible for the design, layout, and verification of photonic integrated circuits for a linear optic quantum computer (LOQC). We’re looking for a creative and innovative individual with strong fundamentals in the design, optimization, layout, and fabrication of integrated optical devices. This role is focused on pushing the boundaries of high-performance integrated photonic components and circuits. The role requires excellent python skills, experience with python-based layout tools and foundry tape outs, and experience with collaborative coding environments such as git.
Requirements
- PhD or equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science.
- 5+ years of relevant work or academic research experience in integrated photonics.
- Strong fundamentals of the design and characterization of photonic devices and circuits.
- Proven proficiency in Python programming for numerical analysis, data manipulation, automation and photonic circuit layout.
- Experience with silicon photonic manufacturing processes and foundry tapeouts.
- Strong fundamentals in electro-magnetic theory, statistical analysis, and quantum mechanics.
- Extensive experience with simulation platforms, particularly Lumerical, for designing and simulating photonic devices and circuits.
- Proven team player with an ability to work effectively across departments, sites, time zones.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Strong analytical and detail oriented problem-solving skills.
- Proven experience executing cross-department complex projects.
- Ability to work independently with limited direction.
Responsibilities
- Interacts with device, hardware, and system design teams to assist in overall development of Photonics and Quantum Optics photonic systems and devices.
- Supports foundry tape outs with photonic device design, design of experiments, layout, design verification, PDK development, and software development.
- Develops comprehensive documentation for tapeouts.
- Provides multi-disciplinary support to component and systems teams by resolving technical issues associated with components, parts, or systems.
- Applies quantitative analysis in determining root cause of highly technical problems and proposes, develops, and implements solutions for corrective action.
