Ayar Labs is pioneering the next generation of optical interconnect technology. We're seeking a highly motivated Modeling Engineer to join our System Modeling Team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of transceiver architectures. As a key contributor, you will drive the development and refinement of our cutting-edge link modeling tools, collaborate closely with our analog mixed-signal (AMS) and silicon photonics design teams, and leverage your expertise to optimize transceiver performance and predict manufacturing outcomes through advanced simulation techniques.

  • Optimize Transceiver Architectures: Partner with chip designers to refine and enhance transceiver architectures for optimal performance and manufacturability.
  • Model Development: Develop and maintain behavioral models for analog and mixed-signal circuits using Verilog-A to support system-level simulations.
  • Advance Link Modeling Infrastructure: Contribute your technical skills to the ongoing development and enhancement of our proprietary link modeling tools.
  • Lead Simulation Efforts: Execute and analyze Monte Carlo simulations on our Slurm cluster to predict manufacturing yields and establish robust component specifications.
  • Refine Simulation Parameters: Maintain and update parameter distributions within our Monte Carlo simulation framework to ensure accuracy and relevance.
  • Analyze and Correlate Data: Apply statistical analysis to correlate simulation results with real-world measurements, driving continuous improvement.
  • Provide Expert Guidance: Offer link modeling support and expertise to AMS and optics design groups, facilitating the simulation of next-generation transceiver architectures.
  • Set Component Specifications: Establish precise specifications for photonic and electronic transceiver components based on your insightful link modeling studies.
  • Master's degree in Optics/Photonics, Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 2+ years of demonstrated experience in electrical engineering or a closely related field.
  • Comprehensive understanding of high-speed electrical and/or optical links.
  • In-depth knowledge of high-speed electrical links, optical transceivers, silicon photonic devices, and optical test/measurement methodologies.
  • Strong background in signal processing principles and techniques.
  • Proficiency in behavioral modeling using languages such as Verilog-A, including knowledge of design methodologies for mixed-signal simulation.
  • Familiarity with Ethernet standards and electrical link standards (e.g., PCIe5/6, JESD204c).
  • Prior experience in the design and simulation of PIC components, large-scale integrated systems, or optical transceiver products would be a significant asset.
  • Hands-on experience with Slurm clusters and the ability to parallelize large-scale workloads.
  • Strong proficiency in Python for scientific computing and data analysis.
  • Knowledge with modern version control systems (e.g., Git).
  • Exceptional problem-solving and analytical abilities.
  • Meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a collaborative team.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively convey technical concepts.
  • Competitive salary range of $150,000-$192,000
