Thursday, 30 April 2026

As a Silicon Photonics Senior Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, development and qualification of integrated optical devices used in Cisco silicon photonics transceivers. Work within a team of silicon photonics designers on integrated optical devices to enable the next generation of Cisco optical transceiver products. Develop modulators and photodetector through device design, layout of test and characterization structures, testing (including high speed) and reliability qualification to make them ready for use in products. Interact with the foundry and its engineers to optimize the manufacturing process and select process parameters. Interface with product team IC designers to deliver device models and optimize the performance parameters of the optoelectronic devices to match with drivers and TI - As. Minimum Qualifications. Bachelor’s degree in Optics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field and 7 years of experience an engineering role. Experience designing passive and active silicon photonics components (e.g. grating couplers, photodetectors, modulators, filters) or subsystems that use them. Experience using software modeling tools such as Ansys/ Lumerical, Silvaco, or Photon Design. Experience using CAD layout tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, k. Layout, etc. Preferred Qualifications. Master’s degree in Optics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field and 5 years of experience in an engineering role or PhD in Optics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field and 2 years of experience. Experience with optical test equipment (e.g. tunable lasers, detectors, OSA, VNA) and microwave measurement techniques, as well as with statistical analysis tools (e.g. JMP). Experience with the design of integrated electronic circuits that interface with active silicon photonics components (e.g., TI - As, modulator drivers).
