Analog Photonics Overview

Analog Photonics is a fast-growing startup developing the next generation miniaturized LiDAR sensors for autonomous applications and high-speed electrooptic transceivers. Join our team if you are:

  • Looking for an attractive salary, bonus, and benefits
  • Interested in working with talented and knowledgeable individuals
  • Excited to go through rigorous design-build-test cycles
  • Enthusiastic about seeing the rapid progress with your contributions
  • A team player being able to work in an office and lab complex in Boston Seaport


Job Description

We are currently looking for a Silicon Photonics Engineer to join the silicon photonics team. The role will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of CMOS, LiDAR, and system designers to develop innovative chip-scale LiDAR systems based on silicon photonics technology, and high speed electro-optic transceiners. Tasks will include design and test of silicon photonics components, which will then be integrated by the candidate in complex photonic systems. III/V design experience and/or epitaxy design is a plus. The candidate will work with a variety of teams to support the calibration, operation, and qualification of these chip-scale systems. This is a great opportunity for anyone with the requisite background who wants to gain experience in product design, prototyping, and manufacturing.



Key Responsibilities

  • Design, Model, Layout and Verification of III-V/Silicon Photonics devices
  • Work with wafer-scale/die-scale tester to develop seamless data acquisition
  • Interface with packaging service suppliers and communicating technical drawings.
  • Generate reports for internal deliverables and external customer interaction
  • Execute current and new projects from start to finish
  • Contribute technically to new funding opportunities




Required Qualifications

  • M.S. (Ph.D. preferred) in electrical engineering, applied physics, or related field
  • 5 years of integrated photonics component or system design and test
  • Electromagnetic simulations in FDTD, Modesolvers, etc. (e.g. Lumerical/Synopsys)
  • Mask layout experience
  • Photonic component testing experience with standard positioners, tunable lasers
  • Proficient in scientific analysis software (MATLAB, Python)


Ideal Qualifications

  • Familiarity with Silicon Photonics Design
  • Familiarity with III-V Design
  • Die-Scale/Wafer-Scale Prober or Photonics Lab equipment automation and remote control
  • Chip-scale Optoelectronics Packaging
  • Experience modelling active and passive photonic components and developing PDKs
