Photonics Design Expert – Belgium

Location: Belgium

Salary: Highly Competitive + Exceptional Benefits

As a Photonics Design Expert, you will lead innovative R&D projects from concept studies to new product introduction (NPI). You will design, model, and validate photonic components and circuits, guide system-level architecture decisions, and work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver cutting-edge photonic solutions. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to next-generation silicon photonics devices for optical communications, AI applications, and advanced photonic systems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead new concept studies and product development projects from R&D to NPI.
  • Design and model photonic components and circuits.
  • Contribute to chip design reviews to ensure designs meet specifications.
  • Validate designs through test planning and statistical analysis of measurement data.
  • Define PIC-based system architectures for novel applications (e.g., high-baud-rate transceivers, optical DSP, 6G photonics, RF/mmWave photonics, photonics for AI, 3D/4D image sensing, photonic neural networks).
  • Collaborate with local processing and test teams, as well as global component/module teams.
  • Interact with stakeholders to secure funding and resources for new R&D projects.
  • Conduct literature reviews and participate in conferences to support R&D with new ideas and solutions.

Requirements & Qualifications:

  • Preferably PhD in Photonics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field with 5+ years’ experience in the photonics industry.
  • Design and testing of silicon photonics and III-V components.
  • Knowledge of integrating PICs with EICs, RF ICs, and driving circuitry in transceiver modules or equivalent subsystems.
  • Proven track record in project/product management, bringing components or systems to volume production.
  • Product development experience including specification definition, yield improvement, and market-oriented thinking.
  • Hands-on experience with photonics modelling tools (e.g., Photon Design, Lumerical) and layout tools (e.g., Luceda Ipkiss).
  • Experience with Python and VPI software is advantageous.
  • Apply Now - Take the next step in your career and contribute to ground-breaking advancements in photonics.
