This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Photonics Design Engineer to take a lead role developing high-speed optical circuit switching (OCS) technology using an advanced integrated photonics platform.

The role

  • Design innovative optical circuit switches and switching architectures
  • Develop PIC optical circuits for high-speed switching demonstrators
  • Explore system-level trade-offs including switching speed, insertion loss, crosstalk and scalability
  • Design control-loop, bias-control and calibration strategies for fast, stable switching
  • Specify the high-speed electronics required to drive and stabilise the optical switch
  • Build and validate prototypes and demonstrators
  • Analyse performance and feed results back into future platform development
  • Work closely with business development to translate market requirements into technical solutions

Your background

  • Master’s degree or above in Photonics, Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related discipline
  • 3+ years’ experience within photonics or high-speed integrated systems
  • Strong silicon photonics and PIC design experience, ideally with SOI and/or SiN platforms
  • Experience with photonic/waveguide simulation and integrated circuit layout
  • Understanding of high-speed electronics, feedback systems and control-loop theory
  • Comfortable working across optical, electronic and system-level design
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work independently within a fast-moving R&D environment
  • Experience with optical switching architectures, RF/microwave design or system-level modelling of communication and switching networks would be a plus
