What you will be doing:

  • Work on Thermal and Structural design of Silicon Photonic designs

  • Run stress simulation in optical components and fiber alignment and propose improved design of optical components.

  • Set up experimental methodology for thermal validation and laser performance under different stress conditions.

  • Modeling Si die-package thermo-mechanical interactions

  • Solder joint fatigue and creep modeling

  • Support the optical engineering and system engineering leads with the opto-mechanical system design.

  • Die-package thermo-mechanical interactions in electronic packages for predicting failures during various assembly and reliability tests to recommend design, process or material changes.

  • Hygroscopic stresses in electronic packages due to moisture diffusion.

  • Crack propagation and interfacial delamination.

  • Multifaceted simulation of wire-bonding and wire fusing process

  • Thermal characterization of electronic packages (crafting thermal specification datasheets based on FE and experiments according to JEDEC standards)

  • Solder joint fatigue and creep modeling

What we need to see:

  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a similar discipline (or equivalent experience) with 15+ years of experience in a related field

  • 8+ years of experience in the development of silicon photonics ICs from concept to high-volume manufacturing

  • Experience in product development of optics or photonic systems

  • Experience in applied research on Silicon Photonic ICs and Systems

  • Hands-on experience with Silicon Photonics products

  • Proficient in Ansys tools

  • Background with design tools and fixtures to aid in alignment, fabrication, gluing, and assembly of lasers, interferometers, and optical components

  • Experience working, communicating, and collaborating in a cross-functional team environment

  • Experience defining system performance and component specifications

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

  • Self-motivated and self-directed individual, with little supervision vital
