PIC Design Engineer

Photonic IC Design Engineer

Location : Bergamo or Pisa, Italy (hybrid / remote roles may be considered in exceptional cases)

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking an experienced Photonic IC Design Engineer to join a fast-growing team working on the design and development of cutting-edge transceiver solutions for ultra-high bandwidth, low latency optical interconnects targeting generative AI, cellular, and high bandwidth data transfer applications. You will have strong analytic and mathematic skills with a proven track record in silicon photonics circuit design.

What will you be doing?

• Collaborating with electronic design, system and process engineering teams to develop and

optimise photonic integrated circuits such as modulators, detectors and passive waveguide

structures

modelling, that your designs meet specifications and performance requirements

sign-offs (DRC, LVS)

evaluation of new technologies and patent filing

modelling and PDK domains

What we need to see?

engineering, or applied physics

applications, from concept through to validation

waveguide optics, modulation and detection schemes, coupling mechanisms, and device

layout for fabrication

component-level issues and propose new solutions

photonic design concepts to realization in products or prototypes

excellence in everything you do
