The job
Integrated photonic sensors lately receive a lot of attention for a wide spectrum of applications. Indeed, in analogy to electronic integrated circuits, photonic integrated circuits combine and miniaturize optical functions, such as (laser) sources, detectors and filters, on a chip. Such photonic integrated circuits, mass manufactured at high quality using optical lithography and etching, are already commonly applied in optical fiber communication networks that form the basis of the internet.Imec has developed a state-of-the-art technology in its CMOS-fab that enables the fabrication of integrated photonic chips on a large scale in a cost-effective way. Using this technology, successful sensors for telecom, industrial and biomedical applications have already been developed. They promise to revolutionize the application domains in which they are being deployed. As lead photonic design engineer, you will be responsible for the functional and architectural design of photonic imaging systems for bio-medical, automotive and industrial applications. Your tasks will include:
- Crafting the strategy for the silicon photonics team based on market inputs and foreseeable state of the art
- Setting up the silicon photonic design infrastructure (tools, libraries, …)
- Carrying out design, layout and characterization of photonic building blocks, circuits and systems.
- Improving and optimizing the existing design methodologies and procedures.
- Contributing to funded and bilateral projects through their definition and their execution, depending on the level of experience and expertise of the candidate.
- Reporting to colleagues and clients.
- Publishing in international journals and contributing to major conferences;
- Hiring more team members.
- Guiding internship/thesis students.
You
- You have a minimum of Master’s degree in Photonics, Electronics or Physics Engineering and demonstrated photonics design or electromagnetic wave propagation experience. A PhD degree is preferred.
- You have at least five years, ideally 10 years, of experience in silicon photonics design.
- You have at least three years of experience leading or managing a team of technical peers into uncharted territory.
- You show good communication skills as you will be required to interface with internal and external customers.
- You are able to take initiative and work independently, while being part of a team.
- You have good programming skills and can quickly take up software and libraries.
- You are pragmatic and hands on with a can do attitude.
- You have experience working in R&D environments.
- You have the ability to communicate with international teams.
- You are Fluent in English, fluency in languages other than English is a plus.
