Staff Photonics PDK Modeling Engineer

We are hiring a Photonics PDK Modeling Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will lead the development of our internal Process Design Kit (PDK). You will act as the architect of our component library, bridging the gap between physical device physics and system-level simulation. You will develop robust compact models for active and passive components, ensuring that our simulation environment accurately predicts the behavior of our physical layouts. You will work heavily in Python, applying software engineering rigor to the challenges of photonic hardware design.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain a library of pcells using Python-based layout frameworks. Ensure strict synchronization between physical layout, logical netlists, and behavioral models.
• Create and verify behavioral compact models for passive and active devices.
• Simulation Infrastructure: Build automated workflows that extract parameters from electromagnetic solvers (...
