Photonics Module Engineer

• Validate models by designing and conducting experiments for empirical data collection and analysis • Detailed simulations and modeling of link, power, and thermal budgets to deliver photonic systems to specification • Work closely with photonics designers, optics, mechanical engineers, and system engineers to create system POC and provide technical guidance for full system prototype designs • Manage core technical details of new photonics prototypes and systems to ensure key results from concept phase translate through to full system demonstration • Perform FA and debugging for early prototypes

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in characterization of photonic systems, components, subassemblies, and/or modules • Excellent understanding of active and passive photonics components, electrical components, and thermal/mechanical interfaces • MS or PhD in electrical engineering, physics, or other photonics related field • Experience with lidar systems or optical transceivers, preferably chip scale implementations • Background in system level modeling for lidar or optical links. • Strong organizational and interpersonal skills with an ability to learn on the fly • Experience using python, MATLAB, JMP, R, or similar for modelling and data analysis
