Senior Photonic Layout Engineer

Ph.D. in optical engineering, electrical engineering or related field/discipline 8+ years of professional relevant experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience 5+ years of experience in the hands-on design, simulation, and optimization of optical metalenses 3+ years of programming experience in a general-purpose programming language (like Python, Matlab, etc.) Experience with simulation tools for photonic devices, such as Lumerical, COMSOL, Flexcompute, or similar Experience with raytracing tools and optical design tools, such as Zemax, Code V or similar Strong data processing, visualization, and organizational skills Familiarity with fabrication processes, design constraints, test, and packaging requirements for metalenses

Build up the micro-optics and metalens design and simulation workflow, across multiple photonics and optics simulation tools, to ensure high accuracy, efficient, and detailed modelling. Model and optimize the design of meta-atom libraries using techniques such as finite-element analysis, FDTD, RCWA, etc. Utilize the simulation pipeline and ray-tracing tools to design and optimize metalens and micro-optic components Perform automated sensitivity and tolerance analysis on optical systems composed of meta-optic components Maintain high-quality, scalable, well-tested scripts and models through architecture and code reviews. Use device characterization data as feedback for design and fabrication to improve optics performance and simulation accuracy. Drive, review, and finalize device specifications in collaboration with the system team, system integrators, and product team Drive research efforts in the modeling and integration of metalenses in complex systems, in collaboration with cross-functional collaborators. Identify, track, and resolve or mitigate execution roadblocks and technical risks Provide clear, concise communication to management and team members in different forums and for a variety of backgrounds and expertise Strong team player with the ability to collaborate with various stakeholders, such as testing engineers and physicists, who depend on the design results
