Photonics Layout and Design Automation Engineer

What you'll do:

• Drive and participate across various development activities including schematic driven layout and design, p-cell development, PDK management, and physical verifications.
• Drive and participate in software selection procedures to implement integrated environment for photonics simulation and layout tools.
• Participate in establishing a road map for photonics design automation.
• Work cross-functionally with design, process and test teams to develop CAD infrastructure that facilitate the compliance of DfX requirements and foundry design rules.
• Manage in-house photonic component model and layout libraries with proper revision control and regression tests.
• Continuously monitor quality escapes, and deploy corrective actions with a proper root cause analysis.

What you have:

• 5+ years of integrated circuit layout and design automation experience, preferably in a field of integrated photonics
• Comprehensive understanding of various areas of CAD developments encompassing simulation/layout automation, PDK development, and management, physical verification (LVS/DRC), hardware/software infrastructure management
• Expertise in p-cell development, LVS/DRC run-set development, source code revision control, and/or regression tests.
• Proficiency in commercial software tools commonly used in photonics mask layout from Cadence, Synopsys, Luceda, and Klayout
• Familiarity with the semiconductor fabrication process
• Experience with source code and library management
• Experience with Python and Linux shell scripting

Nice-to-haves:

• Knowledge of silicon photonics, and optoelectronic device physics
• Familiarity with commercial photonics simulation software environments from Synopsys, Cadence, Luceda, and Ansys

What's in it for you:

• Be part of a fast paced and dynamic team
• Very competitive compensation and meaningful stock grants
• Exceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and more
• Unlimited PTO: We care about results, not punching timecards
