Tech Stack
Tools & technologiesAbout the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Develop and implement layouts for complex photonic integrated circuits, from component-level test structures to large-scale system PICs
- Translate photonic schematics and design requirements into efficient, manufacturable GDSII layouts
- Implement dense waveguide routing, multilayer optical interconnects, and die- and reticle-level floorplanning
- Develop and maintain parameterized photonic component cells (PCells) and reusable layout libraries
- Create Python-based scripts and automation tools for layout generation, routing, and design verification
- Integrate photonic and electrical layouts, including electrical routing, contact pads, and packaging interfaces
- Perform and debug physical verification, including DRC, LVS, and optical connectivity checks
- Collaborate with photonic designers, packaging engineers, and foundry partners to optimize layouts and support tapeout submissions
- Take ownership of PIC layouts from initial floorplanning through tapeout
Requirements
What you’ll need- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Physics, Optical Engineering, or a related field
- 2+ years of experience in photonic integrated circuit layout
- Proficiency with photonic layout tools such as GDSFactory, IPKISS, KLayout, or equivalent
- Strong Python scripting skills, including layout automation or parameterized designs
- Experience with photonic waveguide routing, component placement, and chip-level layout integration
- Familiarity with silicon photonics foundry PDKs, design rules, and tapeout processes
- Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and ability to collaborate in a multidisciplinary team
- Able to work onsite at HQ in NYC or, if outside the NY area and unwilling to relocate, travel as needed (25%)
- Must address work authorization/sponsorship for the United States
- Nice-to-have experience with large-scale PIC layout, optical switching networks, complex photonic routing architectures, multilayer silicon/silicon nitride platforms, interlayer optical transitions, automated routing, placement optimization, layout generation algorithms, Cadence Virtuoso, SKILL, electrical layout and EDA integration, photonic-electronic co-layout, packaging interfaces, or commercial silicon photonics foundry tapeouts
Benefits
Comp & perks- Equity
- Catered lunch every day at HQ
- Flexible scheduling rather than a rigid 9-to-5
