About The Role Field Application Engineer to sit at the intersection of photonic engineering, scientific AI, and customer deployment. Own the technical relationship with PIC designers, EDA vendors, and foundry partners, translating complex real‑world engineering challenges into structured, AI‑assisted workflows that ship and scale. What You'll Be Doing Architect AI‑assisted workflows for photonic design, verification, and yield improvement — enabling customer teams to move faster without compromising manufacturability. Translate complex engineering processes (simulation setup, compact modelling, variability analysis, layout‑aware optimisation, measurement interpretation) into verifiable, physics‑grounded workflows. Identify high‑value bottlenecks and deliver solutions that integrate with existing EDA tools, simulation environments, and PDK ecosystems. Build models that improve design confidence and accelerate iteration across process corners and fabrication variability. Feed customer learnings directly back into platform capabilities and product roadmap. What We're Looking For MSc or PhD in integrated photonics, electrical or telecommunications engineering, or related field. 5+ years in photonic product development; market deploymentexperience highly valued.



Hands‑on with simulation and EDA tools (COMSOL, Ansys, RSoft, Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys OptoCompiler, Luceda IPKISS, or similar). Experience with advanced component design — high‑speed modulators or photodiodes. Track record working with EDA vendors or photonic foundries to deliver technical solutions. Excellent communicator — equally comfortable with device engineers, engineering managers, and enterprise stakeholders. Compensation & Perks $150,000 – $250,000 depending on experience. Equity (stock options). Access to cutting‑edge AI, physics, and EDA tooling. Direct collaboration with leading experts at the intersection of AI and hardware. Conference attendance, research engagement, and professional development. About The Company This company is building a new class of AI systems designed to reason with the rigor of the scientific method — combining deep learning with formal logic and physics‑based modelling to create verifiable, interpretable AI that accelerates real engineering workflows. Their mission: a 30× improvement in the speed, accessibility, and cost of semiconductor and photonic hardware development by 2030. #J-18808-Ljbffr
