Design passive and active photonic components at Xanadu using simulation pipelines, design experiments, and manufacturing-aware analysis. Work within the photonic integration team.
As a Senior Photonics Design Engineer, you will develop components for Xanadu’s fault-tolerant architecture. Apply design of experiments, design for manufacturing, scripted mask design, and scalable analysis pipelines. Explore performance tradeoffs with 200mm and 300mm fabrication partners while closing the design loop. Your work will target sub-milli-dB-loss components through advanced analysis and simulation techniques.
Key Responsibilities
Develop passive and active integrated optical components
Execute design of experiments for photonic components
Apply design-for-manufacturing concepts to component development
Explore performance tradeoffs with fabrication partners
Use analysis pipelines to close the design loop
Requirements
Master’s or PhD in engineering, science, or related field
