Minimum 4+ years’ experience (advanced degree inclusive) using and maintaining optical/photonic systems

Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. Person. defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status

Due to national security requirements imposed by the U.S. Government, candidates for this position must not be a People's Republic of China national or Russian national unless the candidate is also a U.S. citizen.

WE VALUE:

PhD Degree minimum (in Optics, Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field)

Experience with design-for-manufacturing

Experience with photonics fabrication processes and metrology

Experience with materials used in visible photonics circuits and optics

Experience in product development regarding photonic design, fabrication and/or packaging of PIC systems

Experience working with cross-disciplinary teams (architecture, physics, fabrication, mechanical engineering, photonics) to develop solutions

Experience leading and mentoring small teams

Broad understanding of optical principles and practices and experience applying this knowledge to projects

Programming experience in Matlab, Python, C

Experience with testing and data analysis (taking, plotting, analyzing, fitting and interpreting relevant data from optical testing experiments)
