Offer Description

The successful candidate will play an important role in the design and characterization of photonics and optoelectronics technologies under development at ICON Photonics, with a focus on interconnects and micro-packaging. She/he/they will address the challenge of ultra-low-loss coupling at the chip level for fiber-to-the-chip interconnects where mm-wave electrical interconnects will also be involved. She/he/they will also operate developments into the free-space light beam-shaping.

The candidate is expected to have the taste of communication and teamwork to cooperate both within the team and with international customers to lead R&I projects and advertise on the technology technical challenges and opportunities. The candidate will interface on a daily basis with the cleanroom fabrication and packaging teams of ICON Photonics.

The candidate will be responsible of the design, simulation (50%), and characterization (50%) phases of the new products, following a continuous innovation cycle. The context of reliability, yield and compliance to environmental conditions (Telcordia, quantum, space, cryogenic, etc.) is crucial.

The position is expected to evolve quickly to a leading R&D or product development position within the company.

Major Responsibilities / Tasks

• Design of photonics wafer-level integrated packaging solutions taking into account the optical, electrical and mechanical requirements for the chip interconnects
• Simulation and optical modelling of photonic components, waveguides and 3D polymer micro-optics technology such as spot-size-converter (SSC) and free-space beam shapers
• Optical characterization for the on-chip micro-optics and photonics interconnectsElectrical characterization of optoelectronics devices and microwave interconnectsInnovate, develop, and maintain original bench setups for R&D and industrial productionOperate reliability and validation tests plans for thermal, microwave, and photonics behaviorCreate, develop, and maintain detailed engineering documentation such as qualification plans, validation reports, component specifications/drawings, test procedures and work instructions
