The Senior Photonic Layout Design Engineer will be responsible for the physical design and verification of photonic integrated circuits, guiding projects from initial concepts to high-volume manufacturing. This role involves collaboration with a multidisciplinary team to develop next-generation Silicon Photonics and SERDES products. The engineer will lead complex layout designs and ensure rigorous verification processes are followed. The position offers an opportunity to work in a dynamic environment focused on innovation in semiconductor technology.

• BS, MS, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field or equivalent experience.
• At least 6+ years of hands-on, full-chip layout design experience in semiconductor, analog, or silicon photonics industries.
• Deep understanding of analog circuit layout, Silicon Photonic constraints, and device physics within advanced sub-micron CMOS and SiPh technologies.
• Proven expertise with Cadence Virtuoso and industry-standard verification suites.
• Strong proficiency in programming and scripting languages for layout automation and data processing.

• Take ownership of the physical design and verification of photonic integrated circuits.
• Lead complex, full-loop manual and automated layout designs for various components.
• Execute rigorous post-layout verification across multiple stepping versions.
• Own the layout of complex test structures and certification vehicles.
• Develop and implement AI-assisted design methods and layout automation scripts.
