Principal Photonics Architect

My client is seeking a Principal Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) Engineer in the UK to work on the design and development of next-generation high-speed photonic ICs for advanced optical systems.

Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture and design of high-speed PICs for optical communications and sensing
• Develop and optimise photonic devices (e.g., modulators, detectors, waveguides) for high-bandwidth operation
• Perform modelling, simulation, and layout of integrated photonic circuits
• Work closely with electronics, packaging, and systems teams to deliver integrated solutions
• Provide technical leadership and mentor engineers within the photonics team

Requirements

• PhD or MSc in Photonics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline
• Significant experience designing photonic integrated circuits
• Strong understanding of high-speed optical device physics and photonic design tools
• Track record of delivering complex engineering projects

Desirable

• Experience with silicon photonics or heterogeneous integration platforms
• Knowledge of high-speed optical transceivers or coherent communication systems
