A photonic integrated circuit combines multiple optical functions onto a single chip, similar to how electronic integrated circuits integrate electrical components. PICs enable high-speed optical communication and advanced photonic processing.
A PIC engineer may design optical components, develop layouts, oversee fabrication processes, manage packaging integration or conduct optical testing and characterisation depending on specialism.
Industries that require PIC engineers include quantum computing, optical communications, LiDAR, sensor manufacturing, data centre infrastructure and emerging photonic computing sectors.
Common platforms include silicon photonics, InP and SiN, each selected based on performance, integration and wavelength requirements.
While electronic integrated circuits process electrical signals, photonic integrated circuits manipulate light signals, enabling higher bandwidth and lower latency in specific applications.
