Staff Photonics Design & PDK Modeling Engineer

Master’s +5 years experience or PhD +3 years experience in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Physics, or related field.

Deep understanding of photonic device physics and experience in device simulation.

Experience building behavioral models for circuit simulators (e.g., Lumerical INTERCONNECT, Cadence, Synopsys OptSim, or custom Python solvers).

Experienced in Python for modeling, automation, and data analysis.

Comfortable with object-oriented programming and scientific libraries (NumPy, SciPy).

Python based layout experience.

Develop and maintain a library of pcells using Python-based layout frameworks.

Ensure strict synchronization between physical layout, logical netlists, and behavioral models.

Create and verify behavioral compact models for passive and active devices

Simulation Infrastructure: Build automated workflows that extract parameters from electromagnetic solvers (FDTD/FEM) and package them into the PDK for circuit-level simulation.

Model-Hardware Correlation: Validate simulation models against lab measurements.

Perform data fitting and statistical analysis to align model parameters with real-world silicon performance.
