R&D Laser Design & Modeling Engineer

Summary

About the job

A leading supplier of high-speed transceivers used in fiber optical communications is seeking a highly motivated Semiconductor Laser Design and Modeling Engineer. Responsibilities include design, modeling, and simulations of InP and GaAs based high-speed and high-power semiconductor lasers. The candidate is responsible for creating models and software to develop next-generation optoelectronics products in a young and dynamic R&D team.

Responsibilities

• Apply in-house design packages, commercial software, and self-written scripts to create high-speed or high-power laser device modeling and simulations, including optical waveguide, DC, RF, and thermal simulations.
• Design process flow and photomask with device fabrication engineers.
• Coordinate design verification with in-house Growth, Processing, Packaging, Characterization, and Reliability teams.
• Analyze experimental results to improve the design or model.
• Work as a team to propose new laser designs and provide support for design optimizations.
• Provide regular written and oral reports on design tasks and progress.
  
  

Qualifications

• Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics, or related fields; or M.S. degree with 5+ years of relevant laser design experience.
• 2+ years of work experience in semiconductor laser design is preferred.
• Education can generally be substituted for required specialized experience.
• Preferably having previous design experience in one or more of the following areas: high-speed laser, electro-absorption modulated laser (EML), vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), and high-power laser.
• Mastery of Matlab or other programming languages.
• Fully understand theories of semiconductor lasers, photodetectors, and other optoelectronic devices.
• Knowledge of basic semiconductor device fabrication processes is a plus.
• Self-motivated, careful, detail-oriented, and able to think logically.
  
  

Location

This position is on-site in Sugar Land, Texas.
