ResearchOnsiteInstitute of Microelectronics
Key Responsibilities
- Design high-speed thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) modulators for next-generation communications systems up to 400 G/lane.
- Perform RF modelling of electrodes, including impedance matching, velocity matching, and microwave loss.
- Collaborate with EIC driver design and system packaging teams to optimize TFLN modulators and packaging parasitics.
- Drive layout and design rule definition for 8-inch/12-inch wafer platforms, ensuring PDK-level repeatability.
- Conduct data analysis and maintain detailed technical documentation.
- Prepare technical presentations and papers for internal meetings, conferences, and journals.
- Collaborate with the project team to ensure quality and on-time delivery of various projects.
Requirements
- PhD in Integrated Photonics, Opto-electronics, Physics, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or equivalent.
- Proven track record in high-speed electro-optic (EO) modulator design.
- Proficiency in photonics simulation tools (Ansys Lumerical).
- Proficiency in RF simulation tools (Ansys HFSS, Keysight ADS) for circuit-level analysis.
- Strong ability to communicate and work effectively within a large team.
- High level of self-motivation and keen interest in next-generation photonics technology development.
