About this role
About the Role Responsible for delivering a Photonic IC (PIC) for Celestial's key product segment. Own all aspects related to PIC design, including photonic architecture, routing, schematic capture and modeling, and physical design. Work with broader analog, digital and packaging teams to ensure the PIC meets product specifications and integration requirements; contribute to silicon photonic devices and subsystems to augment the Celestial Photonics PDK. What You'll Do
- Own the design of the Photonic IC (PIC) for Celestial's key product segment, from architecture to physical layout.
- Lead photonic architecture & routing, schematic capture & modeling, and integration with ASIC and packaging teams.
- Collaborate with analog, digital and packaging teams to ensure PIC meets specifications and integration requirements.
- Contribute to the design of Silicon Photonic devices and subsystems to augment the Celestial Photonics PDK. What We're Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and 10-15 years of related professional experience OR Master’s degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 5-10 years of experience.
- Strong experience with complete Silicon Photonics PIC development (architecture, routing, link-budget development, system integration).
- Strong experience with modeling of photonic circuits and with simulation of Silicon Photonics components using standard tools (Lumerical, Photon Design, RSoft, VPI or similar).
- Experience with physical design/layout tools (Cadence, Synopsis, Mentor or similar).
- Experience with PIC co-design with ASICs and digital control blocks.
- Experience with data analysis tools (JMP, DataConductor or similar). Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: USD 158,600 - 237,600 per year.
- Highlights include an employee stock purchase plan with a 2-year look back, family support programs, robust mental health resources, and a recognition and service awards program that support financial well-being, family support, mental and physical health, and recognition.
