About us

Scintil Photonics is the global leader in DWDM laser sources for AI. Using its SHIP™ (Scintil Heterogeneous Integrated Photonics) technology, Scintil developed LEAF Light™, the world's first single-chip DWDM laser source for high-density and low power optical connectivity in scale-up networks. Headquartered in Grenoble, France, with operations across North America, Scintil is built to support global needs for advanced AI infrastructure

Position overview

As a Mask CAD Engineer, you will own the entire mask data preparation (GDS) and layout release process for our SHIP technology.

You will build and maintain scalable mask preparation flows, ensure data integrity, automate processes, and drive successful tape-outs to our foundries.

You will work closely with device designers, simulation engineers, and process teams to translate our designs into manufacturable mask layouts compliant with foundry PDK rules.

Key responsibilities

• Prepare and validate GDS/OASIS data, including large-scale PIC layouts.
• Collect, validate, and integrate GDSII contributions from various internal or external design sources.

Qualifications

• MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Microelectronics, or similar field.
• Experience with GDSII/OASIS layout formats and hierarchical IC design data.
• Practical knowledge of silicon photonics layout concepts.
• Strong hands-on experience with CAD tools (Klayout or equivalent).
• Proficiency in scripting (Python or equivalent).
• Understanding of photolithography and mask manufacturing processes.
• Proven tape-out experience, preferably with Silicon Photonics technologies.
• Fluent in English (C1 level or above); French is a plus.
