Job Description Photonics Design Engineer – High-Speed Modulators Location: Belgium

Schedule: Full-time, Permanent

We are partnering with a leading R&D organisation in Belgium and the Netherlands to recruit an experienced Photonics Design Engineer . This role offers the chance to work on high-speed modulators , explore new concepts and materials, and contribute to cutting-edge silicon photonics technology for next-generation optical communication.

Role Overview As a Photonics Design Engineer, you will lead the development of high-speed modulators, exploring innovative concepts and material systems. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to design, validate, and enhance photonic components, subsystems, and circuits, driving performance toward 400G+ applications.

Key Responsibilities

Work as part of a photonic design team to develop advanced silicon photonics platforms.
Introduce new high-speed modulator concepts, including opto-electronic and RF line design.
Evaluate different modulator topologies, including micro-ring and Mach-Zehnder modulators.
Integrate new material systems into existing mass-manufacturing platforms to enhance performance.
Collaborate with process teams to improve or replace process modules of high-speed modulators.
Design and validate photonic components, subsystems, and circuits.
Define test plans and analyse experimental data during the R&D phase.
Work closely with component/module and test teams to ensure successful development.

Requirements & Qualifications

PhD in Photonics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field with 3+ years’ experience, or MSc in Photonics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field with 6+ years’ experience.
Design and testing of photonic components in silicon photonics or III/V materials.
Proven track record in managing high-speed modulator development projects.
Hands-on experience with photonics modelling tools (Lumerical, Photon Design, COMSOL, etc.).
Hands-on experience with RF modelling and process modelling tools.
General knowledge of silicon photonics devices and process flows.
Hands-on experience with layout tools (e.g., Luceda Ipkiss).
