2D Photonics

2D Photonics is a company that designs, develops, and manufactures next-generation photonic circuits for telecom and datacom applications. Their technology integrates graphene into photonics to create ultra-high bandwidth, low latency optical interconnects that reduce cost and energy consumption, particularly for generative AI, cellular, and strategic data transfer. Their solutions offer high bandwidth density, wavelength independence across O, C, and L bands, low power consumption with uncooled operation, and compatibility with silicon foundry manufacturing processes. This positions them as a scalable, high-performance provider of energy-efficient optical transceiver solutions addressing the growing demand for data traffic in AI, data centers, and mobile communications.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking an experienced Photonics Test Engineer to join a fast-growing team working on the design and development of cutting-edge transceiver solutions for ultra-high bandwidth, low latency optical interconnects targeting generative AI, cellular, and high bandwidth data transfer applications. You will have a proven track record in the testing and characterisation of silicon photonic devices.

What will you be doing?

• Developing and executing test plans for wafer and die-level characterisation of silicon

photonic ICs

• Developing lab-based automation scripts to accelerate optical and electrical

characterisation

• Designing and maintaining test fixtures such as evaluation modules and probe cards

• Collaborating with design teams to correlate measured results with simulated performance

• Documenting both test results and test designs (fixtures, procedures and scripts)

What we need to see?

• Master’s or PhD in relevant Engineering discipline with 5+ years industry experience

• A proven track record in testing and characterising photonic circuits for optical transceiver applications

• Expert user of high-speed optical and electrical test equipment including laser, OSA, VNA,

oscilloscopes and BER testers

• Excellent understanding of key optical measurements such as jitter, insertion loss, extinction

ratio, sensitivity and BER

• Expert user of Python or Matlab for both data analysis and automation

• Strong theoretical understanding of key optical circuits (modulator, detector, coupler)

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven, detail-oriented approach

• Excellent English verbal and written communication skills

• Experience working, communicating, and collaborating in a cross-functional team

• An ability to adapt to a fast-moving start-up environment, striving for innovation and

excellence in everything you do
