Job Description

Intel Silicon Photonics Product Division (SPPD) is at the forefront of silicon photonics integration and is at the heart of Intel's transformation from a PC company to a company that powers the cloud and billions of smart, connected computing-devices. Since announcing the world's first hybrid silicon laser nearly a decade ago, our team continues to lead the industry with cutting-edge technology and efficient, scalable high-volume manufacturing. Our dedication to advanced development ensures that Intel Silicon Photonics continues to drive future data center bandwidth growth with smaller form factors, co-packaging and higher speeds from 400G today to 1.6T+ and beyond tomorrow. We are looking for great talent to accelerate this journey so if you are interested in joining our leading organization then we want to hear from you. Intel's SPPD is currently seeking a Principal Photonics Design Engineer with extensive experience in development of Photonic integrated circuits and track record of innovations in high-speed photonic components design. A proven record in carrying designs from initial concept to customer delivery is required. You will have the opportunity to define product architectures, 112Gbaud+ photonics components, and hands on contribute to the development of the next generation photonics. You will be the key interface with stakeholders and leadership internally and externally. In addition, you will be the lead technical engineer assessing risks and identifying timely solutions to achieving program goals.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a similar discipline with 10+ years of experience in a related field and 8+ years of relevant industry experience
• 8+ years of experience in development of silicon photonics ICs from concept to high volume manufacturing
• Extensive (8+ years) experience in in designing, simulating, and testing high-speed optical modulators for 50+Gbaud in Si, IIIV, and other material systems including micro-ring, Mach-Zehnder, and electro-absorption modulators
