Develop and apply ray-tracing, wave-optics, and analytical models to design and optimize fiber-optic connectors and waveguides. Use simulation results to explain the underlying physical mechanisms and support prototype development.
Responsibilities
- Design, model, and analyze fiber-optic connectors and fiber-to-chip interfaces.
- Calculate and analyze optical modes in fibers and waveguides, and model light propagation and coupling between fibers, waveguides, and photonic chips.
- Perform sensitivity, tolerance, and Monte Carlo analyses to predict coupling efficiency, insertion loss, and performance statistics.
- Optimize designs for optical performance and turn simulation results into design rules and specifications that support prototype fabrication.
- Compare simulation results with measurement data and support root-cause analysis of discrepancies and performance issues.
Requirements
- Ph.D or Master's degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Optics, Photonics, Optical Engineering, or a related technical field
- Nice to have: telecommunications
- Nice to have: optical connectivity
- Nice to have: co-packaged optics
- Nice to have: data center and AI interconnect architectures
