Lead the development and sustainment of advanced optical packaging solutions for silicon photonics (SiPh) and co-packaged optics (CPO) platforms.
Compensation
Expected Salary Range $131,900.00 - $241,500.00
Responsibilities
Own the definition, design, and qualification of optical packaging architectures for SiPh-based modules, including fiber attach, photonic die placement, and thermal/mechanical integration.
Develop and implement scalable fiber-to-chip coupling strategies (e.g., V-groove, passive alignment, lens integration) for high-density optical I/O.
Drive heterogeneous integration (HI) of photonic and electronic components using 2.5D/3D/3.5D packaging technologies (e.g., TSV, Cu-Cu hybrid bonding, advanced molded integration).
Perform multiphysics simulations (thermal, mechanical, optical) to optimize package performance and reliability.
Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for yield and reliability issues using FMEA, DOE, and FA tools.
Requirements
Master’s degree or higher in Packaging, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
Nice to have: automated optical/electro-optical test setups
Lead the receiver (Rx) photonic integrated circuit for the OPU platform, owning design from photodetector device to chip-level architecture and tapeout.
