Position Overview
Essential Job Duties
The primary purpose of this position is to lead innovative research in photonic accelerators through the design, heterogeneous integration, and characterization of advanced hybrid III-V/silicon photonic integrated circuits. The position supports the development of next-generation optical computing technologies that deliver ultra-wideband performance and energy-efficient computation by combining III-V material capabilities with scalable silicon photonics platforms. The incumbent will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to advance concepts from device design through system demonstration and application validation.
Duties And Responsibilities Include
- Drive the end-to-end lifecycle of hybrid III-V/silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs), including definition, architectural design, simulation, layout, and comprehensive characterization.
- Conduct high-frequency and active device characterization, performing RF testing beyond 50 GHz, standard laser LIV measurements, optical injection locking, Bit Error Rate (BER) testing, and eye-diagram analysis.
- Guide and mentor a multidisciplinary team of Ph.D., Master’s, and undergraduate student researchers, fostering technical growth and aligning their work with project milestones.
- Author, review, and present high-impact manuscripts and technical papers for publication in top-tier peer-reviewed journals and international academic conferences.
- Partner with internal and external multidisciplinary teams to transition novel photonic concepts into validated hardware prototypes and system demonstrations.
