Job Description
Here is a professional, well-structured, and comprehensive summary of the job vacancy:
---
# **Career Opportunity: Photonic Design Engineer**
**Location:** Belgium
**Principal Employer:** Job Talent
**Recruitment Agency:** Manpower Resources of Asia
**DMW Accreditation No.:** 10373058
---
### **Executive Summary**
Job Talent is actively seeking a highly accomplished **Photonic Design Engineer** to join an advanced engineering and research team in **Belgium**. This role centers on the end-to-end design, modeling, multiphysics simulation, and optimization of Integrated Photonic Circuits (PICs) and III-V semiconductor optical devices. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering, cleanroom, and fabrication teams to transition cutting-edge photonic concepts into robust, manufacturable products.
---
### **Core Responsibilities**
* **PIC & Device Design:** Design, model, and optimize advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) and III-V semiconductor optical components (including semiconductor lasers, SOAs, and passive/active integrated optics).
* **Layout Generation:** Develop, review, and verify precise PIC layouts using standard tools (IPKISS, GDSFactory, or equivalent) strictly aligned with Process Design Kits (PDKs) and design rules.
* **Multiphysics Simulation:** Perform optical, electrical, and thermal modeling using industry-standard platforms (Lumerical FDTD/MODE/CHARGE/HEAT, COMSOL, PhotonDesign) to predict and improve device performance.
* **Design for Manufacturability (DFM):** Liaise with cleanroom and foundry teams to ensure compatibility with fabrication processes, heterogeneous integration, and yield optimization standards.
* **Characterization & Validation:** Analyze experimental measurement data against simulated models to identify performance gaps, refine designs, and troubleshoot process anomalies.
* **Documentation & R&D:** Prepare comprehensive technical reports, layout databases, and simulation dossiers while staying abreast of emerging trends in integrated photonics.
---
### **Candidate Qualifications**
* **Education:** Master’s Degree or Ph.D. in Photonics, Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Microelectronics, or a related discipline.
* **Experience:** Minimum of **5 years** of hands-on experience in integrated photonics design and semiconductor device engineering.
* **Technical Expertise:**
* Deep understanding of photonic device physics, III-V semiconductors, laser physics, and integrated optical systems.
* Proven experience with PIC layout suites (**IPKISS, GDSFactory**, or equivalent).
* High proficiency in simulation environments (**Lumerical Suite, COMSOL, PhotonDesign**).
* Working knowledge of cleanroom fabrication workflows, PDK integration, and heterogeneous integration.
* **Core Competencies:** Strong analytical, diagnostic, and cross-functional collaboration skills; proven ability to bridge theoretical modeling with physical device characterization.
---
### **Employment Benefits**
* **Zero Placement Fee**
* **Zero Processing Fee**
* **No Salary Deductions**
* **Free Medical Examination** (for selected candidates)
* **No IELTS Required**
---
### **Application Requirements**
Interested candidates must prepare the following documents:
* Updated, comprehensive Resume/Curriculum Vitae (CV)
