Senior Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) Characterization Engineer

Your mission

To lead the photonic and electrical characterization of thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic integrated circuits (PICs) operating in the GHz regime. This role defines, develops, and operates advanced lab setups, including probe stations and test instrumentation, to extract performance metrics, identify improvement opportunities, and provide feedback to design and manufacturing. The engineer ensures high-quality measurement data, optimizes test procedures, and mentors junior engineers and operators.

Key responsibilities:

• Oversee daily characterization activities, ensuring high-quality, reproducible results.
• Define, design, build, and maintain optical and RF test setups, including probe station configuration, calibration, and optimization.
• Interface with design teams to understand device specifications and testing needs; collaborate with manufacturing to feed back performance insight...
