Photonics Layout Engineer

Dustphotonics, now part of Credo, develops cutting-edge technology in Silicon Photonics, revolutionizing connectivity and communication in data centres. Silicon photonics is becoming a standard technology used for high-performance systems, solving challenges of performance, integration, power and cost. This technology is growing rapidly also in other markets such as Healthcare, LIDARs and other sensors. We are looking to solve difficult problems, smartly and simply, by thinking out of the box, leveraging the knowledge and know-how of the team members and working as a team to create Magic. Our Company culture is characterized by accountability for our ethics and for being fair to every employee, customer, supplier, and partner. We believe we must work hard and have fun on the way to success. We are looking for a Photonics Layout Engineer to join our integrated photonics design team. This position is also well-suited for Analog Layout Engineers who are interested in transitioning into photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design. In this role, you will be responsible for creating, optimizing and validating PIC layouts, ensuring manufacturability, performance and compliance with foundry design rules. You will work closely with device designers, process engineers and tape-out teams to deliver high-quality layouts of silicon photonics PICs. Strong candidates will have hands-on experience with industry-standard layout tools, especially Cadence Virtuoso or similar software. Understanding of photonic components, waveguide routing and automated layout generation is a major advantage. You will also contribute to layout methodologies, PCells, and design automation flows to accelerate PIC development.
