ppDesign and simulate passive and active InP photonic integrated circuits at the frontier of electro‑optic performance. You will push the boundaries of high‑speed modulator design, bridge the gap between physics simulation and manufacturable hardware, and own the full loop from concept to tapeout to characterisation. /ph3Responsibilities Qualifications /h3ulliPhD or equivalent in photonics, electrical engineering, or applied physics with a focus on integrated photonics or optoelectronics /liliHands‑on photonic integrated circuit design (silicon photonics, InP) /liliExperience designing electro‑optic modulators (EAM or MZM) in III‑V platforms /liliStrong simulation skills: FDTD, EME, or equivalent photonic simulation tools (Lumerical, COMSOL, Tidy3D, or custom) /liliFamiliarity with foundry PDKs, DRC/LVS verification, and tapeout submission workflows /liliAI‑assisted design and development workflows — LLM‑aided layout scripting, automated parameter sweeps, and agentic simulation pipelines that close the geometry‑to‑performance loop with minimal manual iteration /liliExperimental characterisation of photonic devices — optical, electro‑optic, and RF /liliOpto‑electronic co‑design pushing the limits of modulator bandwidth /liliKnowledge of DWDM system requirements and datacenter optical interconnects /liliInP foundry tapeout experience with major III‑V MPW platforms /liliBackground in optical frequency combs and optical communication systems /li /ulh3What we offer /h3ulliCompetitive salary with meaningful early‑stage equity participation (ESOP) /liliDirect contribution to a world‑class InP photonic platform at an ETH Zürich deep‑tech spinoff /liliSmall team, zero bureaucracy — full ownership of your device domain from day one /liliWorld‑class lab infrastructure and compute resources in Zurich /liliOffice in central Zurich — Europe's deep‑tech capital /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
