Nokia of America Corporation, Sr Silicon Photonics Laser Engineer (Multiple Positions), New York, NY.


  • Research and develop silicon photonics integrated circuit technology.

  • Main focus is on III-V technology development and narrow-linewidth laser design.

  • Responsible for the development process for complex photonic devices and systems-on-chip, from design through fabrication, testing and analysis.

  • Support the design of active and passive photonic devices and complex photonic integrated circuits and systems (mainly focused on epitaxial growth and design and/or III-V on Si device design and test).

  • Develop new design approaches for device-level design and system-level optimization.

  • Contribute to test development and analysis of device test data to correlate design with measurements (lasers as a bar, bare-die, or SOA/nITLA subassembly).

  • Collaborate with other functional teams in the organization to deliver co-designed and co-optimized photonics systems (SOA, DFB/DBR circuits, and tunable laser designs and products).

  • Responsible for development, test, and implement tunable laser feedback control systems (such as a PDI loop, or similar).

  • Responsible for design of epitaxial structures, device geometries, and wafer fab processes to achieve electro-optical performance that meets or exceeds specification with production yields suitable for volume manufacturing. #LI-DNI
