Position Overview
| Essential Job Duties |
The postdoc will develop next-generation visible photonic integrated circuits (vPICs). They will work on the create passive optical devices for integration into a monolithic vPIC platform with a focus on low-loss waveguides, sources, detectors, and modulators. The postdoc will design, fabricate, and characterize these devices.
Duties and Responsibilities include:
- Conduct simulations of active/passive photonic devices such as waveguides, couplers, meta-lenses constructed of various materials.
- Be able to conduct performance/tolerance trade-offs for manufacturability and high-temperature environments to meet program goals. (e.g., Lumerical, Zemax). Inverse or AI/ML aided photonic design experience is highly desirable.
- Fabrication of photonic devices (e.g., lithography, dry/wet etching, wafer-bonding, PECVD, metal
- sputter/evaporation, lapping/polishing, dicing, etc.).
- Perform measurements of photonic integrated circuits and be able to automate fiber alignment systems with custom scripts (e.g., Python).
- Mentor Ph.D., Master, and Undergraduate student researchers.
- Prepare and/or review manuscripts for publication in high-impact journals and peer-reviewed academic conferences.
