Silicon Photonics Test Engineer

Job Title: Silicon Photonics Engineer

Location: Onsite M-F in San Jose, CA 95134

Duration: Perm

Pay: $90k-$100k base + relocation package

Required Skills & Experience:

o Degree with some optics or silicon photonics exposure

o Basic optics or photonics background. Not expert-level, but some familiarity with optical concepts (insertion loss, polarization, optical engines)

o Some programming experience - Python, C++, C# are all acceptable.

Job Description:

We are looking for a Silicon Photonics Engineer with a strong background in optical engineering and hands-on experience in testing silicon photonics devices. The ideal candidate will have some experience with using optical and electrical test equipment (e.g., OSA, power meters, VNAs, probe stations) and Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), specifically utilizing Advantest's V93000 hardware and SmarTest 8 software. This role will be critical in developing, implementing, and optimizing test solutions for next-generation silicon photonics products.

Responsibilities:

· Develop and debug test programs for silicon photonics devices using ancillary equipment and the Advantest V93000 ATE platforms using SmarTest 8 software.

· Design and implement test methodologies for optical and electrical characterization of silicon photonics components and integrated circuits.

· Collaborate with design, product, and manufacturing teams to define test requirements and improve test coverage and efficiency.

· Analyze test data, troubleshoot yield issues, and implement solutions to optimize test processes.

· Design and develop test hardware, including probe cards, device load boards, and optical fixturing.

· Characterize and validate new test equipment and instrumentation for silicon photonics testing.

· Develop and implement test setups for optical component validation.
