R&D Laser Design and Modeling Engineer

Summary

AOI is a leading supplier of high-speed transceivers used in fiber optical communications. We are looking for a highly motivated Semiconductor Laser Design and Modeling Engineer. Responsibilities include design, modeling, and simulations of InP and GaAs based high-speed and high-power semiconductor lasers. The candidate is responsible for creating models and software to develop next-generation new optoelectronics products in a young & dynamic RD team.

Responsibilities

• Apply in-house design packages, commercial software, and self-written scripts to create high-speed or high-power laser device modeling and simulations, including optical waveguide, DC, RF, and thermal simulations.

• Design process flow and photomask with device fabrication engineers.

• Coordinate design verification with in-house Growth, Processing, Packaging, Characterization, and Reliability teams.

• Analyze experimental results to improve the design or model.

• Work as a team to propose new laser designs and provide supports to design optimizations.

• Provide regular written and oral reports on design tasks and progresses.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics or other related fields; or M.S. degree with 5 years relevant laser design experiences.

• 2 years of work experience in semiconductor laser design is preferred.

• Education can generally be substituted for required specialized experience.

• Preferably having previous design experiences in one or more of the following areas: high-speed laser, electro absorption modulated laser (EML), vertical cavity surface- emitting laser (VCSEL), and high power laser.

• Mastery of Matlab or other programming languages.

• Fully understand theories of semiconductor laser, photodetector, and other optoelectronic devices.

• Knowledge of basic semiconductor device fabrication process is a plus

• Self-motivated, careful, detail-oriented, and ability to think logically.

Location

This position will be on-site based in Sugar Land, Texas.
