Photonic Design Engineer

We’re looking for a Photonic Design Engineer with hands-on experience in integrated photonics to design, simulate, and deliver manufacturable photonic circuits.

Our client is a semiconductor startup specializing in integrated photonics for free-space optical communications. Based in Málaga, the company develops disruptive, SWaP-optimized (Size, Weight, and Power) technologies for secure, high-efficiency telecommunications and defense applications.

Their team brings together experts in physics, semiconductor engineering, and photonics to develop scalable, high-performance optical systems for next-generation communication and sensing applications.

What you’ll do:

  • Design and optimize photonic components (waveguides, modulators, couplers, filters)

  • Run simulations (EME, FDTD, FEM) and validate device performance

  • Work with foundry PDKs and ensure DRC compliance

  • Develop PIC layouts and contribute to design reviews

  • Collaborate with fabrication and test teams to ensure design-for-manufacturability

  • Support device characterization and correlate measurement results with simulations

What we’re looking for:

  • Minimum 2+ years of industry experience in photonic integrated circuit design

  • Postdoctoral research experience in photonics or a related field (preferred)

  • Experience designing photonic integrated circuits

  • Hands-on experience with photonic foundries and fabrication processes

  • Experience working within a photonic design team

  • Strong understanding of optical device physics and waveguide design

  • Experience with tools such as Lumerical, IPKISS, GDSFactory, KLayout (or similar)

  • Experience with high-speed or RF photonics is a plus

Education:

  • At least a Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

  • Preferred Master’s degree in a relevant discipline

  • Bonus: PhD in Photonics, Optics, or a related field
