Most RF engineers are limited by what their technology can do. Here, you’ll be the one pushing it forward.

This is your chance to work at the heart of a fast-growing deep-tech startup that’s redefining silicon photonics by merging it with organic materials, unlocking faster, more scalable optical communications. You’ll be a key player in the design and development of high-bandwidth photonic integrated circuits (PICs), with real influence on design strategy, and the potential to grow into a leadership role as the team expands.

What’s in it for you?

· A hands-on, high-impact role in a genuinely pioneering tech environment.

· Full ownership of RF simulation, design, and characterization processes.

· Collaborative startup culture where communication and contribution actually matter.

· Flexibility to work remotely part-time or (for some roles) fully remote, though close teamwork means face time matters, too.

· Salary up to €80,000 depending on experience.

· Real career progression is highly pushed in this company

What you’ll be doing

· Lead RF aspects of next-gen PIC design and take them through to foundry tape-out.

· Collaborate closely with in-house experts in organic materials to co-develop integrated electro-optic devices.

· Own the full characterization loop, bandwidth, sheet resistance, and beyond.

· Ideally, also contribute to packaging design, though this can be learned on the job.

What you’ll need

· Solid experience as an RF engineer OR PIC Designer

· Familiarity with silicon photonics is essential.

· Comfortable with tools like Python, Klayout, and OptoDesigner.

· Bonus points for experience with VNAs and hands-on characterization.

· Experience working with foundries and overseeing tape-out processes.

· Most importantly: you’re communicative, proactive, and thrive in startup-style environments where everyone rolls up their sleeves.
