Senior Photonics Design Engineer - Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) / Active Devices)

Voyant Photonics, New York Office (HQ)

The role

Design, simulate, and optimize active and passive silicon photonic components, with a focus on Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs), optical switches, modulators, and photodetectors.
Develop innovative SOA and active device designs to enhance optical performance, optimizing small-signal gain, saturation power, noise figure, bandwidth, and fabrication tolerances.
Perform electromagnetic, thermal, and multiphysics simulations to model carrier dynamics, heat dissipation, and nonlinearities across active waveguide geometries.
