The Integrated Photonics Technologies (IPT) research unit is looking for an experienced researcher (3+ years post PhD) to take a leading role in the development of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) based on innovative material systems and technology. The successful candidate will manage project-related activities and actively contribute to the forthcoming of a multi-national research project. 

Your future responsibilities will include:

• Design and development of photonic integrated circuits for datacom and sensing applications
• Lead or support the design of active components with the introduction of advanced thin film materials into innovative photonic platforms e.g. high-speed modulators
• Design and optimize passive photonic components for multiple photonic platforms e.g.  LiN and AlN
• Collaborate with process engineers to develop fabrication processes for integrated photonic devices in an R&D cleanroom facility
• Lead or contribute to internal testing and data analysis to evaluate the performance of integrated photonic devices
• Collaborate with all other functional teams and research units in the organization to implement co-designed and co-optimized photonic systems 
• Actively collaborate with the network of European project partners
• Scientific reporting, documentation, generation of new intellectual property including patent applications, 
• Actively contribute to or lead the preparation of funding proposals
• Lead projects in collaboration with industry or academia
