Job Description
Intel Silicon Photonics Product Division (SPPD) is at the forefront of silicon photonics integration and is part of The Connectivity Group which is at the heart of Intel's transformation from a PC company to a company that powers the cloud and billions of smart, connected computing-devices. Since announcing the world's first hybrid silicon laser nearly a decade ago, our team continues to lead the industry with cutting-edge technology and efficient, scalable high-volume manufacturing. Our dedication to advanced development ensures that Intel Silicon Photonics continues to drive future data center bandwidth growth with smaller form factors, co-packaging and higher speeds from 400G today to 1.6T+ and beyond tomorrow. We are looking for great talent to accelerate this journey so if you are interested in joining our leading organization then we want to hear from you.
Intel's Silicon Photonics Product Division is seeking an experienced photonic design manager to lead a team of photonic design engineers as well as hands-on design the innovative passive photonic devices to build silicon photonics next-generation optical products. In this position, you will gain invaluable experience which will allow growth and expanded opportunities within this business group.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Deliver a large variety of functionality passives components/photonic integrated circuits
Lead a team of highly-skilled silicon photonic passive component designers to define devices target specs and to develop innovative passive component library with full-parameter simulation, layout, tape-out, process integration, component EVT validation, and wafer level testability.
Own, design and development the passive components through design, simulation, device testability, SDL layout, tape-out, data analysis and debug
Role model as component design manager and hands-on designer to and deliver innovative passive photonic devices from idea to high volume manufacturing
Lead the passive design team to define novel waveguide structures across fabrication process platforms
Experience to work across the BU to align various functional teams to the engineering requirements document.
