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.

The Technical Lead is mainly responsible to:

1) define the architecture and drive technical roadmap

2) interface with customer and align technical issues cross-functionally,

3) work with program team to address technical risks and issues, and bridge technical and capability gaps together with technical team.  

Responsibilities may include:

- Review product requirements, provide engineering response, jointly specify device performance targets, conduct device simulations, design devices/test structures/test chips, plan and execute DOEs, characterize, or evaluate device performance, etc.

- Interact with broad interdisciplinary team composed of experts in device layout, device fabrication, device test, Q&R, electrical ICs, chip assembly, component packaging, etc. to deliver optical components from R&D to high volume production with superior performance, reliability, cost, and time to market versus the competitors.

- The design and development of on-chip integration of photonic devices and components such as lasers, optical modulators, photodetectors, multiplexers, demultiplexers, couplers, spot size converters, etc.
