Are you ready to play a key role in validating and ensuring the performance of advanced photonic integrated circuits (PICs)? Join our team in Pisa as a PIC Engineer specializing in the testing and validation of cutting-edge photonic components. In this role, you will be integral in ensuring that our photonic designs meet the highest standards of functionality, reliability, and performance in real-world applications. Key Responsibilities: Develop and execute test plans for photonic integrated circuits (PICs), ensuring they meet stringent performance criteria. Perform optical characterization of PICs, including measurements of power, wavelength, loss, and efficiency. Work with simulation tools to compare test data with design expectations. Collaborate with design teams to provide feedback and iterate on PICs to improve performance. Troubleshoot and resolve issues in the PIC manufacturing and testing processes. Ensure compliance with industry standards in testing, validation, and quality assurance. Analyze test data, prepare detailed reports, and recommend improvements for the next design iteration.
