OPTICAL_PHYSICS · ROL-0008
PIC Simulation & Model Extraction Engineer
Close the loop between electromagnetic simulation and the compact models circuit designers actually use. You make it possible for someone else to design a PIC without re-deriving the physics each time.

RESPONSIBILITIES
- Build a parameterised electromagnetic model library for the PDK's photonic devices.
- Extract compact models — S-parameters and behavioural models — and validate them against measured data.
- Quantify model uncertainty and propagate it into design-margin guidance.
- Automate the simulation sweep infrastructure and its data storage.
- Own the PDK documentation: what each model assumes, and where it breaks.

WHAT WE NEED TO SEE
- Strong applied electromagnetics — mode theory, FDTD or FEM at production depth.
- Comfort building automated simulation sweeps and managing their output.
- Ability to write documentation that another engineer can actually design against.
ADVANTAGEOUS
- Experience correlating simulated and measured photonic devices.
- Statistical or yield-aware modelling.
- Circuit-level photonic simulation, e.g. in an electronic-photonic co-design flow.
