Photonic Layout and Realization:

• Execute the layout of passive and active photonic components and full circuits for customer and strategic projects, strictly adhering to design rules and best practices.

Contribute to Component Design:

• Actively contribute to component design and provide critical feedback on manufacturability by performing design rule checks (DRC) and layout vs. schematic (LVS) checks.

Automation and Library Development:

• Develop, maintain, and contribute to the internal layout component library and automation scripts to enhance the efficiency of the design to layout flow, reduce layout cycle time, and enforce manufacturing guidelines.

Process Interface:

• Interface directly with the Process and Yield Engineering teams to collect manufacturing requirements and design rules, and design necessary test structures to monitor fabrication capabilities.

Layout Best Practices:

• Ensure all designs follow rigorous layout best practices, including meticulous version control and documentation of layout procedures and library components.

Data Analysis Support:

• Support the characterization team with data extraction and test planning, linking experimental results to specific physical layout features.

Documentation:

• Provide clear and complete documentation for all developed scripts, layout methodologies, and library components.
