EDWATEC SA is a privately held high-tech spin-off company, founded in 2023 by researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland (EPFL). We are an integrated device manufacturer (IDM) specializing in rare-earth ion-doped photonic integrated circuits for optical amplification and lasing. Our technology base enables us to target a wide range of markets from data communication to optical metrology and space applications with significant economic potential. Namely, by replacing bulk legacy optical amplifiers with our highly compact, high-performance, and scalable photonic integrated amplifiers, we create novel opportunities for various applications, such as optical interconnects, autonomous driving, optical communication for space, quantum computing, optical metrology and sensing, long-haul communication, and more.
Responsibilities:
We are looking for a senior photonic engineer who wishes to contribute to MVP development into a product, including:
* Develop novel photonic integrated circuit-based solutions by designing, simulating, and analyzing.
* Design and build optical test and measurement setups to characterize PICs and design reliability test experiments.
* Engage with lead customers, projects, and internal R&D activities.
* Contribute to technological development efforts of the startup, research, design, and implementation of innovative solutions and NRE contracts.
* Collaborate with the technology team to drive the development of cutting-edge products or services aligned with the company's vision.
* Ensure the efficient integration of technology solutions, optimizing performance and reliability.
* Represent the company at trade fairs.
Your background:
* 5+ years post-graduate experience in photonic integrated circuits.
* Experience in PIC-based laser and amplifier design.
* Proven hands-on experience in photonic integrated circuit characterization.
