Conduct research and develop optoelectronic interfaces and integrated subsystems for high-speed optical networks. Translate ASIC architectures into transistor-level schematics and layouts, characterize manufactured ICs with high-frequency test techniques, integrate ICs with photonic circuits, and present research findings internally and at international conferences. Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to drive novel integration techniques and circuit architectures to improve performance and efficiency.
The Integrated Circuits & Microsystems Research Lab at Bell Labs is looking for a talented Opto-electronics ASIC Researcher. You will perform leading research and development in the design and characterization of optoelectronic interfaces and integrated subsystems for high-speed optical networks. You will drive research into novel integration techniques, integrated circuit architectures, and optoelectronic interfaces to push the boundaries of performance and efficiency.
Responsibilities- Work closely with Nokia Bell Labs researchers and business units to identify key technologies for optical sub-systems.
- Translate ASIC architectures into transistor-level circuit schematics and layouts, including driver/modulator and photodiode/TIA interconnects.
- Characterize manufactured ICs using high-frequency test & measurement techniques and wireline modulation formats.
- Collaborate on the assembly and integration of ICs with photonic integrated circuits.
- Document and present research outcomes to internal and external audiences, including travel to international conferences.
- Drive research into novel integration techniques and circuit architectures.
- Push the boundaries of performance and efficiency in high-speed optical networks.
- Maintain strong interpersonal skills and collaborate effectively with a multi-disciplinary team.
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or Physics (or Master's with 5+ years' experience) is required.
- Proven track record of successful tape-outs in state-of-the-art semiconductor technologies, preferably SiGe BiCMOS.
- Strong technical writing and communication skills are essential.
- Experience in designing and characterizing high-speed analog and mixed-signal wireline circuits.
- Proficiency in industry-standard IC toolchains, such as Cadence Virtuoso & EMX, Keysight ADS, and Ansys HFSS.
- Hands-on experience with high-frequency test & measurement equipment is a must.
- Experience with ultra-high signal frequencies (100 GHz+) is desirable.
- Knowledge of semiconductor fabrication processes, IC packaging, and microelectronics assembly is a plus.
- Skills in system modeling or digital signal processing for wireline communications are advantageous.
- Design experience or knowledge of photonic integrated circuit components is preferred.
