About the role

This role is a postdoctoral research position at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, focused on advanced photonic packaging and silicon photonics. The project involves developing low-loss optical coupling and packaging solutions for photonic integrated circuits, including chip-to-fibre, chip-to-chip, and chip-to-free-space interfaces. It suits candidates with strong experience in silicon photonics, waveguide optics, and photonic device design, who can work both independently and in a multidisciplinary team.

What you'll do

Lead the design and simulation of silicon photonic devices, waveguides, mode converters, optical couplers, and packaging interfaces using commercial photonic design tools.

Perform optical simulations and tolerance analyses to optimize coupling efficiency, bandwidth, alignment tolerance, and packaging performance.

Build and operate optical characterization setups using tunable lasers, optical spectrum analyzers, power meters, cameras, fibre alignment stages, and related equipment.

Characterize fabricated devices and packaged photonic systems, including insertion loss, spectral response, polarization dependence, and alignment tolerance.

Work with interdisciplinary academic and industrial partners on device fabrication, packaging, system integration, and end-to-end validation.

Contribute to research publications, technical reports, patent applications, and project proposals.

Good to know

The position is based at SUTD in Singapore.
The initial appointment is for one year, with the possibility of renewal subject to satisfactory performance and funding availability.

Requirements

Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Photonics, Optical Engineering, or a closely related field.
Strong background in silicon photonics, integrated photonics, waveguide optics, or photonic integrated circuits.
Demonstrated experience in photonic device design, numerical simulation, and layout.
Proficiency with relevant design and simulation tools, such as Ansys Lumerical, COMSOL, MATLAB, or Python.
Hands-on experience in constructing optical test setups and characterizing integrated photonic devices.
Familiarity with optical components and equipment such as tunable lasers, optical spectrum analyzers, power meters, polarization controllers, probe stations, and fibre alignment stages.
