About us

We see the semiconductor industry as a realm of possibility. We see opportunity. We see the profound impact that our graphene solutions will have in transforming the industry. We invite you to join us in driving change with our fundamentally human-centered approach, uniting bright minds around a shared vision. The vision is: Prove to everybody that you can make a fundamental change. Prove with your knowledge and skills how things can be done differently. Together, we can change the paradigm of how the world connects 



About our technology

The semiconductor industry's growing demand for more powerful chips with higher bandwidth and lower power finds its solution in our technology. We connect chips to high-throughput, low-delay computing networks. The key lies in harnessing the physical properties of graphene to combine electronic computing with photonic communication, allowing countless chips to interact almost as if they were one. Our graphene photonic innovation increases computing power and efficiency to a new order of magnitude     
  
In short, we connect chips to create powerful and energy-efficient networks, overcoming connectivity limitations in the semiconductor industry. We deliver the graphene solution 

The Role

Black Semiconductor is seeking a Photonic Component Designer(f/m/d) to create broadband passive devices that enable high-performance I/O coupling and polarization management as well as high-speed active components. In this role, you will design, simulate, and optimize fabrication-tolerant devices, develop test structures, and deliver PDK-ready building blocks while applying best practices in design-for-test and design-for-functionality

To join our team, you should be excited to

Design and benchmark passive for I/O coupling and polarization management as well as active componentsPerform fabrication tolerant design optimizationDevelop test structures and apply design-for-test (DFT) methodsCarry out component and circuit layoutingDeliver PDK ready components Apply design-for-functionality (DFF) best practices

Your Qualifications

M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related fieldExpertise in integrated photonics device physics and modeling Proven skills in design, simulation, verification, and optimization of fabrication-tolerant, low-loss, and broadband passive components (ideally grating couplers, edge couplers, and polarization management devicesExperience in design, simulation, verification, and optimization of active componentsBackground in integrated photonics platforms (ideally SiN)Proficiency with Lumerical tools (Mode, FDTD, Multiphysics)Programming skills in Python and familiarity with GitExperience with layout tools (gdsfactory, Nazca, OptoDesigner)Hands-on experience in test structure development and design for testing (DFT)Knowledge of optical link simulation is nice to havePhotonic lab characterization experience is nice to haveUnderstanding of design for manufacturability (DFM) is a plusExperience with PDK building block development (compact model creation, p-cells, etc.) is nice to have
