Silicon Photonics Characterisation and Design Engineer (EP-ESE-BE-2026-109-GRAP)

Join CERN's detector R&D program for future high-energy physics experiments, working on advanced optical communication technologies for next-generation particle detectors. In this role, you will contribute to the development of radiation-tolerant Silicon Photonics components for high-speed data transmission in challenging environments. Your work will include hands-on laboratory characterisation of Silicon Photonics circuits and the design of innovative photonic devices. This position offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of photonics, electronics, and particle detection technologies.

Your responsibilities

• Contribute to the electro-optical characterisation of custom-designed photonic integrated circuits (PICs).
• Validate the PIC measurement results against optical simulations.
• Support the integration and evaluation of PICs with particle readout chips (ROCs).
• Prototype and demonstrate ...
