Full Time Senior Engineer, Laser Development (New Product Development) Jobs, in POET Technologies Northwest (Singapore) - Maukerja

Position Overview

Design and develop advanced optoelectronic devices—including FP lasers, DFB lasers, EMLs, and external cavity laser modules—to meet performance and product requirements. This role involves building test setups and characterization capabilities aligned with the company’s technology roadmap and integrating these capabilities into in-house manufacturing processes.

Job Responsibilities

• Design and develop new semiconductor laser–based devices, including creating imaging setups for beam characterization, chip waveguide measurements, and integrating optical systems to achieve stable wavelength and power control; perform thermal, Characterization of electrical, and high-frequency performance testing.
• Design and lead experiments to characterize laser diode components, identify engineering trade-offs, and improve correlation between measurements and simulations, ensuring full integrity and traceability of test and sample data.
• Serve as the strategic technical point of contact for laser device development within our optical engines, working closely with internal teams and external partners; contribute to defining POET’s laser integration roadmap.
• Generate timely test reports, including measurement results and detailed analysis.
• Support the full lifecycle of laser components—from initial design and development through procurement, characterization, packaging, and transition to high-volume manufacturing.

Requirements

• Degree, Master’s, PhD, or equivalent qualification in Optical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline; specialization in semiconductor device design and characterization is an advantage.
• 5 to 8 years of relevant experience in the semiconductor, photonics, or laser industry.
• Knowledge of semiconductor fabrication processes and simulation tools for lasers and waveguides.
• Proficiency in data analysis tools (e.g., Python, Excel, JMP, Minitab) and mask layout design software.
• Strong teamwork, communication, and stakeholder collaboration skills, with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
