The company is moving fast to solve unmet clinical diagnostics challenges. Joining us now will provide you with the unmatched opportunity of applying advanced technical skills to improve people's health, and professionally evolving quickly in a young and dynamic highly qualified environment. All of it while working in one of the most sought-after cities in Europe: Málaga!
We offer a Full-time position in a company with top-tier talent retention policies, a responsibility-based working culture oriented toward better diversity, equity, and inclusion, and fast-paced professional development in a multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists. You will build a project from the ground up with a truly relevant social impact and collaborate with people-focused leaders in fields of photonics, chemistry, and medicine.
Position Overview
The Integrated Photonics Engineer at Bioherent will be responsible for the development and design of optical and photonic systems required for the company's photonic biosensors. In this role, you will be required to lead process development and design to create commercial versions of the products, working in a fab-less environment.
Responsibilities
1. Design and simulate silicon photonics integrated optical devices, including waveguides, power splitters, and couplers, optimized for high performance and yield.
2. Develop photonic integrated circuits (PICs) in adherence to foundry design rules, with robust tolerance modeling for fabrication processes.
3. Interface with external foundries to align on design rules, process tolerances, and mask layout requirements, ensuring efficient chip production and scaling from prototype to mass manufacturing.
4. Lead the design and implementation of photonic mask layouts using tools like Nazca-Design.
5. Formulate and execute optical testing strategies for both individual devices and integrated systems, utilizing custom opto-electro-mechanical setups to validate performance and identify optimization opportunities.
6. Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including electronics, microfluidics, chemistry, and clinical specialists—to integrate photonic solutions into cohesive in-vitro diagnostic devices.
7. Document processes, experimental results, and project milestones, contributing to internal knowledge sharing and external reporting.
8. Support the creation of R&D project proposals and customer-focused initiatives, leveraging your expertise to align solutions with clinical and technical needs (depending on experience).
Required Skills
1. Master or PhD in Electrical/Telecommunication/Photonic Engineering or Physics.
2. At least 2 years of experience in photonic design and fluent use of typical simulation tools, e.g., Lumerical, RSoft, Fimmwave, or COMSOL.
3. Experience in scripted mask layout, e.g., Nazca-Design.
4. Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, MATLAB, or R.
5. Experience with optical instrumentation and photonic characterization of integrated photonic devices and systems.
6. Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
7. Ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment.
8. Fluent in English, writing and speaking.
Preferred Skills
1. Expertise in scripting languages (MATLAB, Python).
2. Expertise in optical simulation tools (OSLO, ZEMAX).
3. Experience in clean-room environments, particularly waveguide fabrication techniques.
4. Familiarity with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks).
