IC Electronic & Telecom Systems Engineer

We are looking for someone with a strong background in telecommunications and embedded systems, capable of designing complex electro-optic platforms, solving technical challenges, and collaborating with photonics engineers and physicists to integrate the full processor.

  • Full time
  • Onsite position
  • Global travel

Main responsibilities

  • Design the electronic interface layer between photonic computing devices and digital systems.
  • Develop control circuits for optoelectronic components such as lasers, modulators, photodetectors, and amplifiers.
  • Implement electro-optical (E/O) and opto-electronic (O/E) conversion systems for 1550 nm photonic components.
  • Work with analog and mixed-signal electronics: drivers, amplifiers, transimpedance stages, ADCs, comparators, and signal acquisition.
  • Develop FPGA-based control logic for modulation, timing, and photonic multi-level readout.
  • Integrate embedded systems based on RISC-V or other processors.
  • Develop firmware and low-level software for peripheral and system control.
  • Design and prototype PCBs for experimental validation.
  • Participate in building functional demonstrators of the photonic-electronic system.
  • Collaborate with photonics, materials, and fabrication teams to co-design and integrate the overall system.
  • Coordinate and manage international stakeholder meetings and contacts.

Requirements

  • Degree in Telecommunications Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Physics Engineering, Industrial Electronics, or related fields.
  • Strong knowledge of analog and digital circuits, embedded systems, and optoelectronic communication.
  • Understanding of photonic components such as modulators, photodetectors, lasers, and waveguides.
  • Experience with FPGA development and embedded systems.
  • Knowledge of programming for embedded systems (C/C++, Python, or equivalent).
  • Hands-on experience with optical-electronic lab setups, lasers, and measurement systems.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
