The company's mission is to deliver a 30× improvement in the speed, accessibility, and cost of semiconductor and photonic hardware development by 2030. Operating at the intersection of scientific computing, artificial intelligence, and advanced engineering, Our Client is building a team of exceptional technical experts to help shape the future of hardware innovation.
Location: Boston, USA (Hybrid)
Employment Type: Full-Time
Level: Mid-Senior Level
Compensation: $150,000 – $250,000 + Equity
Relocation Support: Available for US-based candidates moving to Boston; Visa sponsorship and transfers are available for strong candidates in the US.
The Opportunity Our Client is seeking a Field Applications Engineer with deep expertise in Integrated Photonics to help enterprise customers solve complex engineering challenges through AI-assisted design and workflow automation.
This is not a traditional pre‑sales role.
You will operate at the intersection of photonic engineering, scientific AI, EDA tooling, and customer deployment. Working directly with PIC designers, photonic foundries, and EDA vendors, you will transform real‑world engineering bottlenecks into deployable AI‑assisted workflows that improve design quality, manufacturability, and development speed.
This position offers a exciting opportunity to become a technical leader in the emerging field of AI‑assisted photonic engineering.
Key Responsibilities
Design and deploy AI‑assisted workflows for photonic design, verification, simulation, and yield optimization
Translate complex engineering processes into structured, physics‑grounded workflows
Identify bottlenecks across photonic development lifecycles and develop scalable solutions
Collaborate directly with PIC designers, foundries, and EDA vendors
Integrate solutions into existing EDA environments, simulation platforms, and PDK ecosystems
Develop workflows supporting variability analysis, compact modeling, layout‑aware optimization, and measurement interpretation
Support customers throughout deployment and adoption processes
Provide technical leadership and trusted guidance to engineering stakeholders
Feed customer insights back into product development and platform capabilities
Contribute to workflow architecture, deployment best practices, and future platform direction
Requirements
MSc or PhD in Integrated Photonics, Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related discipline
5+ years of hands‑on experience in integrated photonic product development
Proven experience bringing photonic technologies from development through deployment or commercialization
Strong expertise with photonic simulation and EDA environments such as COMSOL, Ansys, RSoft, Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys OptoCompiler, Luceda IPKISS, and similar photonic design platforms
Experience designing advanced photonic components including high‑speed modulators, photodiodes, optical interconnects, silicon photonics devices
Experience working directly with photonic foundries and EDA vendors
Knowledge of multi‑objective optimization and co‑design methodologies
Excellent communication skills with both technical and business stakeholders
Preferred Qualifications
Experience using modern AI technologies including LLMs, APIs, agentic systems, workflow orchestration frameworks
Python programming for scientific computing and automation
Experience with cloud computing or HPC environments
Exposure to enterprise software deployment
Experience collaborating with R&D organizations
Prior Field Applications Engineer, Field Scientist, Solutions Engineer, or Customer Success Engineer experience within photonics or semiconductors
What We Offer
Competitive compensation package
Equity participation through stock options
Access to cutting‑edge AI, photonics, and semiconductor technologies
Direct collaboration with leading researchers and industry experts
Conference participation and professional development opportunities
Exposure to advanced scientific computing and AI infrastructure
High‑impact technical work with real‑world engineering applications
Opportunity to shape a rapidly growing technical function
If you are passionate about integrated photonics, scientific computing, and applying AI to solve real engineering challenges, we would love to hear from you...
