Watertown, Massachusetts, United States Hybrid Employment

EM is hiring a Senior Design Automation Engineer

Responsibilities

  • Create and support integrations linking photonic design software with standard electronic design automation tools for layout, design rule checking, layout versus schematic, and schematic-guided design processes.
  • Facilitate smooth bidirectional workflows across EDA platforms, photonic design environments, and electromagnetic simulation tools.
  • Develop Python-based application programming interfaces and automation scripts to interface photonic design systems with existing engineering toolchains.
  • Collaborate directly with users to solve practical design problems in areas such as quantum photonics, RF photonics, silicon photonics, and co-packaged optical systems.
  • Design and implement application-specific workflows and reference implementations spanning component-level simulation, circuit modeling, compact model generation, and physical layout.
  • Utilize GPU-accelerated multi-physics simulation engines to develop simulation pipelines that account for fabrication constraints and real-world performance factors.

Responsibilities (6)

  • Develop and maintain integrations between PhotonForge and industry-standard EDA tools for layout, DRC, LVS, and schematic-driven design.
  • Enable seamless round-trip workflows between EDA environments, PhotonForge, and Tidy3D simulation.
  • Build Python-based APIs and automation scripts that connect PhotonForge to existing toolchains.
  • Work with end users on real-world design challenges in quantum photonics, RF photonics, co-packaged optics, or silicon photonics.
  • Develop application workflows and reference designs across component simulation, circuit simulation, compact modeling, and layout.
  • Leverage Flexcompute’s GPU-accelerated Tidy3D multi-physics solvers (tackling optical, RF, charge, and thermal physics) to build fabrication-aware simulation pipelines.
